From Florida's Governor:

Quote:
The time for evacuating along the coast has come and gone. First responders will not be able to come out in the middle of the storm. If you chose to stay in an evacuation zone, you must SEEK REFUGE IMMEDIATELY.

I'm having breakfast at my favorite local greasy spoon.

Businesses are open here in my part of FL.



Walmart 2 miles away is open with no plans to close. I might stop off there and do some shopping on the way home. I need a new pair of Starter running shorts.

You better start chronicling the storm with video every hour like I did last year during Irma.

We have a place in Freeport, a couple of acres and a mobile home. Hoping it survives.

Hope the flooding/ storm surge is much less than predicted. We had some coastal Flodding here on the west coast. But nothing more than inconvenience.

I hope you are right Seasix. You probably are. I think the storm surge for your area is 2 to 4 feet. Won't storm surge come from the bay behind you also?

Storm surge is 0-1' at my house. I can't tell that there is any surge at all.

I'm at the extreme western edge of tropical storm force winds.

It's peaking around 36mph out of due north right now.

That Ginger chick on ABC news just said that anything within 20 miles of the coast is going to be completely gone if it is not already and there will be nothing left but concrete slabs by this afternoon.

Ummmm.....does she not realize she is reporting from a beach side hotel?

Lars quit posting about a half an hour ago. He was posting frequently before that. Says he has lost power, no standing water at his house yet. Hope he's okay.

Watching for reports from Lars and hoping he is ok - it turned a lot worse than I think he was initially expecting.
