I rode my bike over to the beach this morning to check out the action,
tide is up but not a lot of churning at this point. Went back over just
a little while ago at high tide to see what was going on, it is probably
about 2ft higher than usual, though today and tomorrow are high
astronomical tides. Winds tomorrow will be onshore at 44-47 at high
tide time, so there will likely be more of a surge than now. Met a
family there from Tampa who had bailed out and were staying here, Bubba
had his bass boat behind his bigass truck, so I am comforted that the
Redneck Navy has arrived! But got me thinking about everyone else down
that way and hoping y'all stay safe.
I think we will be OK, certainly better than the models were suggesting
3 days ago when they were showing landfall basically right over my vast
estate. We'll get some wind and rain and a bit of flooding but we
should be fine. I did board up the house and garage, so that was a
chore, and have a few things to move around and tie down. Power company
is not going to shut power off like last October, so unless a limb or
tree takes down my wires I will have lights and refrigeration.
Generator is waiting though, so ready for any eventuality.
Y'all stay dry and safe!

Watching the news they said Tampa is the most vulnerable place, looks like they
might get a direct hit.
