Hello, buddies! Thank you all for the congratulations and good wishes/prayers.
I'm still watching the storm path. It took a jog today that takes it more westerly. They eye looks like it will track straight up the Florida peninsula. This thing is a monster...350+ miles across. Florida is only a little more than a hundred miles from coast to coast! Having the eye over land will take a lot of power out of it, which means by the time it gets to my area, it should be a CAT 1, or a tropical storm. However, the forecasts vary widely, and today the local sheriff held a press conference. There is a voluntary evacuation order starting today, and he said that there would *probably* be a mandatory order on Saturday. If there is a mandatory order, I will bug out with the kitties.
I went out this afternoon, and my sleepy little town was a traffic jam. The interstate coming out of Georgia narrows from 3 lanes to two. From the border, the Interstate is a parking lot. Stop and crawl. There is a secondary minor highway that goes straight through downtown, and it was the same. I had to navigate through all of that to get where I was going. A trip that should have taken 20 minutes tops, took me 45.
I know the back roads around here, that probably wouldn't even show up on a GPS. I have my route planned, if I do need to get out.
It looks like in this area, at least, it will be mostly a wind event, like last time. Only 2-5 inches of rain forecast for now. Last year, in Matthew, my house withstood 95 mile-an-hour winds without even a shudder. So if the winds are in that range, I feel confident in staying.
For now, my prayers and compassion go out to the island folks (CC? Are you there?). So many islands were completely decimated, and are facing a second storm tonight. I will update again tomorrow.
Ironically, we are having the most gorgeous weather right now! Humidity gone, cool temperatures, bright blue skies. The high front is one of the things that is steering Irma away from us. Hang in there, High Front! <3
Have a wonderful day/night, friends.
