We sat through Irma and that was SOMETHING! Think we're sitting through this too
I watched these trees bend at least 45° during Irmas wind gusts and bounce right back up then over again multiple times and thought for sure they'd snap but they didn't

You can come over here for a couple days. Bring some of that rain with you. I need it.

May send Lisa, my son, and the dog out to my brother's place (about 100 miles away) and I'll ride it out here.....

Lisa said she wasn't leaving me, so we'll ride it..... I'm not really concerned, but careful and cautious. Been down this road before and a Cat 1 and 2 aren't bad at all, but never been in a Cat 3 or 4, so we'll see how that plays out.
We have steel containers and there's no possible way for those to get moved or destroyed with everything in them, so if it gets bad we can go into them.
Not scared, but have a healthy respect for mother nature.

I think the only thing you guys will have to deal with is some winds and storm surge, but of course you know as well as I do the path can change at any point.
In a way we're lucky I-275 overpass for 22nd ave N is about 100 feet to the West of us, breaks a lot of Gulf of Mexico winds

Whatever you do DO NOT watch the Weather Channel while you ride out the storm. Stick to your local newscast.
The Weather Channel is all about ratings. They will scare the shit out of you with all the doom and gloom. Video screens in the background with trees bending and water rising over the top of houses ect.
This stuff does and can happen but I don't need a ratings whore telling me I will die if I stay home. It is so over the top and it pisses me off.
