RE: Prepping and waiting for Hurricane Irma - emergency links for FL residents included
My friend left Orlando last night. It took him 16 hours to drive to Tennessee. I'm staying put for now but I don't intend to stay in this tin can I call a "house" if winds are going to be over 40 mph. I'd probably be safer in my storage unit!
How are you doing? Just wanted to make sure you and your family are ok.
How'd you guys make out through the storm?
Hernando County was hit pretty hard. I was actually outside in the EYE of the damned thing looking up at the half moon. Pretty damned crazy. We had power for a few days and just got internet today. No complaints. I have a home to rest my head in...which is a damned MIRACLE because a micro tornado literally dropped a bunch of trees at my door step... you know... because a hurricane just wasn't enough. SMH
Well I'm happy to know your are ok. We got very lucky here all things considered. Lost power/water for about 30 hours, and most of the trees are shredded as expected, but no damage to house or cars. Seems to be hit or miss, my sister's place and some friends 10 miles east of me closer to Ft Lauderdale got hit harder. I just took down our shutters yesterday and now have the next blob spinning in the Atlantic. :-/
