Good morning everyone. With the continued west movement I am out of the eye wall cone for now. However we are still going to receive hurricane force wind gusts inside the outer bands. Terri is in the Eastern eye wall cone still and will see greater winds than me.
Sunshine? Rain? Oranges?
Florida residents annual pass?
i think we are finally done with hurricane prep, all windows boarded and everything out of the yard. Since Irma's move to the West, my sister and her four kids are heading here to ride it out. They live in Bradenton in a flood zone and her husband is a firefighter and will have to work. Going to be a crazy couple of days, but we will make the best of it. Told her to tell the kids it will be like indoor camping, lol. Will try to get you guys an update tomorrow.
You woke up a winner Ed!

I'm glad the hurricane moved away from you!But, I have a friend in Tampa and it looks like it's heading for her now. She and her husband have boarded up and hunkered down.

Make up volleyball game road trip this afternoon but have about an hour before we have to leave. Any thoughts on this one before I depart for the afternoon:

Now you need to pick some lottery numbers!Seriously...you're "out of the cone" but not "out of the woods". Gonna be a LONG, LONG night isn't it? And a LOUD one! We didn't realize how loud the rain was until it stopped...as they say, "silence is golden". Had a hard time sleeping that night too without the rain pounding on the roof.
Thank goodness you won't get the 155+ mph winds; feel MUCH better but then...."100 mph gusts" isn't something you look forward to either.
Last I saw was storm surge of 2-4' which is another plus; just hoping now that you don't get 25+ inches of rain!
Terri's "hell" starts tomorrow...possible wind gusts of 120 mph is NOT fun! Keep us posted!

Epcot?

8pm update. Power still on. Outer Outer bands are rolling over with some very heavy rain thunder and lightning. Stopped my floating in the pool The eye is still along side of Cuba. I am watching a Terminator movie on Amazon prime.
I will every so often when I can. There are some very healthy wind gusts in with these outer feeder bands. Now that the lightning is gone time to go back and float in the pool. And yes it is warm. Not watching the storm coverage either. Tired of watching it so much for the last week.
