Not sure the In-laws place will survive that if it tracks the way it's predicted. The eye will pass right over it.?ÿ

Wow.?ÿ When those things come up the Gulf, the resultant rain can really build up all the way up here in Kentucky.?ÿ I would hate to be sitting one out right in the middle of it.

Stay safe!

Scary how flat and close to sea level that entire Tampa area is. Hoping for the best for everyone down there.

@dougie re: Hurricane Party

Back in the olden days I did, it was more of a sleepover in a safe place, but it was fun just the same. Today I'm more like a sloth than a party animal. ?????ÿ

Clearwater Beach, at the beach, is where my daughter's wedding took place in November 2018.?ÿ Doesn't look like a good place to be today.

My youngest daughter's mother-in-law and her mother-in-law's sister have been in Fort Myers the past few days.?ÿ My son-in-law's 90+ year-old grandmother was on her deathbed in a hospital there through the worst of the storm.?ÿ Grandma died while the world was going sideways but she was safe and secure for her Heavenly departure.?ÿ She was my grandson's only living great-grandparent.

@andy-bruner?ÿ

Thanks. The snakes don't know what in hell to do. They are looking for high ground only to be met by us "big pink things" armed with rakes and/or brooms. It's either drown or be beaten to death. ?????ÿ
