It seems certain that Irma will hit Florida and travel up the center of the state. Florida is a peninsula. The damage is likely to affect both coasts.
My roof is not fixed yet. It's not going to be fixed before the winds and rains come. I can only be grateful I am not there and hope for the best.
I was seeing the traffic jamb as people were evacuating. There are always those who refuse to evacuate. I am thinking about those who are on island countries. They can't just jump in cars and leave. Scary stuff.

I have a sister dealing with fires just 2 miles away. I have a lot of family in Florida, mostly St Pete area and 1 family evacuated already with all their loved ones and importantly belongings. they have arrived in Atlanta where they know they will have severe rain but with their family. I have a niece who just moved to Lake Worth who called me last night crying. She is so scared and her hubby and his family all are in Boca and they tell her it will be fine to calm down they've been through this before. All I can say is that shoveling snow never looked so good. And I can hear Al Gore saying, I told you so, I told you so! I hope your home fares well.
ReplyDeleteThese are scary timesin many ways. It seemswe may get early winter too in our area as geese have been leaving since.mid August.
ReplyDeleteHope your house is spared. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the roof holds. I have a ton of family in Fl and all are concerned. Me too.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you will be safe. Houses are replaceable.
ReplyDeleteIt's scary to think how many people are going to be affected and how many already are. And then there is the other two to worry about.
ReplyDeleteThe world is crazy right now. Glad your safe
I'm just listening to how all people are being evacuated off Barbuda onto Antigua because Hurricane Jose is due to hit Barbuda tomorrow. That country is already destroyed.
ReplyDeletePlease keep us posted about the fate of your Florida house.
It is truly frightening. At least in North America we have access to the supplies to repair the damage (with the exception of human lives). Those small islands in the Caribbean will be suffering for many years to come. If this doesn't open the eyes of those who do not believe in climate change, I don't know what will.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely your home is Florida is spared.
I hope your Florida home is spared. Keep us informed.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter survived the tragedy that was the category 5 Hurricane Ivan on Grand Cayman.She escaped a day ahead (because her mother made her) but she went back three days later. There was no running wter for weeks, and the island was completely flattened. a photograper took pictures before and after and they are truly frightening. In an island there is no wa to go and there are often not enough planes. I am praying today for everyone as I see what is happeneng on the in the news this sunday.
ReplyDeleteI have driven that route from Tampa to Texas many times. It is a long drive without being cram packed with evacuees. I hope your condo comes through it without too much damage but glad you were not there to know.
