What is the elevation of your house, MBY, and the distance from the Gulf? Sometimes these things can be the major factors. 'Course in the strongest hurricanes, everything in their path is at risk.

Best of luck.

Morning everyone.

Thanks all for the blessings. They really helped, I have no doubt.

I just woke up.

I went in to my work at 3 am, after packing my bags and battening down the hatches at the house, to secure my office stuff. Someone had already been in and done it, put all the computers on top of our desks. Hmmm. Then when I got home and watched the update the tracking had the storm moving in to the north of me by about 45 miles. Sam, I am actually on a small island right on the water, but we have the barrier islands between us and the gulf, which is a lot of protection but still scary in a storm like this, as there is only one low road on and off the island. And it goes under water at a 2-3 foot storm surge. I ended up staying and I'm glad I did. Scary for a while there, but all we got was wind gusts at about 70 and a lot of rain. We have storm shutters on all windows so we got a little water damage from wind blow rain coming into cracks, but that's all. Lucky me. And sad for those who are a little north of here. They got some damage.
