All the windows are boarded. All the neighbors are evacuating. I am the only one in the neighborhood who boarded the windows! My boat is tied to the neighbor's dock, and vice versa. If one loses a boat or dock, we both do.

I am exhausted, and I still don't know whether I will pay heed to the mandatory evac.

Still have some plants to bring in. Just need to take a break...

[I still care]

Shall I tell you my board story?

Years ago, I went through Gloria. I went right through the eye. That area doesn't get it as bad as NE of the eye, which my friend was in.

He didn't board his window, seemed sort of silly, no one else did.

Halfway through the morning, his window started bowing in and out, in and out. He starts to get nervous. So he gets a piece of plywood, figures if he slides it out next to the house, and nails it in, he'll be alright.

About 2 feet out the door the wind catches the board with my friend trying to hold onto it. He flies right up in the air, and over the car, spends a few good moments in the air, and lands on the hood.

LOL.
