Cheer up, SW. I'm here in Orlando bringing in the patio furniture and making bags of ice in case of loss of power, which is almost a given. I've been surviving hurricanes since '62 in Miami and I expect I'll survive this one, as well. So will you.

As for the weather, it's been gray, but calm here all morning. But looking out the window now, I can see the oaks and palms starting to move a bit, so I suspect the curtain is rising on this event.

Stay calm and safe, SW. Try to relax and enjoy the awsome majesty and might of what's about to happen. Not everyone gets to experience a big storm like this and I, for one, intend to be out in it, camera in hand, enjoying the moment. Take care.

Agreed.

I've been through many hurricanes while growing up in Louisiana and I can say firsthand that there's something strangely inviting about having a hurricane come through. It's awesome to behold and experience. In fact, since moving to California, my family and I have missed having to go through hurricane season.

Have fun and post some of the photos on FR when you're through.
