The forecasters at ACCUWeather think it will take 5 hours to cross from the west coast of Fla. to the east coast. That should knock the wind down a little going over land and swamp. - tom
We just have to drag in the patio furniture, then I'm on to cooking. Mr. Twin2's big concern is do we shut all of the rollodin shutters, or leave one open so when do lose power we still can get a breeze through here. I'm inclined to close them all and sweat it out.

Wise words from Jeb: "A hurricane's a hurricane"---hahahh
More gasoline that usual available. Helos and DMAT are staged and ready to assist with search and rescue, medical assist.
Speaking of that, my neighbor to the south shuttered all her windows, but she left all her stuff out in her backyard. I haven't seen her since yesterday.
Ch 13 in Orlando showing Brevard briefing. Not Jeb. WFTV not showing Jeb except clips.
Don Noe on ABC just said she'll be accelerating to 30 mph.
WFLA covering NASCAR, Ch 10 has football. Oh well...
How inconsiderate. Does she have a pool? I'd throw it all in there. If my neighbor doesn't take down their bird feeder from a tree aimed directly at my screen patio....I'm going to do it myself.

Maybe she's hoping her insurance company will be buying her all new furniture. Of course if her furniture damages *your* house, is she liable?
If you haven't done it already, consider taking photos of the mess on the lawn in case you end up with an insurance claim.
A couple other things I am doing that I've learned to do....
Do all your wash.
Vacuum your house.
It will be awhile before you can do either if your electric goes out.
Jeb encourages everyone to make sure all neighbors are taken care of. Many are shut-ins with relatives up north.
Three days??? You mean we have to wait for three whole days??? I might just have to resort to cannibalism, then! At the very least, I'll have to eat some of those big toads in my yard. Where's my FEMA card? Can I help myself to a plasma tv while I wait for the feds?
