Dear Texas,
Pretty sure we are safe,
Shuttered real well.
Problem is losing electricity.
Since we are somewhat rural the power company gets things up and running in the more populated areas first.
One took 14 days
Another 10 to get power restored.
Also it is thoses unable to do much i worry about.

Saw on another thread about lobster fishermen out of Key West who were moving their traps some 70 miles west, and haven't been heard from in a couple of days.

Irma is a truly big and dangerous storm.

Psalm 107:23-28
23 Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.
24 They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
