Goodnight all. I have to get to sleep. Not much I can do now, here in Louisville... except, pray for all those who’s property and lives are in danger.

May God protect them.

Very slow drift to the north, bad news, giving it more time over the bathwater before hitting Florida.

I was there AF myself. Spent two weeks cleaning up the graveyards and the homes.

Me and a guy from West VA driving around in his truck with AF chainsaws. I flew in from MEM on the first flight. Airport was a mess.

Base was damaged but many of us took to civilian operation.

I don’t like going in tall buildings, either.

Flying? HAHAHAHA

Wind and rain.

You might as well stand outside in it at that point.

You might as well not break them preemptively cause they just might hold and protect you from the elements.

Key West has lost power. All the webcams are gone.

I thank you!
That’s what I thought but I believe that means they’re predicting an Easterly track.
But I’ll look again in the morning. Suspect I’m missing something incredibly simple.
Thanks again.

It seems to me that even if you rode it out, you might be stuck there quite awhile, and/or have some kind of emergency for which help would be unavailable or unable to reach you. Interesting article:

More intensification, drifting to the NW, pulling fuel from the Caribbean as well as the Gulf and Atlantic, and another nasty band building to go into South Florida.

Thanks metmom. So would the danger be that you could be blown out the window? Again, if you lay on the floor up against the far wall or in a hall even of the high rise......it might be ok. No? Just hold on to something and ride it out?

That’s why mr. mm and I *WERE* going to drive down to Anna Maria for a vacation this year.

Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen now.

Dang. I just *LOVE* it there. I was so looking forward to it. Had a beautiful little place all rented out for a great price.

If it is 305 that is a good 15 degrees. Anyone on the W. coast be warned. Panhandle should prepare.

Great article. It says you “should be safe” in your high rise. The problem is after. But that’s why I would have cheetos.....bags and bags of cheetos and water too. Thanks....yes, interesting article.
