Thanks for the update. Local news last night was surprised that Bahamas hadn't issued a hurricane warning.
Off to work.
Well...not to be alarmist or anything...My neighbor across the street has a brother in law that woprks at AccuWeather. He just called me and said their forecast which is about 15 minutes old hasd Rita doing an "explosive intensification" as it approaches the Florida Keys. Says a Cat 4 as it nears Key West.
Here I sit on Sugarloaf key, 17 ,iles north of Key West.
Take it with a grain of salt, but this could be the worst storm to hit the Keys in decades according to this guy at Accuweather.
Bye for now, got preparations to take care of.
Mandatory evac now up for the Keys. I'm going to hang in here, hopefully I'm not making a mistake.
