What fun. I presume your hurricane kit is up to date and ready, hopefully by the time it gets your way it will have died down some. If we’re lucky, it will turn Mar-a-Lago into a sinkhole :).
The way things have been trending, that place could become Bajo-el-Mar anytime now. Today is the peak of the seasonal peak “king tide” with a new moon and the moon at perigee, so the effect of the storm surge will be amplified. I’m ready, but at the mercy of the Bermuda High which is steering the storm.
I have visitors coming in early next week, so I’m hoping for a pass on this one. Mustang Bobby has a worry because the track keeps dropping south.
