I’m always ready for whatever. I have a generator (back when I still had some money I bought one because you kind of have to and I figured I might need it at some point in the 50+ years I hope to live here) so it’s all ready to go.
I never took @Bleedred for a redhead but now the username makes sense.Live look at his street
About as much could be without full on hoarding. We are pretty good about having extra supplies during hurricane season but I do buy more if it seems like something big is brewing. Honestly not sure if it’s headed more towards you or closer to me at this point. A few hours ago we started getting the first very outter bands of rain.

Definitely not a redhead! Most people would describe my hair color as black, some would say an extremely dark brown. Although these days it's getting to be a bit gray on the sides, causing me to shave the sides to a 0 on the sides every 2 weeks instead of once every 4 weeks. Which is fine with me, as I've been shaving the sides to a 0 and leaving some on top for years now anyway.
Fortunately, I actually live about 30-35 feet above sea level. My buddy is right on the bay and I'm worried about his place flooding out. Just like the last hurricane (think it was the I storm of that year too? Irma maybe?) that came through here in 2017, I'll have him and his whole family and pets here for a few days. He's also got watercraft docked out back at his house. I'm actually slightly worried about my place of work being damaged (gulfront) and not being able to work for however long. That hotel has been there since like 1958, so it's probably seen worse than this.
Well, as of now you have been spared the brunt of it. With the latest update, it’s literally targeted to go directly over my head tomorrow.Definitely not a redhead!

I'm not worried about structural damage so much, as this place is rated to take some pretty strong winds, as this type of event is common (not super common in the 11 years I've lived here) in the state. And it's also why I pay so much in homeowners insurance (bought this place in cash with years of money I banked living in Jersey, back when home prices had really bottomed out in 2011, I would never be able to afford a mortgage on top of insurance and property taxes now) for these types of events too.
You stay safe as well and also give us updates.
Ouch. That close to you? It seems to keep moving a bit south every new update, so you may also be spared.
You and your family will certainly be in my prayers. Please let us know and check in when you can and stay safe.
I'm flying in on the 7th. Great timing, huh.
To be fair being part of the group is 100% your choice. Even that loony who posts about how great Lovejoy was gets to participate.
6am update …. My dogs look outside while I leash them after being in the house since last night… they look back at me like… “you want me to go out in this?!?”You and your family will certainly be in my prayers. Please let us know and check in when you can and stay safe.
