I don’t typically concern myself with hurricanes unless they are Category three or higher. The reason being that I am more than 50 miles from either coast, and hurricane damage with smaller storms is pretty much restricted to a mile or two of the ocean. Honestly, Florida gets thunderstorms every afternoon in the summer, and they often have winds of tropical storm strength. This far inland, it just isn’t a problem unless you live in a flood prone area or a mobile home, which I do not.
With that being said, the forecast on Sunday night isn’t looking good, and it looks like this hurricane will be a Cat 3 when I arrives in a couple of days. I spent Sunday before bed picking up all of the outdoor stuff. I am working for the next few days, so the wife is on her own.
At the hospital, we clear out a section of the hospital normally reserved for elective surgeries, and make it into a dorm of sorts for the staff who must work during the storm. That’s where I will be staying for the next three days. There may or may not be any posting. I have a couple on deck that I have already written, and they will likely be the only posts for the time being.

Best of luck! Prudent to stay safe, I hope this is just an average storm. The way things roll these days, I don’t rule anything out.

Good luck in the days ahead. Hopefully the storm passes without incident and you don’t have to deal with chaos at the hospital.

Is there some real estate that the globalists are after?
Ziolensky just bought a house in Egypt under a family member’s name, maybe a vacation spot in Florida is on the menu.
Oh…he already has one there courtesy of Uncle Joe and the deep pocketed taxpayers.

Put on some REO Speedwagon while you are “Riding the Storm Out”.

Stay frosty DM. Hope this one fizzles enough to keep you high and dry for the duration.

Yeah… always fun these storms. At least I’m not on the coast any more and no longer in an evacuation area. Ian was a foot from flooding us out last year. We were in a shelter but it was truly upsetting to see how close it came to nearly flooding our home. I have a couple of things to bring inside this AM before going to work and must remember to power down the shutters.
To everyone in the state, always be prudent. I know had we not evacuated for Ian and had it come up any higher, we would have been unable to as the street we were on was under 2 feet of water. I had friends that decided to ride it out… in their home on Ft. Myers Beach. They had to be rescued by the National Guard when the house next door came off it’s foundations and took out theirs as they huddled on the the second floor.
