It's a four!
That could change as it closes in. Even a three is terrifying.
We should be grateful that it's not a sit 'n' spin. Then it might have had time to build to a Five in the unseasonably warm waters of the Gulf.
Never mind. It's always unseasonably warm now. So I guess unseasonable would be wrong to say.
I saw Mayor Andrew Gillum of Tallahassee on TV. His demeanor and solid information made me think he was already Governor. We can only hope. Meanwhile, Rick "Climate change? What climate change? Medicare Fraud Champeen and Red Tide Bringer" Scott continues to bluster and mentally calculate how he and his buddies can make money off disaster.
Am I in the path of the storm? Sort of. Probably a brushing from a tropical storm as it moves inland. We could lose some tree limbs. We could lose power. We'll just have to see how it twists and turns.
Thoughts and prayers to all in its path.
Update: We are fine. There were/are some power outages near us, but so far, we have escaped that. We've lost a few oak tree limbs, but overall we've not had an extraordinary amount of yard debris.
The Panhandle did not fare well. The hurricane came within a couple MPH of being a Category Five. There is extensive damage and it remained at Hurricane strength into Georgia. It was fast moving, which helped mitigate flood damage.
