Saturday, September 9, 2017

The rain began at 3:30 a.m. with the first rain band from Irma. Since the eye wall track has shifted toward Florida's west coastline our wind field will be from every direction. Hmmm ... 


Mark and I rolled the boat canvas into it's zippered (towing) covers. While we were busy at the boathouse we noticed our next door neighbor hadn't done a thing to prep his property. We may acquire a few things we don't care to have. 

This FB post was last evening with folks still evacuating Florida. Many vehicles have been abandoned, out of fuel. (Where are those people?)



Sue and Wayne are starting for home and crossing the border today.  They plan to stay in Grand Forks tonight. Strange coincidence but Wayne sister Marlene is in Grand Forks today. They plan to have dinner with her tonight.


Flying BeeZee ... and there's no wind yet. 😂

Sue and Wayne arrived in Grand Forks about 5 o'clock. They met with Marlene and Harry for dinner!

Sue, Marlene & Harry 

Mark cooked shrimp on the Pizzaz for our dinner tonight. Yum! Afterward we sat on the front porch for an hour sipping wine and watching a neighbor "work." Fun. We heard a few "booms" around and decided to head inside. Tonight, around midnight thunderstorms will begin ... then by noon tomorrow will be tornadoes. We will be under a TOR-CON 6 which means you have a 6/10 chance of seeing a tornado within 50 miles of your location. (Hurricanes are predictable whereas tornadoes are sneaky.) 

We will be charging our phones and turning them off tonight. We'll check in on the blog here when we have cell service. No sweat 💦 

Ta Ta til tomorrow.

  1. Can you tell me why in the world would Wayne and Sue be heading to Florida at this time?
