Irma

[Scout]

I just want to send prayers and hope everyone in Irma's path stays safe. I have many family members in FL, GA and AL. Been watching Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel. He's THE man. Pray that Jose piddles out but doesn't look that way.

Thanks Scout! We have family in Port Charlotte, Fla. they stayed to "ride it out" last report from them, things not to bad. Hoping all is safe with your family.

Thanks! I'm in Minneola. We should be getting whacked here in the next hour. So far the house is handling it, but the wind is starting to creep me out. The FJ is in the garage pushed up against the door, and my patrol car blocking wind parked across the driveway. At this point I'm just hoping my fence doesn't come through the back sliding windows. I guess we'll find out in a couple hours...I will say, being an "overlander" has its perks. My truck is ready to handle all the nastiness this storm will produce on the roads, and I have everything I might need to survive a couple weeks off grid if need be, and that was before I bought a bunch of extra food, a gas siphon and a chainsaw.
