Hurricane Isaias...
It's a reality that hurricane Isaias currently over Bahamas will be headed for Florida.Yesterday was sunny and bright and today the weather has deteriorated and expected to get worse as the day goes on.
Projections are that Isaias with 85 mph winds will skirt the east coast of Florida early Sunday morning. At the time of writing this blog the path is the eyewall of the storm will be less than 50 miles offshore with it's closest point just north of the city of West Palm Beach... where you can find Mar-a-Lago, home of president Trump.
With all forecasts there is lots of room for error and a degree or two toward the west has Isaias striking Florida around Boca Raton to Palm Beach. The best part about hurricanes, due to temperature changes are often the weakest in that time.

Move to higher grounds and be safe.
I've never stayed in a public shelter either Chat, mostly because I've always had animals. I have however packed up my tribe, animals and all (except the horse) and outrun the hurricane. I've bounced between Tampa and Orlando to ride them out. A few times we ran into it.
The year of our 4 hurricane hit when Charlie was supposed to hit Tampa, we stayed in Orlando but Charlie came to us instead and turned our town upside down. I only lost a wooden fence but getting to my office was totally obstructed and no electricity for two weeks each for three of those hurricanes.
August & September has been our most notorious months. This is the price we pay so we get to live in paradise when winter ravishes the north. I'll take it.
