This is it folks. It is raining now, but not bad and there is wind but not bad. At noon EST the winds are to pick up — that is an hour from now. At 4 p.m. we will start feeling the wind from Irma and it will continue until 4 p.m. Monday. 24 hours. The actual Irma is to be felt around 2 a.m. After she leaves comes the storm surges. I plan to go to my safe room about 8 p.m. or sooner if I do not feel secure roaming around the house. As I speak, Irma’s winds are at 125 mph. Depending on where she hits land and when will depend on how or low my winds will become. I am not by water, not in an evacuation zone, so the only water I am going to get is from the rain — and that is suppose to be 12 inches before and during Irma. I think, I think I heard there will be another 12 inches after Irma.
I am as ready as I can be. I do not plan to come out of my safe room until Monday a.m. to access any damage. Hope and pray not, please. And if so, not that it will damage the inside of my house.
It would be wonderful if I did not lose power, but I doubt that hope. If I do have power I will write, and if I can on Monday, I will take some pictures without going out into the streets.
Also, after Irma starts, I am going to go to FB every hour and say I am safe. If I miss an hour, I hope I am taking a nap, but I have been told I will not be able to nap.
Now, I am turning off my computer and unplugging it. Say a prayer.
Until next time…have a great day…
