Leading up to Hurricane Irma--weather Report




I've been getting a lot of emails and PMs so what I think I will do is take a picture every day at 6 PM to show you what's going on and then bring you up to date. (Might even try a video IF it hits!)



So far today has been a beautiful day with plenty of sun, no rain.



Was able to get gas without a problem, did my usual Thursday going to Dollar Tree, Winn Dixie--all were not a problem--not crowded--had what I needed.



Anthony and I had lunch at Gilbert's then Allen wanted his car out by his place as he is afraid it will get flooded if parked here so we drove it out there.



No movie tomorrow as all theatres in my area are closed due to evacuation.



No I won't be evacuating--this has been my 6th hurricane--I know how furious and dangerous they can be but I will be pretty safe as far I can be.



IF Irma hits we will lose power which means no computer, Internet, phone (can't charge a cell phone) television, etc. I may have to read a book--first by sunlight then by candlelight (though we aren't allowed to light candles in our apartments.



I have plenty of food (naturally) plus I bought myself a hurricane treat--see the picture--a Kitchen Sink Cookie which I will eat if/when Hurricane Irma lands.

Has anyone heard from Teal? Now it appears the Gulf side is in major trouble, instead. This is awful.

Right now Key West is starting to get the heavy rains and wind--we just started getting rain drops and a light wind

I wondered what that mess in the photo is. I'm sure it's very tasty, looks like a half a box of candy on top of a cookie. Come Monday, I don't want to be reading how Karen Point was the hardest hit of the whole of Florida. If you have a copy of John D. MacDonald's "Condominium" that would suit the theme of the weekend.

It has chocolate covered pretzels, caramels, marshmallows, chocolates, etc., on it!!!
I have an 800-page book "American History" by Larry Kramer that I will finally get around to read!!

Hey, do your friends here a favor and try to update us several times each day, during the next couple of days. You are right there in the path and although I asked the powers of nature to leave you safe, that's one big storm...

If I don't post it just means we lost electric power!
