Stay safe. Looks like a lot of destruction will happen. I notice one post where a guy put ratchet type straps across the inside of his garage doors and it kept the doors from blowing into his cars. The took damage but stayed in place.

A friend of mine down there, that is in the path of the storm, called and said I need to get my brother to park his big truck in front of the roll-up doors. He has been through these storms and says that the truck would stop the wind from buckling the doors. Makes sense to me.

Not feeling the effects here yet, tomorrow morning around 11 is when the rain is supposed to start.

I've been trying to track the storm on-line. What County are you in? My Brother says it's been raining pretty good up there in Citrus County all day.

Man, I sure hope it misses you! If you do get hit, I hope for the best for you.

Im still here...Power is finaly back on.
IRMA did a little jog to the east just before it hit charlotte county.
I lost a few screens from the pool cage and lots of yard trash all over
but its all good.
Street had perhaps 12in water at one time but drained by morning.
The wind sound at midnight was like an express train on the roof...very scary.
THE CHEVELLE IS FINE
atb mick.

Glad you came through it alright. That's all that was on the TV as it went up through Naples, Fort Meyers, etc. Pretty nasty stuff. I'll trade a hurricane for some snow in the winter. Michigan is looking better all the time. No floods, no droughts, no hurricanes, no major fires like out west.

We have the worst air quality in the nation. Smoke from the Eagle Creek fire is blowing in. Now at about 45,000 acres. Rain finally coming late tomorrow and staying most of the week. It should help put the some of the fire out, but not excepted to completely be out until the snow comes. We are expecting about 2 inches in the next week. Hopefully we won't have mud slides now.

Hot, humid, still no power. Lost power last Sunday just before 10 PM. No damage other than a few screens on the pool enclosure.
