I'm about 3hrs. up the coast from you and have had 2 days of hard labor securing our place. I'm near the Space Center and live far enough inland that I don't think a storm surge will flood us. I'm a Miami native and moved north in '05. Seen some hurricanes in 66yrs. and I agree, this one is pretty ominious. My shop is an old pole barn/horse barn that I poured a floor in and enclosed. I put covers on my trucks and removed loose stuff from the overhead. We have an old frame house with BIG OLD oak trees overhanging it. Love the shade but they're not as appealing right now. We're not going to risk getting squashed and are leaving as soon as we determine which way to go to get away from the storm. Don't want to go too far but don't want to weather the storm in an 18' travel trailer either. Have options with kinfolks and friends in a variety of directions. We lost a few trees in Hurricane Matthew last November but luckily dodged a direct hit here. Best of luck to you down yonder and everyone else affected by this thing. STAY SAFE!!, there's more old trucks around. I drove my '71 to breakfast this morning and surely hope it's in the same shape next Wednesday.
