Good luck and hang in there John.

[John&LaLa]

Thanks everyone. Wind is just in the 60 mph range as far as I can tell. Raised east shutters once the wind turned.

 

 

This is what we woke up to

 

 

This is fairly current

 

 

power is flickering, cable goes in and out, cell phone does goes in and out and seem to have 2G signal

 

I feel for Bella, she probably needs to pee :eek:

[setsail]

Wow, still posting. And, I am surprised the beach is not covered over with surf. Stay safe

[champagne123]

No WEE WEE pads???

[John&LaLa]

No WEE WEE pads???

She doesn't like them anyway. Balcony way to noisy. Clinging to mommy.

 

 

Beach is holding up

Poor bella! What a good girl!

 

Glad all is ok so far.

Is the wind going offshore already?

 

Which means the eye has passed?

 

That would be good.

I see you are still on line, how are you and what is the update? TV news is scary. Be safe!!

 

So far, we still have power, water and internet. The cars are okay. Many areas of Orlando are out of power. We have at least two more hours of an active hurricane. I will update later.

 

We have 10 gallons of water just in case, plus a giant pork shoulder to cook on the smoker, eggs, bacon, coffee, food for our pets, gas, and flashlights.

 

Stay safe everyone and God Bless.

Looking at my live radar app- it appears that the "outer eye" wall is what is skirting the coastline- the inner, higher speed wind, eye- is staying off shore.

 

Which is good.

 

Still have to deal with storm surge.

 

(and for John&LaLa- they are past the peak surge, whew)

There was one on the beach yesterday, it's gone. :eek:

Never mind, it's still there, I think. ;)

Wind and rain picking up...the worst is yet to come.. We stayed home. Have all the supplies we need.

darned chair hogs. You'd think they would give up their spot during a hurricane.

I do feel for those of you up north, but thankfully Palm Beach county dodged another bullet at least for now. Who knows what might come next.

 

I don't think we had a wind gust over 40 mph, but we live 6 miles inland at Boca Raton.

 

Best to all of you still in the path.

 

Okay, but now on to putting the outside of the house stuff back in place. Anyone need 20 pounds of ice? Eh, I'll just keep it in the freezer.

 

Stay safe up there. :)

Lou,

 

Better save your ice, they are predicting Matthew will turn around and come back to So. FL. I had that happen to me when I lived in Miami and DH got hit 3 times by same hurricane in 1985 in NOLA when he was maintenance manager for Eastern.

 

Safe wishes your way

John,

 

How long do you think it will take you to rake that sand back in place? Got to clean up that beach and dig that chair out. lol

Nah, Grace, it just stays in the garage freezer. If Matt comes back it will be a tropical storm. It will be what it will be.

 

Eastern Airlines; cool. A pilot for 41 years here.

 

Safe wishes your way also. :)

They are forecasting 7-11 ft surge from Melbourne all the way to South Carolina.

 

We have a house on the barrier island, Edisto Beach, South Carolina, 20 minutes or so from Charleston. Praying there will be something left for us to go back to.. :(
