Fingers crossed for all there on the east coast of Fl.
It being so far out yet makes for pretty broad possible landfall location at this point in time.

After our very close brush with Michael last year I tend to take these storms more seriously than ever.
My Brother and I just made reservations in central Ala. at our favorite lakeside evacucation spot for the middle of next week. We both live in our airstreams, so packing up and moving is the safest bet for us.
This may seem early for reservations, but much later and all will be booked up.

Dan those are some great looking shutters, sure simplifies getting closed up for the weather. I have other friends in Viera , got to check with them to see what they are planning.

Seeing the utter catastrophic distruction that Michael inflicted on such a wide area last year does reinforce the evacuation choice for me.
But it is different circumstances for each of us.

These long range forecasts are a mixed blessing. Affording the oppertinity to plan well in advance for what may eventuate. For most in Fla.it will be some wind and lots of rain. For an unlucky few it could bring much more.

I'm hoping the best for all in the path of this storm.
