Nice!
Michael is bolting up the coast line. It beat the cold front. If the storm was slower, the front would have pushed it over the center of Fl. We are in a Tornado watch mode until tonight.
YOU ARE IN THE PATH!
Irma got us bad too. We took what we learned and used it to get ready now. Just now getting the outer bands. Lights have started to flicker. We're as ready as we'll ever be. The worst will hit in a few hours.Michael is bolting up the coast line. It beat the cold front. If the storm was slower, the front would have pushed it over the center of Fl.

YOU ARE IN THE PATH! Please listen to the weather warnings.
Irma whacked us bad. This is what adds "insult to injury", so add these to your prep list please.
Just please take care! Watch out for those PINE TREES!
- 30 weight oil for your generator. No matter how new your unit is it can consume oil and burn up from constant use.
- You can never have enough gas. We lost power for 7 days. OMG- the generator powering or freezers drank enough to fill a tanker. Plus gas stations will need power to pump & SELL OUT FAST-& mile long lines only to get your turn & find yellow bags over the pump nozzles.
- water for livestock!
- move your cars away from trees! Tall Georgia Pines are like dominoes.
- Have rations for at least 4-5 days. We live rural, all exits of our area had collapsed trees and power poles blocking us in. You might be trapped like we were.
- Cell Towers go down. Find a landline telephone that doesn't need power. Cordless landlines need power to operate the base. A retro style "plug in & spiral cord" phone is priceless during a disaster. MOST phone utilities are under ground these days. Service is more reliable than cellular.
- Propane or charcoal grill ready to go. Flash lights/candles, batter powered weather radio.
BE Prepared...

Only damage from Michael is a fence/ pen got ripped open and our residence side of the farm turned into a sea of chickens. I'll post pics later. feeding right now.Irma got us bad too.

So is blurry bc my little one didn't want his food to have a picture. We're having ham, peas, cream corn, cheesy shells, and a biscuit. Made greens, but the babies didn't want any. Keeping the kids distracted from the weather. Probably going to all camp in the living room and watch movies.
