Guys,

So many of you that I've had good conversations with live in the reach of this hurricane. I hope all of you and your families have heeded the warnings and have made it to a safe place. Looks like odds are it will hit at a Cat 5 level, so be safe!

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you guys... Hunker down!

Thanks Craig. . .most of us in my sub are staying. No mandatory evacuation has been issued but we're on standby. Everyone is uneasy and some are scared. I've done my preparations. I'm more worried about my son, his wife and my two grandsons on the east side, Port St. Lucie and it seems it will hit there harder. They already issued a mandatory evacuation in his zone but he's thinking of staying. I've beg him to leave but he doesn't want to leave his house and his business(store). But he'll decide tonight if he's going to leave. . .highways are jam packed. Thank you for your thoughts of concern. . .
