It has been calm for the last hour, but we may be getting another glance until the northern turn begins. Overall, an interesting wake up alarm this morning.
At about 8:45am EST, we are just getting the first taste of the feeder bands from hurricane Irma that has not even made it to Key West yet. Luckily for us, the landfall seems to now be on the western side of Florida but even then,
we are expected to see CAT 1 or 2 winds and rains.

I am hobbling around the house and I KNOW what is happening. As fast as it started, it has only started and the sun will not truly rise until Monday morning.

I am shutting off the computer, power and sand-bagging my door.

Can't wait for next month in Jamaica.

Peace and Guidance
