At about 5:45am, we had a true taste of Irma's power. With the storm moving northwest along Cuba, we caught one of the last bands.
For 15 minutes we had heavy rains and wild winds, our animals were running around the house trying to figure out what was happening. But as fast as it started, it stopped and the sky lightened up as the sun rose.
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.
