Ian looks like it can make it to Cat5 with just a little push.
The 8am update said sustained winds at 155 mph and 156 is the final category.
I've been reading a thread with people in great distress over their loved ones refusal to get out before the storm.
Hurricanes can be some serious shit.
I also read that every category 5 landfall recorded in the US has been in Florida.
We're speshul.
Right now we're on the northern fringes and not getting much of anything.
Fingers crossed.
I grew up in Sarasota and lived in the Englewood - Port Charlotte area for a long time. It looks like the storm is going to hit my old home. I still have friends and family there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the big one we've been expecting for years is finally here.
Best of luck. Hope you make it through unscathed.

I hope you and our other Florida blog writer friends come out of this in one piece. Amazing what Mother Nature can do when it gets motivated.
