Will do Eskie.
At this point any minor change in the track has a large impact on where it makes landfall. Current plan is to hunker down here at home, but might gather what I need if I decide to evacuate just in case. This is gonna sound weird, but it's like I burned up all my anxiety. I feel like I'm prepped and ready so not nervous. LOL at myself. We'll see how long the calm lasts! |

It’s hurry up and wait for the unknown. A storm is coming, but exactly where and how bad is up in the air.

Hi,
I am on the coast north of Tampa Bay. Last night was so nerve wracking as Idalia passed to the west. But the wind and rain bands weren't too bad where I am at. We have some flooding and storm surge near the water. I am so glad considering I live in a manufactured home. I took some risk staying but it was fine. Hard for me as a bipolar to deal with this sometimes. We all get triggered by stuff and this is one of my major triggers. I am slowly getting better. ![]() |

Thanks everyone.
Landfall was way north of me. We have lots of rain, wind and watches/warnings. Can't see any damage here at the farm, but rain is keeping me from seeing much. Am not willing to go outside until the feeder bands finish going by. This morning a friend texted me to say they got "a whole lot of nothing". I told her that's a good thing. I'll take "nothing" over what could have been any day. Horses seem okay from what I can see. They are both huddled in the aisle of the barn. Cats are treating today like any normal day. They are all sleeping. Hazel kept waking me during the night. Not sure what that was about, maybe changing barometric pressure? Maybe the wind? Don't know. She's sacked out sleeping right now. I'll update after I get a chance to go outside and check things |

Finally got a chance to go outside around 4:30. Horses are cranky, but physically okay. Only walked around the yard. The only "damage" I saw was a tree branch damaged by Ian last year gave up the ghost and came down. I'll check the rest of the property tomorrow.
Thanks for all the good thoughts folks. |

This is the peak of the season. There's a Cat 4 storm in the Atlantic, soon to be a Cat 5. Initially forecasters were saying no landfall from it. Now they say they don'tknow if it will hit the States or not.
I never put most of the stuff back outside after the last one. At least if I heads this way I won't have much prep to do. Right now I don't have energy to spare to get worked up about this one. Strain of dealing with canine emergency this week has me worn out. There's a whole thread about that in pets. |

Hurricane season ended. My area was fortunate and dodged anything major. The poor folks in the big bend area got hammered. While I'm grateful my area was safe, I feel badly for the people who got hit.

I watched that storm closley as I have friends still in the areas it was supposed to hit. Actually where I used to live got the most rain from it. I was praying it wouldn't be bad. Never in all my life years there did we have anything like that

This is ridiculous. Last month we had a once in 750 year storm n my apartment leaked. I duct taped it to the point it stopped leaking n never removed the duct tape.
Now we are having another major storm. I felt sure the duct tape would be enough. Haha! My apartment is leaking from the other side of the duct tape. Just moved my living room furniture. Am exhausted. Laid towels down. Too tired to add more duct tape at the moment. Hurricane season is over. I have been dealing w so many other issues now this. And I can't go to sleep until it is taped enough to stop the leaking since the storm is supposed to continue until the morning. I am on oxygen at night and my concentrator is also in the living room. It is too loud for me to use it in the bedroom. So I have to be able to stop the leaking! |

Just can't deal w anymore. Can't tape more. So far leaving the towels has been ok. Probably won't sleep tonight.
Have to pray that what was already taped plus towels plus for storm to lessen n that it will be ok. |

Duct tape does not stop the damage that is going on begind it to the walls /ceiling. Report the leaking & damage to the apartment owner/manager. Not reporting it causes more damage to the building that needs to be repaired. Duct tape is like putting a bandaid on a spot of cancer. It just covers up the REAL problem that just keeps getting worse & worse unless repaired at the source of the problem

I have reported it. They saw it the last time. Never fixed it.
It's the weekend. Have to wait until Monday to report it again. This time going to go to management also, after filing maintenance request, to find out why nothing has been done. |
