Hurricane season 2023 - here we go again

lizardlady · Aug 28, 2023 at 10:16 AM

Weather service just issued hurricane warning for the area. Starting to consider evacuating. Track still supposed to be north of me. If it stays north I will ride it out at home. If it starts turning south I'm out of here.

Oo that sounds stressful.

lizardlady · Aug 28, 2023 at 11:41 AM

Thanks Nammu. It is.

eskielover · Aug 28, 2023 at 11:45 AM

Do what is safe for you

lizardlady · Aug 28, 2023 at 04:24 PM

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.

lizardlady · Aug 28, 2023 at 08:30 PM

Nammu, that's a pretty good description of hurricane season.

Just letting you know I am thinking about you & praying you & all your fur babies are safe

Nammu · Aug 30, 2023 at 10:36 AM

Yes, I’m thinking of you too.

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.

lizardlady · Aug 30, 2023 at 11:13 AM

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

lizardlady · Aug 30, 2023 at 11:14 AM

Sophia, so glad you are okay.

unaluna · Aug 30, 2023 at 11:38 AM

Been thinking about our florida friends.

Nammu · Aug 30, 2023 at 04:11 PM

Oh, I’m glad to hear that the worse of it spared you.

lizardlady · Aug 30, 2023 at 07:37 PM

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.
