I wonder if they will retire Helene and Milton after this?

Looks like landfall is getting delayed. Dont know if thats good or bad. Hope it means its slowing and weakening. At least it gives everyone a little extra time to get out of Dodge. Sending good thoughts.

I've already heard talk that Helene will be retired. Guess we'll have to wait and see how bad Milton turns out to be.

Una, the storm being delayed is why I haven't left home yet. I'm still getting out of Dodge, but waiting until tomorrow morning.

Gabby works great! I called vet's office before the start of hurricane season to see if I could get some ahead of time. I didn't want to have to run to her office during the madness of prepping to evacuate. Wonderful vet that she is she let me buy some. She said she knew I would not misuse it.

Although the storm will be weaker the spaghetti models show the eye could Ming right through where I am unless it shifts further south.

Lizard lady. Thank you. You are probably on your way or at where you were going if you managed to avoid all of the congestion. I have to admit the anxiety really notched up for me yesterday. Am taking more seroquel to keep it at a bearable level. I wish it was all over and yes, I wish it would go away. Hope everything works out well for you.

So good to hear that you and your furbabies will be going some place else.

It was about noon when I left yesterday. Some of the drive was a little spooky due to wind. Hazel, cats and I got here safe.

One of my neighbors, who evacuated ahead of me texted to tell me there was a tornado in the area around our houses. Talk about feeling helpless!

Milton was headed straight for my place, but made a small jog south of me. Same neighbor who told me about the tornado called me this afternoon. They'd gone check their property and looked my place over too. House and barn were okay. A huge tree branch fell on my storage shed and flattened it. I'll sort that out when I get home.

Power is out in most of my county. No idea when it will come back on. I'm staying with my friend until Saturday. We are cleaning up storm debris here. I know my house is okay. Have no interest in returning to a house with no power or water. Am exhausted by the stress and clean up here. I am grateful my house is okay. There are lots of folks who lost everything.

Thank you to everyone for your support.

So glad your house is ok. A storage shed is a loss but a bearable one. Hope you get power soon.

That's how I feel too Nammu. The shed can be replaced. It was full of tools, stuff meant for donation and my tractor. Neighbor said the tractor is okay. There wasn't anything of sentimental value in it.

I so grateful that the house and its contents are intact. Limited space in the truck limited what I could take with me. Hazel, the cats and I plus some clothes and my meds filled the cab to bursting. I would have lost all the stuff with emotional value.

Not to sound like a pessimist, but I have low hopes of the power coming on any time soon based on experience. Most of my county is without power. Areas with more population get priority. Heck,, there we're 3 MILLION people without power. Those of us in the boonies know we are going to be last.

I am staying with my friend until Saturday. Now that I know my house is okay the pressure to go check on it is gone. He can use my help with clean up here.

Staying an extra day also mean an extra day with electricity and water. Anticipating the power might be out for awhile I checked on line last night. There are a few, very few, hotel rooms available. I'll get a room for a few days if the power stays out.

I said this before and will keep saying it. I am so grateful to have gotten through with so little damage. So many others lost everything, including their lives. Impact on me seems so minimal in comparison.

Once more, thank you to everyone for your support.
