This is the one thing I really hate about living in Florida. I'm thankfully I live in the middle of the state at least, it usually slows down some by the time it gets my way. But you can never trust them or where or what they will do, so be pepaired.

I know one year, the news said the hurricane had changed course and was going into the gulf. So we when ahead with our plans to go down the peace river, camping. As we are flotting down the river in the middle of no where, the radio says it's didn't move and it was coming our way. No time to paddle back to the cars, so we pulled up as high as we could onto dry land, set up camp and sat through the hurricane in the woods. The next morning, the boats, that where on dry land, where now in the river and we where camped in water.

After that, I don't count on anything they say 100%, I make sure I'm ready for anything. I'm sure that the power will go out, ours goes out for everything, thats the only thing I can count on.

I just worry more about the pets right now more then anything. It's not like we can move chickens, ducks, the goose, goats etc in the house with us. So fingers crossed it's not that bad.

Try to fine the bright side of everything...........Mmmm???..... At least it's not a catagory 5. Just stay inside, hug you pups, and try not to worry to much, it will be over shortly and hopefully the worce you'll have to put up with is picking up branches in your yard.
