Depends on where she decides to cross the state and whether it’s a hurricane or not. Right now, it’s looking like the big bend area will take the brunt, which would be close enough, but if it turns sooner, I want to be ready. I swore after the eye of Irma went directly over us, that I would not stay here if another one was making a direct hit. It was terrifying.
Yeah, it's way too early to tell where it will end up, but the more recent models are looking better for us.
I am off Hwy 27, between Clermont and Davenport, so west of Disney. The hilly part of central Florida, which is how we got a basement. That’s where I hide during storms. Irma basically came right up 27, and the eye went right over our neighborhood. The worst storms are usually on the east side of a hurricane, so it will be a rough day or two for us even if Elsa turns inland farther north. But I keep remembering Charlie, and how he was supposed to turn in at Tampa but turned much farther south instead, so I am watching carefully. We probably won’t know until late Sunday where it’s headed.
Keep an eye on the weather. We're "in the cone."Fireworks cruise
We will cruise to the Gulf of Mexico, stop on the Anclote Island for some shelling and strolling, watch a breathtaking sunset and then watch the City of Tarpon Springs fireworks show. As always, we will look for the dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles during the cruise.
Yes.
