Default Re: Hurricane ready ????

GM,
Our hopes and prayers are for Irma to make an unpredicted turn west into the Gulf and not make a landfall. Ten years ago a hurricane was coming up the west coast and predicted to come into the Tampa area and it made a sharp turn into Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda. Tampa was spared but you folks in Punta Gorda took a heavy hit. I visited the area a month after and most buildings had a blue tarp for a roof. Skip's shop lost part of the roof. We have a winter home just north of Tampa and the shore is just across the road so right now it looks like it will be gone.
God Bless the folks still there.
John
