As ready as we will ever be

Generator works - some spray brake cleaner through the carburetor did the trick.  Thanks to everyone who left a comment - useful info.

We have lots of water and food, batteries, and everything.  All in all we're bedded in tighter than a tick on a dog.

But this looks like a big one, and the eye of a CAT 4 hurricane will pass within 20 miles.  Weather Underground says it should pass late today.  Good luck to the Florida bloggers.

And Wolfgang doesn't want to go out to do his business when the wind is blowing the rain horizontally.  I expect he'll reconsider once his eyes start to cross.

    Good luck to you. Daughter and 3 dogs with my wife, me and 2 dogs SE of Tampa. Youngest son and dog hunkering down in Orlando. Oldest son in NM, 90 miles from El Paso, Texas. He should be safe from wind and rain.

    Praying for all.

    Maybe cat litter or some such for the dog next time. He probably doesn't want to get blown away.

    God watch over you all and bless you.

    Hang in there. I'm now supposed to get the center 6.8 miles away, so I'm glad your generator is up and running. I may end up needing it here! Of course I'd be happy with even more track change!

    My dog does that when the rain is heavy. Just trots to the door, looks at the water pouring down, says, Nope, and walks away.
