if it helps anyone I am northeast of Atlanta and have a couple extra bedrooms. I know a lot of you are headed into Georgia and there are probably no rooms left anywhere so if you are coming near here and cant find a place I can put up a couple folks.

Please keep an eye on the news, with storm suspected to move a little west (Hurricane's are most powerful on NE side of them), and the storm surge hitting near high tide for many southern areas, they are now expecting a little higher surges that they though previously. Remember, surges don't account for wave height.

The ****storm will be if our barn or one of our huge palms come apart and take out part of the house. All 7 dogs will be crated in the family room with us. We can run for cover but they will be stuck. Other than that we will see how it turns out. If we are without power and it looks bad we will secure the house and go away for a week or two.

The blue dot is approximate location of our house.

Hope to talk to everyone on the other side. To all my FL peeps riding it out with us, Prayers to you and your families.
Buddy. If you get into serious trouble, make sure your phone is good. I can get you into a warehouse and all the pups in Pompano. All concrete structure and ok for 140+ MPH wind. Not a Hilton but it's safe and big. JIC. (904) 600-6915 You might wanna bring sleeping bags thought.

God dammit ! Gonna reach Cat5 by the time it hits the shore and I'm sorry to break the news, as I have 3 sets of family in FMB (including my mom!) and Naples, plus a bunch of friends, + a ton of people I know...some reason most everyone from here buys winter places in that area..well I know why, it is beautiful, but that particular corner of FL...uncanny.

Anyway - they are now predicting the eye to go right up thru The Keys,MarcoIsland, Naples, FMB, Fort Meyers, and I'm assuming Cape Coral where a lot of OSO members are. The whole damn west coast. They eye is almost 45 miles wide.So, even those on the east aren't safe.

Be safe Omerta One ! Be safe everyone.......fuk,fuk, fuk ! Excuse the french.

Sorry for the selfish rant above. All of those very close to me are up here. So no worries of the people themselves.

I pray for all of you that may be stuck there for whatever reason.

so very little we can do for you all southerners, from our north location... but it makes me feel better with the cold we live in and not having those bad azz wind... have a house in boynton beach but I'm not there... I hope it will survive but that is nothing compared to the ones staying there trying to hold on thru this mess...

hide yourself and be safe!
