To RFers in Florida

[Debater Slayer]

I've just read about storm Idalia, which is expected to make landfall in Florida tomorrow as a hurricane:

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Idalia closed in on Florida's Gulf Coast on Tuesday after skirting past Cuba, headed for a U.S. landfall as a powerful Category 3 storm, prompting authorities to order evacuations of vulnerable shoreline areas.

Idalia was expected to attain major-hurricane status - with sustained winds topping at least 111 miles per hour (179 kph) - on Wednesday morning before slamming ashore later in the day, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The NHC's latest storm track projections showed Idalia's center likely to cross Florida's coastline somewhere in the Big Bend region, where the state's northern panhandle curves around into the Gulf side of the Florida Peninsula.

The storm's gathering force and the uncertainty of its path as it spun northward over the warm, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico put some 14 million Florida residents under hurricane and tropical storm warnings.

I don't know where Dancer lives... but I am in a safe zone since it is on the west side.

Take care anyway, my friend.

Quite a few in my family were going there tomorrow through the weekend but had to cancel.

Thanks! We will probably get a little wind and rain but it shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for your concern!

Got some rain last night, 25 mph winds this afternoon. Still a bit windy but that's pretty much it. I hope others fared that well.
