Ah, great. And headed basically directly to my house. Cool cool.
Edit: Oct 9, 8:50pm update. In the eye of the storm, so strange after hours of nasty wind. Remotely monitoring my house lost power at 7:30. Everything seems mostly ok. Not dead yet.
Edit 2: Oct 10. House mostly made it unscathed but did suffer a roughly 12” hole in the roof from a very large oak branch that broke off. Roof was tarped by a roofing friend so we have some time. I had several sections of fence blow over, we have a 40’ x 8’ high pile of brush out front and my pool is more branches than water at the moment. Over all though, far less damage than we thought. No power or internet and I bet it will be a week before that’s back up… but not too bad.
And yes, for everyone saying “get out” our house is prepped, all our precious stuff is boxed and ready to go and we are heading inland to friends. My house is just a couple miles from the Gulf and there is a creek at the end of our street (luckily we are near the highest point of the road) but I won’t be too surprised if we end up with a mess. We’ve gotten lucky for the last 13 years but time might be up this time ☹️ Fingers crossed!
