This post is really early as dear Irma is going to disrupt our lives.
We have mostly prepared our space for the storm and are heading off to Dar's spare room in downtown St. Petersburg.
I have had spells of energy and spells of tiredness as I undertook the various chores that needed to be done, but we are mostly there now.
We also had several calls of concern about our safety. Thanks so much.
I blame myself for the track of the hurricane.
In 2004, Hurricane Charley threatened Tampa and I vacated to Orlando. The storm changed direction and headed to Orlando.
Hurricane Gaston then was headed for Florida. I headed to Atlanta and met the storm on the way back.
I made a deal with then governor Bush that I would leave the state whenever a hurricane threatened the Florida.
Shortly after that, Hurricane Ivan threatened Florida and so I dutifully left for Tunica and sure enough the storm turned west.
My deal was not renewed and since I am dealing with other issues, it never entered my mind to vacate the state and as a result, Hurricane Irma is heading toward Tampa Bay.
I am so sorry, folks.
I will post when I am able, but the next few days may be iffy.
