Steve,

Come on down and take it for a ride. Now that it has the blower, don't expect it to come back down to earth if you get the wheels off of the ground - parking lot attendant style!!!

Here is the radar loop:

Looks like the north eye wall will go right over my house in about 1.5 hours. Sebastian's house is only a couple of miles away away. Good thing it is only a Cat 1 hurricane.

Checkin in. No problems where I am. One recently planted tree down in the back yard. That's it.

Looks like Miami Dade got it worse with more flooding and more wind damage.

Looks like it will be a nice day! Thanks for the best wishes!

We made it as well, the GT was safe in the garage. Lost power throughout the night and spend the morning fetching a generator and getting the most neeeded electrical devices up and running...
I don't know how anyone would have ever lived here without AC?
cheers,
Sebastian.

To put this in perspective, my 11 month old daughter will be going through her third hurricane if this one hits us!
