It's a about 11:40 a.m. as I write this, sitting in my friends' home in Seffner, Florida. I've been watching the updates via my laptop. If the shift north holds, We don't know if it will make much of a difference. Also don't know yet when we are likely to lose power. We're hoping Irma loses a lot of strength soon, but aren't banking on it.
My friends have two generators, so if power isn't restored soon after Irma passes, we can put those into use. I expect their house to be fairly safe since the windows have been boarded up and they are on high ground... they also have a fairly new roof.
More later, hopefully....
