Reporting live from Englewood FL & Irma.

Thanks Travis, so we are sitting here watching TV and decided to see if the helmets fit right. Now we are sitting next to each other, looking at each other, not a word is spoken, but I can tell in her eyes, she wants me to stage first. I go in, she follows, we start making motor sounds, the dogs come in and freak out. We take the helmets off in fear of being attacked.
It's starting to rain a little harder and the wind has picked up. Weather guy can't figure where it is going. A little east, then a little west. Originally they predicted from Maine to Mexico, I guess they are narrowing it down when it's right on top of you.

Power going off and on several times, wind has picked up, but not real bad. Still a medium rain. We have bamboo around the property and it seems to cut the wind down dramatically. Just took a wind reading and it is at 12-15 mph. Probably about 35-38 in the open road.
Anyone on here want to send me their phone number in the event the power goes off, I can keep them updated so they can post here on ClassRacer.

Getting hit by the big bands of rain & wind now, should stay this way for the next couple of hours. Looking at the top of the pine trees, they are whipping around, not violent yet though. can't get a wind reading over 20 mph due to the bamboo filtering the wind. I'd say that in the open area it is probably 40-50 mph gusts. The wagon is intact so far.
Depending which way this thing goes will determine the amount of water that will come back in. This thing looks like a monster from the satellite views.

TV is showing Naples getting it hard. It's coming your way. Good luck.

We're in Vero Beach, the northeast corner of the storm, they call it the dirty side and it's living up to it's reputation. I have a palm tree that broke in half and laying on my pool gazebo roof and another fell next to my garage in the driveway. My yard is flooded. But thank God we still have electricity. I think it's time to move to Tennessee!

Raining hard for last hour, winds are strong, no idea how what mph. We have a very large Elephant or Monkey ear tree in back yard that just went down. It is about 30 feet tall with a 30 ft spread and an 18" trunk. Just up rooted and laying against The Imperial Palace (motor home). The Palace is protecting the wagon. Power going off & on. We are safe, thank you for the thoughts.

Bretv, you catching the dirty side, how's everything going besides the palms.

You rowdy Arizonians moving into my state. How are you liking it so far?
Lots of land out by me. Rural no smog inspection fire the racecar up whenever great people and it is a red state.
