Monday morning - as I write - Lulu is driving home from a week of fun with the cousins at Cocoa Beach. I just brought in the morning paper and here it is. We are getting a visit from Hurricane Michael on Wednesday at 7 PM. I hope he can stay for dinner. It is supposed to be a Category 2 by the time it hits the our coast. Since we are 40 miles inland - I am guessing it will be a Category 1 by the time it hits our town.
Our house is built to withstand storms greater than this. My only worry is damage to our camper. I can move it away from trees or try to find a garage that can take vehicles 8 feet 4 inches high. We have a Honda generator and also a second generator in the camper. We are up on a hill so there is no chance of flooding.
In Tallahassee - because there is so many trees - we have lots of power failures during hurricanes because soft soil and lots of rain make quick work of shallow roots. Lots of wind and wet ground = downed power lines.
Last summer when a hurricane was coming toward town - we fled in our camper west - and the hurricane went east. We returned to an untouched home.
Update - at noon Monday - classes at FSU called off for Tuesday and rest of the week.
