Getting Ready for Irma

Appropriately enough this restaurant is named Hurricane Hanks!
Watching 24/7 weather isn't really much different than watching 24/7 CNN or Fox News.  After a while it can drive you a little goofy.  To maintain our sanity we do turn it off for a bit while making sure that we stay current on warnings and advisories.  We've got NaNa's house prepped as much as possible.  We did learn earlier today that we are in a mandatory evacuation zone.  Sometime tomorrow we'll be loading up and moving inland to Beth's brother and sister in law's (thanks Steve and Marilyn) house. Thank you to everyone who has so generously offered their houses to us.  We greatly appreciate your kindness as well as the thoughts and prayers from so many .    We'll start feeling the impact of the storm sometime late Saturday night.  Sunday and even early Monday may be a little bumpy before it clears this area. 
While we hope not, we are likely to lose power and cell phone service for a while.  Contact with the outside world may not be possible for a period of time.  I'll provide updates when I can.
If you're in the path of this booger stay safe!
