We got the hurricane shutters on a day early. Left the back patio slider shutters off for now. We broke one wing nut and that was the only spare one ROFL. We already have extras in a kit we had bought a couple of years ago and haven't used.
Now it's just a waiting game. ... Tick tock, tick tock...

O.M.G. Priceless!!!!!!!!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!Awww yur breaking my heart Uncle.

IRMA MAE,
Listen baby, I understand you and HARVEY had some ups and downs, and then he left you and his son. But you don't have to chase him honey!
Women get their hearts broken everyday, but we don't just take that stuff out on EVERYBODY that's "Close" to us![]()
Why don't you and little JOSE just chill and enjoy the Atlantic... Cause WE don't want to be in the middle. PLEASE...!!!!
SINCERELY, EVERYBODY IN THE STATES OF FLORIDA, GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, and NORTH CAROLINA!!!![]()

AND - Although, I left "My" apartment today to finish up a few errands before I leave to go to my Friends home, I arrive back to "My apartment complex find that the management/maintenance people where I live had left early - already closed up shop at 4 PM, shut down all the elevators, sandbagged doorways, and will not be back here until sometime next week and "Irma" passes by (wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow - Thankfully I can still get out tomorrow when I had planned to do at 12 Noon). Also, since we are in a Flood zone (#1) by the inter-coastal and have been told to evacuate by city/state, many of "My" neighbors have done so today too (Thankfully - They went to shelters/special needs facilities, Family/Friends, or just left the state). The worse thing though are all of those neighbors who did not leave here and are planning to stick it out as many of us did during "Wilma" & "Mathew" - NOT GOOD ! ! !
Also, I am now second guessing myself for NOT trying to get a airfare out of here . . .
"My" apologies for just spewing, however I need to tell someone right now . . .
Anyway, it is what it is . . .

Classy do you have shutters ?![]()
Wish I was in Destin.What kills me about this storm is it could damage all 3 of my properties in Destin Fl, Avon NC, Concord NC. I really hurt for the people of Central Florida hope everyone stays safe.
if you're stuck there,, get a helmet of some sort and a life jacket. you dont want to hit your head and you saw how the bayous down here became oceans,, your arms will tire swimming out.Oh boy. I get to see the eye if it stays on it's current path. How lucky am I
Nope - never could get it through Steve's head that we needed them.
Have Robin talk to him after it's over I guess,Stay safe 
Oh boy. I get to see the eye if it stays on it's current path. How lucky am I
I was eyed by both Frances & Jean in a three week span, now thats some luck there huh?
When I saw that my heart sunk. I am no longer in panic mode. I'm in scared s......less mode....who let thatscoot a bit West again this afternoon ?
Dangit !
No apologies Uncle. We all feel like you. ((((Hugs)))It has not been a good day . . . With all these continuing news report/updates about "Irma" all day long, I'm sitting here extreamly nauseated right now.
