We Got A Piece

Rain and strong wind gusts from Hurricane Irma arrived here late this morning and will continue all night. 

This shows how huge the storm is. Although we are hundreds of miles from the main portion, we are still being affected significantly.

We went over to check out the inlet and Goat Island by the Marshwalk during high tide at about noon. As you can see most of the marsh is under water and only small bits of Goat Island are visible.

Good thing they removed the goats as they very likely would have drowned.

We lost power in our home at about 2:30 this afternoon, but it came back about an hour later.

By 5:15pm our lights started flickering again so who knows. I do have ice to keep the beer cold so that's something anyway.

Still keeping a wary eye on that big pine in the back as I don't trust it one bit.

The cats have gone into complete denial and have decided that sleeping under a bed or chair works best. At least they know what they are doing.

Winds blowing pretty good out there now and can't wait for the entire thing to pass by.
We should be ok by sometime tomorrow. That's if we make it through the night unscathed which I'm hoping.
