Well, my shop got a whole lot of temporary relics today. Relics in the form of all the stuff we have to bring in to keep them from becoming wind-blown projectiles. Irma's coming for a brief visit. My 51's in the shop with his "jammies" on (car cover). Shutters went up over the house windows and all our preparations are about complete. Current projections are for the eye of the storm to pass about 20 miles west of us. In 2004, three different storms passed pretty much over us in the span of about 2 months. Here comes another one right over us - essentially. Obviously, the path will only be known when it passes over. The storm is moving fast enough to not pose much of a flooding issue. The soil here is porous enough to soak up the water rapidly. We're not expecting a Houston type situation. No two storms are alike, but the preparations are the same. Button up, hunker down and hang on! The waiting for it to come, pass over and depart is the pits, however. I'll let you know in a few days if we sustain damages or not. Today is Friday and the storm currently is due Sunday into Monday here in Central Fl.
