Checking in with all of you. Irma has taken favorable path today, as it concerns me. Upon making landfall, it almost immediately reduced to a CAT2. Still potentially damaging, but bearable. It appears that we will get some moderately high winds, and a good bit of rain. I'm glad I decided to stay put. There's a good chance I won't even lose power. Or if I do, it will only be a couple of hours.
I watched a weather man stand out in the open during the landfall of the eye wall. 95 MPH gusts nearly knocked him off his feet. I'm not that crazy. We're expecting 35-50 MPH winds tomorrow. Much less than last year's hurricane.
The fun now will be navigating the traffic as people from further south try to get home to survey their damage. My heart goes out to those who sustained damage, loss, and grief.
Right now I have a light drizzle and frisky breezes. According to the weather maps, these are the effects of the outer bands of the storm. The birds on my deck seem to know there is weather coming. The hummingbird feeder has been mobbed all day, and the smaller birds have been at the feeder, quite aggressively.
There is a Facebook page for checking in on friends in the path of Irma. On it, people who are offering refuge, supplies and help can post what they have, as well as people in need who can post what they need. I found a (stranger) woman who needs things I have in plenty, so as soon as the post office is back in operation, I will be sending her a care package. She is elderly, wheelchair bound, and in a shelter. On the other side, for every plea for help, there were dozens of offers of places to stay, offers of help from as far away as California, and warm feeling of support and sympathy.
People are fundamentally good-hearted, generous, and kind. I affirm it is so.
Wishing you all a good night's sleep/bright awakening as it applies.
I will sleep well tonight, and see what tomorrow brings.
