In the afternoon. It decided to shift a little to the top of the shutters in the afternoon yesterday.
It's making a mess of the inside, but it knows worse is coming.
Because the worse allegedly is.
As of this post, 8:39am as I see the time of writing, on September 28 2022, Ian has shifted more as he has been sitting in the waters between Cuba and Florida.
He's gaining power.
At the 7:30am newscast, the governor had an update with state officials and other agencies. It is a very highly possibility right now we are in line for a category 5 hurricane.
What should have been a four, is strengthening into a hell of a 5. All broadcasts have said that they've not seen anything like this, and are talking about worse case scenarios.
Currently power is out in a lot of places and storm surges are predicted to be now up to 16 feet of water in the Lee County area. Which means the (8 foot?) cement city wall separating the back of house from the street, better hold up or we're looking at a pool in our condo. The front of the house, hopefully will just stay in the street and not creep to the door.
We are here in the house while we can, but might be going upstairs to our neighbor if we can and have to.
It's just a wait game right now because it's slowly making it's way here. With tornados spawning everywhere, we've been under high alert since 6 or so last night.
The rain is pinging the shutters and I can hear my upstairs neighbor moving stuff right now, unless it's the wind and start of thunderstorms...
Around 11:30 this morning is going to be the start of what we are supposed to get, so it now being 8:56am, I am going to cut it off here and get some quick stuff done around the house (like make something to eat while we still can).
Will check in when I can...
Cheers;
