Could be a rough night but hoping the worst of it is to the north of Ocala. Just moved all the horses into the barn before the first rain squalls hit .  |

They are predicting landfall in the Big Bend area, but I have a funny feeling on this one. Think we get smacked in the face this time. (beyond the normal extra rain and 30 mile per hour wind gusts) Hope I'm wrong.

looks like we might dodge the worst of it again---a lot of rain--hopefully not a difference making surge
I just booked a flight there for Saturday morning---hope that works and no issues when/if i get there
doesnt look good for anyone in the full force of this
take care--hoping for the best!

Have been to Cedar Key many times. It got wiped out by a hurricane in 1896. I was there just two weeks ago . Quite a bit of new construction and renovations going on . They might avoid a direct hit but they have lots of restaurants on the shore so a storm surge could be devastating.

Fortunately no damage to the farm in Ocala and still have power. Some of the small coastal communities just fifty miles away have been very badly hit though.

We got lucky, forecasters nailed the landfall. Just rain and a few mild gusts here. Never really know which way things will turn out.(spinning the dial, guessing where it will land)
