Doing good here so far wind is picking up, wind is gusting up to about 40-50 mph, no rain yet but its coming. The outer eyewall is just now approaching the coast.

Well, everything is put up and tied down. Truck and Jeep are in the garage. Both cars are pulled up to touching the garage doors so they have a few feet of eave coverage. Both have car covers tied down on them.

First large limb came down at my house about 30 minutes ago. Wind has been gusting pretty good, but it is def going to get worse before its over. I got some before pics to post later. Then we can compare with after pics.

Russel, Tracy...how are your hurricane parties going? I still have power, but I heard a few transformers blow close by. We are just watching DVR movies and eating junk food. One of my crazy neighbors has been riding his mountain bike around since 6. I am waiting to see him get blown into a ditch

Did Tara and her family make it home safely last night??
