Well I believe that the Indian Mound is sacred ground. Irma took a right and has skated around us. Have to watch out for the backside of this thing, that's when they get brutal. We are so fortunate, hope everything works out for those in it's path. Feel so sorry for those who endured Harvey.

I go in, she follows, we start making motor sounds, the dogs come in and freak out. We take the helmets off in fear of being attacked.
It's starting to rain a little harder and the wind has picked up. Weather guy can't figure where it is going. A little east, then a little west. Originally they predicted from Maine to Mexico, I guess they are narrowing it down when it's right on top of you.

I read this and spit my coffee out I was laughing so hard. Ron it is so cool to see your humour in this time. Please take care and be safe.

Power out since 7:00 pm, Irma went around us, just amazing. Big tree uprooted and was against the motorhome. 6 trees snapped. Everything else is fine. Finally I have internet on my phone. Generator running to keep food and beer cold. Son in laws told me that Englewood has some trees laying around, but no structural damage. When I recently saw the weather and where Irma went, I think of all the people that went to GA. I see that it is approaching like TN and NC. I can tell you this, Mother Nature sure knows how to clean up the landscape.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers and I wish all well to those who endured.
Now that it's over, do I have to take the helmet off.

Indian Mound.

The Indian burial grounds worked again. We had zero damage at our place in Rotonda. Never even lost electric. Lots of water. The river was high. If it had stayed on the forecast track of going over Pine Island then the harbor, it would have been very different.
