I'm as prepared as we can be.
Path has shifted back towards Tampa and away from St. Pete which should reduce the winds slamming into us if she takes that path since the land will slow down.
My step mother showed once more that she has the emotional range of a teaspoon by yelling at me for being afraid. New Smyrna Beach where I grew up never took a direct hit.
We had winds and maybe tree damage but until I lived through Charley. I'd never experienced the complete destruction of a dead on hurricane.
So yeah. I'm afraid. Irma's a bitch of a storm.
But for now I'm going to pretend I'm a Yong Minerva McGonagall with balls of steel and no fear. Or perhaps Rose Tyler faces down Daleks
Interesting facts: The most accurate weather model they use is the European model based in Germany.
I'll update until the internet dies and/or the internet dies.

It's easy not being scared or even bothered if you've never gone through something and/or won't be affected. I can say I've never been phased by any of the many disasters on TV (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis and whatever is out there) - it's what nature is like.
However, I have to say it feels a bit different to realise I know someone who's affected and I'm not sure if knowing what you're going through would make it easier compared to not having a clue.
I think when you're facing nature like that - not being afraid means you're dead.
Guess we have very good weather scientists here. It also makes me wonder what people did before there were satellites in the orbit to spot them early.
*hugs some more*
(Also, try to remember Newt (not sure if that helps): "My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.”)
