Awaiting Irma

The last few days we have been securing everything around the outside of our home and our river house in O'Brien.   Took in all the patio furniture and grand babies' toys.  You don't realize how much outside stuff you have until you are picking it up and putting it away somewhere so the wind doesn't blow it all away or into your house windows.   We are in North Florida so I'm not really expecting it to get too awful bad here.  We're all praying for safety for all the people in the path of the eye of Irma.  I feel so sad for people that lose their homes or all of it's flooded and have to start over after the storm goes through.   It's a little breezy outside but not expecting much until early Monday.  We have a lot of big old oak trees around our home and I'm praying they don't fall on our house.  I know we'll have a big mess to clean up after it's over, but nothing compared to the people on the coast where it hits.
Our town has been infiltrated with the south Florida people.  The traffic has been bumper to bumper and our store shelves have been emptied of the bread, water, can food, peanut butter, paper bowls and potatoes chips.   Hope everyone has all they need and the electric doesn't stay off for very long. Hoping my palm tree is still here Tuesday after Irma.   My twin grand babies on the climber gym their Jan Jan built for them.   Also hoping the climber survives all the big trees.
