Maybe the house will blow down this time, I will just collect the insurance money, pay off the mortage, sell the land as is, and off I go to NZ. Don't mind me, just sick of this weather.

On a lighter note, no I am not on the penninsula, and will most likely remain here. This house is built like a fortress. I am about 1-2 miles as the bird flys away from the shore, we have the Halifax river on one side and the Tomoka on the other side of us. The biggest worry is flooding. I doubt she will make it to a 3, the water is too cold from Frances.

I am hanging tight.

For you guys in Ormand Beach, it really does look bleak this morning given the forecast. I can only say that IF this track verifies and if the intensity does increase, I would seriously consider the option to leave Ormond Beach, assuming that the 'Beach' part of your address implies on the island. I hope and pray for all of us that this track does NOT verify and that it does move back out to the East, but time doesn't permit holding ones breath. Action needs to commence now before it becomes too late. I think you'd agree, rather too early than not early enough when a strong storm is involved, especially one basically aimed right at you. Good luck neighbor!
