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.
I hope you are right and that it does not achieve Cat-III but even a Cat-II or strong Cat-I taken as a direct hit is very different than what you received during Frances. Flooding is MUCH more of a likely event if you are even partially in the eye as is quite possible with the forecast. If flooding does occur on the island, which is likely, I hope your fortress can swim. Once you decide and the winds come up, it is too late to change your mind as the bridges will be closed and you'll be trapped on the island. At least, you aren't on the ocean side, but rivers can flood also. In any event, make your decision early and God be with you. We could all be spared if the track forecast changes but I wouldn't count on it improving will be elated if it does improve....soon!
