Want to say that I have been learning more about hurricanes than I ever wanted to know from reading this board, but I'm thankful so many of you understand what is going on far better than I. I''ll attempt to keep stupid comments and questions to a minimum...............now with that said. I'm in St. Augustine and like many of you from Florida, I don't think I can stand another weekend storm watching. I quit watching the weather channel and now just check the NHC forecasts and read the posts here. I was without power for 6 days. I've been on vacation for 3 weeks, but I'm going back to work Tuesday. Just in time to take a cold shower in the mornings again it appears. I think I could use some mood stabilizers right now  . I'm not freaking out, just watching. The track has changed so much that I'll reserve getting nervous until tomorrow if the track remains the same.
That sounds like a plan. I would suggest taking the time between now and when you start getting nervous to ensure you've done your preparations as St Augustine, even with a course change, is likely to experience much worse conditions than you've seen so far this year. By tomorrow, your neighbors may start panic buying and the stores may already be 'out' when you get there. Don't panic, but do prepare and restock needed supplies this morning. You can always use unused supplies, if not this year with Lisa, then certainly something...
I pray conditions aren't as bad or worse than before, but we would be foolish to delude ourselves and say it can't happen or won't happen, not in a case like this. I'd rather be over prepared rather than under prepared.
