If it ends up a hurricane it'll be my very first.

uh oh....we got a virgin! once you go through one though, you fully understand what all the fuss is about. people always wonder (non-floridians, etc.) why people freak about gas, water, wood, storm shutters, etc. but once you go through a decent storm, you understand. i stood on my back porch for a few minutes, just for the experience, as the backside of wilma (the nasty side) passed over naples last year, and that was pretty crazy. my house was like an iron castle. no light makes for a very depressing time.

looks like the most recent forecast has it heading towards th upper keys and brushing by miami/ft lauderdale....every track update moves it further to the right...not that I wish anything bad to the Bahamians, but if that trend continues, it sure would bode well for us conchs...let's hope that Cuba breaks this storm up significantly!
I'm going to ride this on out on the sail boat with a bottle of rum! Yo ho me hearties!
Doh! You said the R word. I bet Scuba Jenny comes over for the hurricane party now!

Sorry everybody, it's my fault.
I finally bought and planted a tree last week to replace the big oak that Charley took from me.
At least I'm fully stocked up on rum and fuel.

So I don't sound selfish or insensitive, I'll first make the required good-luck-be-safe comment:
Good luck to all you Floridians, hope you all ride it out ok.
Now hopefully you will all be so distracted with my well-wishes that you won't notice as I slip in the real reason for my post:
I'll be in Marianna diving Twin and Hole on Sat and Sun and then in the Lauraville area the rest of the week (would like to do Peacock/OG, Telford, Ginnie, Cow, LR, etc). Is it likely everything will be flooded out?
