For once we get a break in the south... Unfortunately I don't think the guys up north know what's about to come their way... Wishing all the best for them...

Everybody be safe up there....best to evacuate..if they advise you to...take it from somebody who lives in hurricane alley ......the storm is 1000 miles from here, yet we are getting gusts up to 30MPH...and the seas on my aquaculture site are 11.6 foot this morning!!

Really is amazing how large this storm is.....

Bottom line is....be safe, be ready for no power, and evacuate if they tell you to!
