We were in Nassau many years ago and I don't remember much above 20' other than buildings on the whole island. Truthfully I don't remember much about the entire trip. It is a huge storm and the poor people in the Northern Bahamas are getting pounded. Lets hope it does turn and stays out to sea.

I’m in Longwood, FL, east of Orlando.

It’s supposed to hit us around 2am on wednesday.

Hopefully it will take the northward turn.

I have a 850 KW generator and 45 gals of gas.

Last hurricane we lost power for four days and my son, about a mile away,was out of power for a full week.

We fill up gallon jugs of water and stick them in the big freezer as a backup to keep things cold.

Sounds like the cold water in the Atlantic has weakened it to a three. Hopefully the trend continues.
