Really hope that you come through this unscathed Barbara, you've already had enough excitement and sadness recently... Costs too I imagine... From the description of your location, you should be far enough east to avoid a direct hit... Seems like you're on the farthest east portion of the potential cone of probability. I think those up by Apalachicola are gonna get a direct hit.

I agree trees are a concern, as long as wind stays low...we should be fine....i always prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Our home is under a 300 year old oak tree, had a health check on it so that should be fine. I'm going to go to sleep now to get ready for whatever the storm brings, but going to try after storm to help people with animals that need tempoary housing, that is only for animals, lol will keep up dating as thing progress,

Everyone has to be somewhere and where ever you're at, there you are..
I'm about 75 air miles from the nearest point on the Texas coast, on the banks of the East Fork San Jacinto River. We have received hurricane related winds in excess of 100mph even this far from the coast.
or less detailed..
Ike's eye passed within just a few miles of my residence, but Ike was a huge storm. Rita passed about 45 miles to the East of my place,, but Harvey was the real kicker. It came to visit, and like the bad relative, stayed and stayed.
I'm not hard to find and have more than once posted a map right to my house with written directions on this website and several others.
(This isn't it, but all ya gotta do is look for the place that's shaped like a boot.)

I feel sorry for all those down there with animals as well. Did anyone see all the chickens that were killed in NC's last hurricane? They could not escape the chicken houses. Thousands died. Some people think chickens are just stupid birds but they have personalities as well.

I lost chickens in a coop fire once and they were all piled up against the door trying to get out. They knew that they were in danger and it was horrible to see the next day.
Praying for everyone in the path of this storm. Stay safe.

We're being told over here that the hurricane is imminently due for touchdown.
Praying you and your animals keep safe.

Looks like the worst for surge will be Apalachee Bay.
It is East facing and NOAA says it can expect 13ft surge, above mean high tide.
Well, you gave us the only 2 clues needed to get a pretty close grid coordinate fix.
A. 25 miles from coast=a north/south line or longitude.
B. 2 miles from the specified river, (which in this case runs mostly E to W or at least mostly SW) = an East West line/latitude--within a close proximity anyway. Since it was unknown which side of the river, the closest one possibly could get with the would be 4 miles, +/- 2 miles.
Combined, both 'clues' give us an X & Y axis for any map with names of towns.
Bob Henson, meteorologist has a very good write up this morning on some unique features of this storm, the following being one of them:
Satellite images of Michael’s evolution on Tuesday night were, in a word, jaw-dropping. A massive blister of thunderstorms (convection) erupted and wrapped around the storm’s eye, which has taken taking a surprisingly long time to solidify. A layer of dry air several miles above the surface being pulled into Michael from the west may have been one of the factors that kept Michael from sustaining a classic, fully closed eyewall (see embedded tweet below). A closed eyewall is normally a prerequisite for a hurricane to intensify robustly, but somehow Michael managed to reach Category 3 status without one..
