Good news that you have been able to salvage so much. I hope your cattle continue to heal from their ordeal without infection or disease.

The track that I saw this morning has Irma headed to the Gulf as a Cat 4....certainly bears watching. Our daughter lives outside of Orlando and said the shelves at the stores are already bare...and they are preparing people and areas for possible evacuation with short notice. I believe the worst in modern history was in '05 when 4 came ashore and ripped both coasts in Florida in a fairly short period of time.

Irma is now Cat 5 with 185mph winds, and that is with the hunter aircraft not sampling the NE quadrant this morning, which is the quadrant with the strongest winds..4th strongest Atlantic storm since NHC has been keeping records.

I second that.
You leave way before it lands. ..when the roads are dry and gas stations have gas.
So....now. now is good.

@greybeard, glad that not everything was a loss. Can't imagine being an animal and going through that kind of trauma; they just don't understand why their world is suddenly a raging river. Poor things.
Hope Irma just changes her mind ...

It is still way too early to call....creditors want their bills paid on time irregardless of the reasons and jobs don't just let ya off for precautions....especially without an immediate threat and neither do schools close. The furtherest out the NHC has predictions for is 2am on Sun and that only has the eye sout of the pennisula somewhere over the keys. So, while it may be a really good idea to leave now....it makes no practical sense until a projected path turns it and reveals the likely path in relation to one's location and the strength once it gets there. I just hope it stays away from Texas and Louisianna, we'll just have to wait and see what does happen.

Don't wait too long...I know that of which I speak.
And, this sure doesn't look good.
Irma on track to enter Gulf of Mexico currently moving to the West.
TS Jose moving to the West right behind Irma.
TD13 formed in the Western Gulf of Mexico and is moving East.
Going to be an interesting couple of weeks...

Father, protect all our friends and family in the SouthEast. Keep them safe and give them the wisdom to know if they need to evacuate. In Jesus Name. Amen
