Doing my best REO Speedwagon version of Riding the Storm Out. Our house is less than a year old and has every window hurricane proof, and screens that come down made of Kevlar that block any flying objects. And when the power goes off, which it surely will, let the vandals try and break in and meet some of my arsenal.

Looks like Milty plans on testing my house security setup--in a big way. Yikes.

That went from nothing to something shockingly fast.

I just read this:

Hurricane Milton's rapid intensification is part of a climate-fueled trend

It strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in just over 24 hours.

My sister and BiL from Tampa got to my house around 2:30 this morning. What is normally a 6 hour drive took 10.5. Glad they're here.
