I'm in North GA. It'll probably die down a good bit before it gets to me, but we're still expecting a good rain. Good luck to those in FL and and the ones near it. Hopefully it's not too bad for yall
Once again new tracking and quick weakening over land fall is the latest, so the “storm of a lifetime” is going to be a rainy windy tropical storm for most of us. Your mileage may vary.
There goes the 'Insurance' job I was planning!
I hate when one of my Rolexes get sucked out an open window and flies away along with the receipt.

I slept through Alicia, a Cat 3, in '83, but sure didn't sleep through Gilbert, a Cat 5, in '88. I've since moved out of the path of hurricanes. Looks like Ian is, for now, a Cat 3. Good luck to everyone in its way and keep your head down.
So far just a rainy medium Rainey gusty day here on the space coast. Blowing in the back porch just enough to annoy e while i have a cigar and coffee.
Power out at my house, drove out to stay with my son and granddaughter who are outside I 75. It's going to get nasty, we're square in the path. Expecting sustained winds up to 130 mph and up to 24" of rain.
Save Tom Brady ! Sorry..and JK
Hunker down, ya just nebber' know. Hopefully Big Ian stops popping Viagra and limps out..

I have to say, this bowl of 2012 Capstan Gold Flake is freaking amazing right now. The lanai is east facing and working right now but probably won't with much more wind.
Stay safe! You guys are going to get some nasty weather there. Hope you have enough rum!
Central N.C. is in the cone for too much rain but not predicted for much wind, maybe some flash flooding after heavy rains on Saturday. My cousin and his wife and family are in Ft. Myers, Fla., so I need to call to check on them. I don't think they'd appreciate it in the midst of the landfall, but I'll call later today, Wednesday, or wait until tomorrow. They have hurricane shutters and have been through several hurricanes before. They have a generator.
I'm hoping that we don't have power outages. Usually these are from downed trees, and the ground is pretty dry so may be be able to soak up enough of the rainwater that the trees won't topple. Hoping for the best, especially for Floridians catching the brunt of the wind and storm surge.
For safety, continue to be careful after the wind ends. This is the time most people get in trouble, when they go out to inspect the damage and are feeling more confident, like the worst is over. Over confidence causes trouble. Don't drive through standing water. Steer clear of downed power lines. Don't do any sight-seeing in boats, or recreational rafting or kayaking.

East facing working for me as well.
Pool cage didn't survive but overall, it seems a bit better than the new hype. Surprise, Surprise. Saw a couple of hours of 80 to 100 mph wins. They're now saying most of the storm should pass us my around midnight to 2 am which is significantly shorter than expected. Praise the Lord for sparing us from what could have been much, much worse. Power outages everywhere but generator working well. Internet survived this far.
I'm enjoying a bowl of MB Virginia No 1 in a Ryan Alden.
