I’m not much of a Diarist. I’m more of a commenter. This will be short,sweet and to the point.
It is now just about 10pm here in SWFL. Though the main part of the storm itself is still off the coast of Cuba we here in Lehigh Acres are starting to feel the first effects as the first rain bands have started to roll in, and the wind has begun picking up. Also, according to Wink news here in SWFL, Irma has begun its much anticipated northward turn and is now on it’s way to us.
Not to mention the Keys is already getting hit as we speak.
It may be a while before power goes out, (or maybe not, knock on wood) or it may be soon. So while the whatever the worst my area is going to get is still a number of hours away I’m going to go ahead and get this out of the way.
To all my fellow Floridian’s, East, West, South, North, etc….,
Hunker down, Stay safe, and Hope to see you on the other side……..of the storm that is.

Well... back from the abyss..…
Made it through okay. No damage to house. Street flooded a little but house on a hill. Other than no power right now, no real major problems. No other family in Fl but everyone I know in Florida turned out fine or at the very least survived. Would have posted sooner but no power at house and limited phone charging opportunities and had to conserve battery power.
Thanks for all the prayers and the "good lucks" , etc...., and I hope all the other Floridians on here made out okay as well.

Very fortunate. Power restored. I made previous update at work (Publix, a real madhouse right now) . As of that time was still out. Found out it was back on when I got home. To those still without, hang in therem
