I just came through hurricane Helene

[Judge]

This hurricane is so large and strong that Florida likely will experience hurricane strength winds on both the west and east coasts at the same time.

I thought about that as well, particularly if the diameter of this enormous weather system remains what it is presently, even as the "cat" level drops as it makes landfall. Where its outer edges could potentially cover both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of Florida at the same time.

All the windows are covered with plywood. Got food, water, medications. Now I’ll do the last wash before the power goes out. Bring in the rest of the orchids and other misc stuff. Park truck under pole barn.

Take the last hot bath.

I’m still in the main path. I’ve ridden out cat1s with low cat2 winds. But I don’t know what will happen with strong cat2 coming through. Not supposed to have cat2s in the center of the state.

I'm worried about y'all. Please stay in touch with us here if you can.

Take care. That's so much- too much for people to have to deal with in too short a time! From time to time we may get 75mph winds...but that's nothing in comparison.
