Lay My Hat

Looks like Florida is in line to get its first major hurricane of the season if predictions as to Isaac's path hold true. We are heading out on Thursday next, high winds permitting.
Hopefully the predicted course (landfall Miami and then right up the middle of the state through Orlando) are wrong or, at least, damage and injury is at a minimum.

Fingers, toes, eyeballs everything crossed please folks!!!

Thank you for the info.
Tropical storm Debby hit us quite hard on the west coast, but looks like it is time to be glued to nhc again!

Crumbs! Fingers crossed for you guys, and come back here to tell us how you got on.

Some computer models showed Isaac shifting slightly to the west and eventually moving parallel to Florida's western coastline which will have it hitting the Tampa area more but some experts say Tampa had a 9 percent chance of getting hit with tropical storm-force winds for a 24-hour period ending Monday so who really knows .Having been through 2004 and the 4 that hit the center of the state then I will watch with interest and fingers crossed .

Sarasota,Manatee, And Hernado county has issued a notice that school has been closed on Monday 27th Aug. Batten down the hatches!

Good luck to all of you in Isaac's path. Let us know how you survive it.

Thanks Pambon, I will post videos on our facebook page if anything exciting happens.

We're at our villa at the moment and although it's been overcast today it's calm. No wind to speak of but we're inland in Orlando.

We'll see what the next couple of days bring but I don't think it's going to be too bad. We've been here before during 2 hurricanes but have been lucky for the last 3 years when there's been none.

Looks like we got lucky again. Just wet and windy, Had an Indian buffet yesterday it was just like being back in Manchester!
