Hey Darlin’!
There were a few bands of rain through the night, but nothing really serious. Lola woke me up a few minutes before each one, so I checked to see if there were any tornado warnings in the area, but thankfully, the answer was always no, so I was able to sleep relatively peacefully in between. The morning brought a little rain, but progressively more wind, and at around 1:00, I checked the appropriate sources and learned the hurricane was, in fact, turning east a lot earlier than expected, and a hurricane warning had been issued for Lake Okeechobee. Well, that was it for me! No way I was going to stay here in my trailer with that kind of forecast, so I quickly packed up, closed up my trailer, and headed over to Jeff’s, where the winds hadn’t quite reached yet, though he had obviously had some rain. Spent a quiet afternoon reading, and the winds started picking up later in the day, the worst since the start of the storm, so I can only imagine how much worse it would be back in camp. Good decision! Even if there was no damage, I’d be sweating it all night with 50+ mph winds, which were being called for. Jeff served me a wonderful meal of steak, we watched a little Longmire (I’d seen the series before, but he hadn’t, I knew he would like it though), and now I’m in bed. Good night, baby! Love you!
