I am going to a softball field with my pitcher friend. I'll be hitting with the wind. I always wanted to knock it out of the park and over the fence at Saddlebrook. This is my one chance.

I was returning Tuesday, but unsure if MCO will be open. Airlines are giving a free cancel, or change flight to later date. Since everyone on TOTV is so helpful, I will know what has transpired, in TV. Our insurance company already sent emails with phone number, and online to get claims rolling.

So stay safe everyone it's only a house, what ever happens, there will be someone willing to help, have contact information, and offer their thoughts and prayers.

TV is a large community, but an still feel like a small town with thoughtful and caring people

As they now forecast the storm to remain a Cat 3 to Gainesville, I may bug out within the hour to calmer skies. Hope the forecasters are wrong. Please be safe!

Thanks. I expect most of the wind will be coming at us from the west unless the track shifts again or the storms outer bands are quite intense?
