Hurricane Ian...

Hurricane Ian makes it way to us today.  When the worst of it comes through this afternoon will have upwards of 45-50mph wind gusts.  Sustained winds will be somewhere around 25mph.  We are due to get somewhere around 4" of rain.  We get that much rain and sometimes more with a severe thunderstorm so the rain part isn't that big of a deal.  The great thing for us leading up to Ian coming through is we have had very dry weather so we shouldn't see as much damage as we have seen with past Hurricanes when they came through.  In the past we've had lots of rain prior to an event such as this so trees have toppled easily.  We'll see what the day holds.  I'm up at 7:30ish in the morning while the boys are still asleep making homemade chicken and rice soup incase we loose power later today.   Scot battened down the hatches yesterday around the outside of the house as well as our big building.  Nothing like a hurricane coming through to make you pick up your piles of stuff around your property...LOL! We are keeping our devices charged and ready as well.  Staying prepared for anything knowing that this really could end up not being much of an event for us as we have seen in the past. We will keep everyone posted as we can.
