The storm's forward motion has increased from 17 to 20 mph and will probably continue to increase unless it stalls when it nears land. As long as it tracks to the north that should work for us by reducing wind speeds by close to the forward motion.
Sat, Sun and Mon could be very rainy, as well as having strong winds.
The big albezia on the lot across from us has many large branches over hanging the power lines, could take our power out.
Asplund came through a few weeks ago trimming within 12' of the power lines, didn't touch the albezia.
I spoke with them, wasn't in the contract.
We lost power for 6 days after Iselle, and for 3 days after the following storm, no showers, no ice, cooking with a Coleman stove on the lanai, and so on.
Bought our generator because of Iselle.
Buying the generator was one of our best decisions.
Keeping it was our 2nd best.
This will be the 4th wind storm in 6 + years.
We've needed it at least every 2 years.
Even had to use it due to the eruption and the county's high handed move turning off our power.
Seems like a lot of storms for an area that is supposed to have a low probability of hurricanes.
Personally, I think the usual storm track that runs south of us is being moved north towards us by the "Global Warming" phenomena.
EDIT:
Added fun, from NWS's forecast the storm will be hitting B.I. in the dark Sat night.
That's always a lot more entertaining than if it comes during the day time.
