This is the track of Hurricane Ian as of 9/26, and from what we're seeing combined with much past experience this storm will likely be a lot like Irma was in 2017, maybe a little worse. We're on the dirty side, which means an increased threat of tornadoes if the track holds (we did get side-swiped by one with Irma, too.) I expect our power and internet to be out for a week or more. So that's the bad news.
On the plus side, well, we've been here/done this lots of times. We will be very careful, not take any risks at all and ride it out like we always do. I've scheduled about a week and a half of posts to publish on the blog during my absence, but I won't be able to moderate comments for a while.
I'll post how we made out as soon as power and broadband are restored. Until then, send good thoughts our way. :)

I've been thinking of you a lot. I wondered if you were in the evacuation list. Please take care, be careful and hunker down. Let us know as soon as you can what's going on.
No evacuations for my immediate area except for the trailer parks. We're in good shape, and have all the supplies we need, but it will likely be a week or two with no power or internet.
I think if it was a two week thing, while I could live without electricity or internet, being on a well where we are, I'd have to invest in a composting or incinerating toilet. Other than that, I could be self sufficient for that long without too much trouble. Our gas always works, power or no so between lighting the stove and our Weber and pellet smoker, we'd be good there. It's just the facilities, you know? No power, no well pump, no toilet...
It's shaping up to be a bad one. You have my phone number. If things go from bad to unlivable, we'll make room for you and yours. Good luck, hon.
