<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2845278, member: 8959&quot;]Well, I certainly picked a good time to visit Florida.........Irma is coming!</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife and I have been here in South West Florida for 3 weeks now, and were planning to leave in a weeks time to head back home to Germany. May need to scrap that and &#039;extend&#039; our stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love it here, and so does my family, that is why we decided to purchase a home here to spend the european winters in the future, but I&#039;ve never been through a storm before (we don&#039;t get things like that in Germany).</p><p><br /></p><p>Went out to Publix his morning to stock up with water, candles, and non-perishable food. Public had no more waster, neither did Wall-Mart or Sam&#039;s Club. Been boiling water for the last hour to make sure we have enough by the time the storm hits, as may happen, by Friday/Saturday...&nbsp; Certainly a new experience for us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also bought a power tool to install the storm shutters (all 11 windows in our home, whew!!!). I took a crash course in Shutter installation this morning, - not Looking forward to that!</p><p><br /></p><p>I may be yearning for the (relative) safety of Germany by the time this is over. Yet we still hope Irma will veer-off and wander off into the gulf (or wherever, just not where we are!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Stay safe now all C.T&#039;ers in South Florida, or anywhere in Irma&#039;s path![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
