We in Florida are keeping a close eye on Hurricane Irene. I live only one mile from the coast and at just above sea level, so flooding happens here when we get a close call from a big storm.
I see they've modified their report this morning and have Irene moving on a sea path to the east. I'm just below Jacksonville, at St. Augustine, so the storm will be a Cat 3 or 4 Hurricane when it passes my area.
I hope it stays a good distance offshore. We'll still get the rain, but hopefully no bad flooding or wind damage. If it looks like it's coming close, I'm running northwest!
The little "zero" on the upper east coast of Florida on the map shows where I live. See me in it? I'm waving!
