[Andrei Cular <andreic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The time to panic has passed for us landfall will be within the next 
45min.  Everyone was running around like chickens with no heads for the 
past 2 days.  Some of my new to Florida neighbors put sandbags around 
their houses...  I just pulled everything important out, took pictures, 
tied the house to my very large anchor, and made sure I had my insurance 
policies with me.

Since everything is put away I'm going to take my rolerblades and a very 
small sail out and see how fast I can go.  Don't anyone else try this I 
am an untrained non-professional will all the proper safety gear and 
very little experiance.
