Rhonda, I too am on the east coast of southern Florida. The Treasure Coast area. Heavy rain here since last night. 2-4” by this morning. What will today bring? Higgs and prayers to all water logged people.

I am just south of you in Martin and frequent the 2 LQS in your county. Lots of wind and rain last night. Stay Safe!

Stay safe everyone! I can't believe how fast this storm has grown in power! So much for wind shear breaking up the storm. I hate this! I am praying for all to stay healthy and alive in this storm and for a fast decrease in wind speeds.

Last night, had hard time sleeping, anxious. There’s a gentle rain.
expected in our area tomorrow early pm as tropical storm. Think we’ll be close.

Petthefabric, Rhonda, MarshaKay and all our Florida quilting boarders -- I hope your quilting projects are able to distract you from the weather. The weather channel is broadcasting live and I am thankful that the eye has made landfall. I hope it loses wind speed soon. I also hope it doesn't cross FL and slam full strength again on the east coast. Poor southwest Florida!

I pray everyone that may be affected are not affected in a horrible way.

Prayers for all who are in it’s path! They are indeed very humbling to experience, having been through 2 back home in Hawaii.

I heard there are 2 million people without power. Stay safe everyone! Fire up those generators!

My prayers go out to all in Florida as the storm has now hit Florida, made a terrible mess along the way, millions without power,etc. I lived in Orlando, Fl for 30 years and am so glad I no longer live there but I still have many friends who I'v been in contact in recent days asking what their plans are during this storm. I lived thru the storms during 04 and 05 losing power, food, etc. Learned how to cook on a little propane stove and skillet. Had to use candles at night as I worked nights but luckily my business had backup power so went down early to take a shower and get ready for work. Of course that didn't do much for me in keeping me cool during the day/nights as this was back in August of those years. Probably isn't much cooler in late September either.

My prayers go out to all in the path of Ian.
