Well, we woke up to news this morning that Tropical Storm Ernesto is likely to turn back into a hurricane by tonight and that it is heading straight for my house in Miami. Yikes! Veteran hurricane watchers will note that it could remain a tropical storm, in which case we get a few blown down branches and lots of rain but no other serious problems, it could veer off in one direction or the other or it could become a Category 3 hurricane by the time it hits sometime Tuesday night. Category 3 means serious damage throughout Miami. We’ve been spending a lot of time preparing — standing in line at the grocery store and at gas stations. Now it’s time to put up the shutters and hunker down. I hope to send updates until the lights go out sometime Tuesday night.
