Definitely keeping an eye on that! Always happy for rain, and anxious to see how our latest hurricane mitigation works. Would be ironic if it came through on Sept. 6.

Red blob now, and not far enough north to be comfortable.

Frankie, how much damage did your house sustain during Irma? How many months were you without power? Are you waterfront? What did it take to rebuild your dock? Yes, some of us watch every tropical wave.

Actually, my Moorings yacht was destroyed during Irma. Nothing was going to change that no matter how much I monitored its progress. The only sure way to avoid damage is to not have property in the islands.

I don’t like the look of this one. I don’t think it’s going North.

Perhaps the only way to avoid any damage is to not have property in the islands, but a lot can be done with proper preparation to minimize damage. Can't do much for an Irma but Cat 5s are a rare occurrence. I've lived along the Gulf Coast all my life and believe me tracking the blobs that might affect us is a daily occupation this time of year.
Having visited the BVI the year after Irma, I certainly can understand the concerns of residents, and boat owners.
