Hurricane Check In: Harvey

...and now Irma and Jose, too. Is everybody OK?

I know mj is okay, but I haven't heard from Lambear. I don't think she was in a dangerous area.


I'm worried about Ragdoll in Florida.

[Trixie]

I think Ragdoll lived in the northern part of Florida. By the time the storm hits Gainesville it should be around a Cat 1 and by the time it crosses the FL/GA line it will have been downgraded to a tropical storm with winds around 60 mph.

Unfortunately, Rags lives in the west central area. I'm worried about her, too.

[Trixie]

Like around Gainesville? I'm glad to see it's losing steam. Not the best situation but could be a lot worse.

Like around the Tampa bay area.

[Trixie]

I hear Tampa fared a lot better than expected. I'm in the northeast part of the state and (though not my home personally) I can't believe how badly the entire east coast got it. Apparently size matters.
