Thank you so much for your thoughts! We made it through the night - the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm (only 70 mph winds instead of 75). But with gusts of up to 90 mph, it's still a problem. We only lost a bit of roof, and the kitties are safe, and we did not lose power!

There's a Category 3 hurricane bearing down on us, due to arrive in a day or two, so we're leaving the windows boarded up. It's probably gonna veer off north. But then everyone thought this one would veer off and it didn't. (and it was only a Category 1).
