Irma is coming our way, so I may be off-line for a few days. I'm sure to lose power, and probably Internet too.
If you have any reason to contact Norton Music via e-mail, be assured I'll answer as soon as I'm back on line. Right now I'm putting up storm shutters.

Notes, if you and Leilani want to get out of dodge until the storm passes, you're welcome here. Seriously.
Same offer extends to anyone else in the storm's path who might want to get away for a few days without incurring costs for lodging and meals.
If you can get to the Greensboro (GSO) or Charlotte (CLT) airport, I'll come pick you up if you let me know the flight number and arrival time.
If you'd rather drive, contact me by PM and I'll give you my address & phone number.

Sending our thoughts from PG Music for you! It's a tragedy what's happening in the south right now, with the storms and floods and all.
Cheers,

I agree. Please if you can get out of Irma's path. This one looks like a killer.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

My cousin and wife from Key West got out of dodge yesterday. Maybe you should batten down those hatches and get out of town. Go visit Nashville for a couple of days.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Thanks for the offers and well wishes. I've been through a lot of hurricanes, and while nothing is certain, in my situation I believe it's safer to stay here than to drive on the highway with all the crazies. My home is on the Eastern Sand Ridge - 32' above sea level - while I may get water in the house, I won't be flooded, I'm on top of a hill. The house is well constructed to building codes that were enacted before the developers started bribing government to water them down. I have drop-down storm awnings, and storm panels for protection from flying objects. I have a very good roof for hurricanes with an excellent track record. I have well water and will lose power, probably anywhere from a few days to over a week, but I have a generator and lots of gas. Using it frugally I can probably last a couple of weeks. At the first signs, when it got halfway across the pond and before the news media made people hysterical, I quietly bought non-perishable food that I will eat anyway, recharged all my batteries, checked the generator, checked the emergency radio, checked the emergency lights, bottled a lot of water in re-purposed cheap jug wine bottles that I asked for when playing condominium gigs and cleaned out trash cans to store water to flush the toilet. today I put up the storm panels, I'll drop the awnings Saturday. I also cleaned the gutters, policed the yard to remove anything that would likely become airborne, and checked with my close neighbors to see if they needed help. Of course there never is a guarantee that I'll be safe, but the odds are overwhelmingly in my favor. What I don't look forward to is the loss of electricity and the clean-up after the storm subsides. I hope everyone here in Florida and Georgia makes it through OK. As long as I have power and Internet, I'll be taking care of business and visiting here. And right now I'm bummed that I had two nice gigs this weekend, and they are both cancelled. And if Irma destroys a clubhouse in Okeechobee, I'm out of a New Year's Eve gig at over $1,000 more than our normal one-nighter price  (Now that's a true Floridian attitude). Notes

Notes,
It sounds like you've made good preparations, and I hope everything turns out OK for you and all in the path of this hurricane.
Have Fun!

Batten down the hatches. Thar's a storm a comin'.
Stay safe. I saw something funny the other day.... since I'm in search and rescue.... put hotdogs in your pockets so the search dogs will find you first. There's some truth in that.
Seriously.... be safe and don't take chances.
edit: Richard Branson decided to ride the storm out on his private island. He had a really well built house that included hurricane rated shutters for the windows and doors. Apparently it got so bad that they retreated to the wine cellar. (Now that's the kind of storm shelter everyone needs...right?) When they came out, the house was totally destroyed above them.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Notes, I hope your Wine Cellar keeps you amply supplemented, and the house remains untouched.

Many many friends in Florida and we are greatly concerned. My prayers are not only with them but also that they had the good sense to evacuate early enough.
Stay safe Notes.
Later,

Best wishes for all in the storms path. We left the Tampa area early this morning and just got to our first stop in Tallahassee. We're going to monitor the storm from here and if need be head to Birmingham on Sunday. I packed up my studio equipment and put it in my truck to keep it safe so I wont be able to record for a few days.

Well I'm in the western panhandle of Florida, so unless it decides to take a sharp left turn, we should be fine here. That being said, we've got our supplies (water, food, gas, propane, batteries, flashlights, etc) and should be fine. My house was built in 1959 and has done well for 60 years (although I've only lived in it 3 1/2 years), I suspect it will weather the storm fine. Our neighborhood tends not to flood , so that should be good. We had no issues with the heavy rainfall back in 2014 that dropped 26 inches of water in 24 hours.
My prayers are definitely with those who are in the path of the storm, and it looks like Jose is coming up right behind Irma.
