Here in the Keys we are expecting a Tropical Storm tonight into Friday morning. Winds sustained at 40mph but gusts up to 75mph. Not so much rain, but the problem is storm surge. They said to expect salt water flooding 1ft above ground for those of us against the water, which is a problem because I have a ton of baby trees just put in, not all of which are salt tolerant the further away from the water. So depending on high high it really gets, how long it lasts, and whether there is enough rain to make it brackish and water it down, I might lose a lot of things.
Nothing like the devastating loss of people directly in the path of Cat 4 Matthew though, of course. Best wishes to any members who have or will be in its way, particularly in remote areas of countries that have few resources to help their people.
