Jesters of the sea

Well now.

Today has been very interesting to say the least!

We have a hurricane named Michael in the Gulf of Mexico that is slogging it's way ashore. 

Bad news is, it is supposed to strengthen to a category 3. I cannot remember the winds speeds for that one, but I'm sure the damage will not be pretty. I know we have lots of trees around here that have not had a good wind to blow the dead wood out. The worst part of this storm will be the Northeast corner. This is projected somewhere in the big bend of Florida. I don't envy them. Storms surges, high waves, significant rainfall, and high winds for several hours will make for a lot of damage.

The storm is also projected to go over or near a show in Destin Florida that we have in 3 weeks.

I'm sure we'll hear from the committee running the show next week.

The chamber has already contacted us about the Festival this week. We were supposed to start setting up on Tuesday, but that has now been pushed to Wednesday check in, and Thursday set up and opening at 5pm. I don't know how many people will be out at 5pm to check us out. I am concerned about taking our trailer over to the campground on Wednesday as the winds are supposed to be in the 70 mph range. I am also concerned about our fellow artists, coming in from all over the country for this show. Lots of out of town people, needing to shelter in place before setting up. We will probably set up Early Thursday morning if allowed. The chamber had all the  plans in place for a staggered set up on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Now that is all out the window and plans may change yet again tomorrow.

We throw the dice, but God determines where they land. Proverbs 16:33
