So. Trying not to worry too much. The projected track could (will) shift between now and whenever, and even if it followed this exact path, a weak category 2 isn't another Ivan... but I can't deny that my stomach has been more prone to knotting over the past few days...
No time's a good time for a tropical storm / hurricane, but we've got company* from overseas coming sometime in early September... and the people building our garage were tentatively planning to start bringing in materials on Monday. Somehow I get the feeling they'll want to put things on hold for a few more days, now. ;o)
* Speaking of our company, the last we heard (on Thursday or Friday), they were planning to stay on in the Florida Keys until either today or tomorrow. (I think Donald said Monday...) I guess a mere tropical storm is something of an adventure when you don't have property damage to worry about and can easily pick up and leave at a moment's notice. (I do hope they won't get stuck in traffic trying to get out of town, but apparently the locals weren't worried, so there likely won't be a traffic jam.)
