Healhustler in Irma bullseye

Scot Free is in the water at Progressive Marine in St. Petersburg. Originally was gonna stay on the boat as the path was up the East Coast. As the track shifted west thought I would be good as the power of the storm would diminish as it headed north up the spine of Florida. But when it moved to the west coast it was time to think again. Now we are the bulls eye for landfall.
The boat is secured to a floating dock. I have fifteen lines out to the dock, pilings, an oak tree, a concrete post and a stern anchor on the other side of the channel.
I was lucky enough to have become friends with a local and am at an apartment where the ground floor is 47' above sea level and the apartment is on the second floor. I brought all the perishables and frozen food off the boat. I also emptied my safe of all the paperwork and my gun.
Not much more I can do now but wait for the storm to hit sometime just after midnight.
