Our staff put up shutters on the community buildings, and owners moved golf carts from the causeway to higher ground. Lori took the nature center animals home.
At our house, we filled water bottles and secured the items under the house, as well as bringing in porch furniture. I took the swinging bird feeders down but lashed a tray feeder and a hummingbird feeder to the deck railing!
As the wind picked up, we had plenty of warning that the ferry would stop running at 6:30, and if anyone was planning to evacuate, now was the time.
