Just heard that over 700 folks from the Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay
will be moved to Florida.
Yep - GITMO may take a direct lick.

The US will move 700 employees and their families from its Guantanamo Bay naval base Sunday as Hurricane Matthew inched toward Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba.
Military planes will airlift people from the base in Cuba to various locations in Florida, including Miami, Pensacola and Jacksonville. Family pets will join the mandatory evacuations, base officials said.
Those getting evacuated are mostly nonessential personnel; there no plans to evacuate the 61 prisoners detained at the facility that holds terror suspects.
"Remaining personnel and their families will be taking shelter in their homes or designated locations," base officials said in a statement.

And get the he'll out of there. 
Thinking of you. 
to come for a week but we're sticking it out. We'll survive and pick up the pieces.
Noticed that one of the feral cats is hurt but he's not tame enough to trust me to check him out. I think he has a broken leg. I'll go outside in a bit and see if he'll let me examine him. We're more worried about them than us. The kind of rain expected is bad news for them and they never stay on the patio once there's lightning and thunder.
Thanks
