The count:
Miles driven: 75
Steps walked: 3445
Calorie units: 1494 (with some cheating)
Not much to tell, well, in any detail, about Day 4: we spent the day 1) figuring out where the tropical storm cum hurricane was going and when, 2) figuring out where to settle to avoid it, 3) settling to avoid it.
Breakfast was donuts and a bagel sandwich on the run; lunch was sandwiches in the apartment; dinner was picked up Panera (it was raining hard then).
The storm tracked all day towards us up the west coast of Florida. We are staying in Siesta Key, about an hour south of St. Petersburg (or west of Sarasota), less than a block from the ocean. Which can be good news, but can be bad (in this case).
We were allowed into the apartment 3 hours early, having stopped on the way for groceries, and settled in. It rained so hard on the interstate coming down that everyone had to stop in the middle of the road once. 😕
During the NBA game at 11, the local weather came on and said Elsa was now a hurricane and it was 25 miles off Siesta Key. Great!
At 6 this morning, RR got up, walked around the bed and said “I guess the roof didn’t blow off in the night.”
And so we made it through.
And now to the beach.
