Any expected Hurricane Irma impact?
Don't remember which side your farm is on so wondering if there is any expected impact from hurricane Irma?
Be safe.

Stay safe. I have family in Ruskin who didn't leave. T hey are in the zone which is calling for high storm surge. Good luck with this.

Glad you're OK, Richard. Been thinking about you. We've got friends out in Belleair Beach, and my folks are on the other coast in Ponte Vedra Beach. Our friends in the Tampa area were very fortunate and had very little damage. Don't yet know about my folks place, though. They're still at their inland place, the beaches are closed.

Yeah from everything I've read the Keys got hit really hard. Scary part is how long to reopen US 1 to resupply? Probably going to have to have supplies boatlifted/airlifted. Be safe. All y'all down there are in our thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear you are safe and running with the genny. Any business interrupt? Not just with you but shipping, etc. I am within a few weeks of ordering a 150g package. I was thinking to hold off or go another route but then I figure y'all might need the business.

Having lived here most of my life, I was ready....had the trucks filled up....and 250 gallons of diesel ready for the generator. I am the only one with power in my neck of the woods. Going on day three here....my neighbors not so lucky. Ready to ship rock as usual!

My buddy in Islamorada somehow got his power back, one of the very few in the Keys to have power. South of Islamorada is truly just devastated. He says the smell is intense and hard to take. They are finding bodies.....lots of rotting fish/animals everywhere. His old style flip phone is the only working one he knows of. No cable/internet so I supply whatever info I find here. Water just two hours a day, and not potable. The Keys will be a long time coming back.

I just got power back here in Orlando last night. Hoping you guys aren't too far behind. And looks like everything in my tank made it through ok minus one or two corals.

The company my wife works for, Hooper Corporation, sent over 60 trucks down there to get the lights back on. Good luck with getting things back in order!
