if it can be of any reassurance, by the time it makes it up your way, IF indeed it makes it up your way, it should be a tropical storm. hopefully you will not be seeing a hurricane at all. tropical storms are no fun but if it does make that trajectory, it will have made landfall before and should disorganize enough that rains will be scattered rather than concentrated.
i have been monitoring the satellite imaging on wunderground. it has just veered a tad west again, sort of sharply from the forecast track. enough that i am like, whaa??? although it is STILL forecast to continue north, with this being a "kink" in its path, i can't help thinking if the kink were a true veer, the monster will crash and burn in south florida. oh so reassuring because of course i don't know anyone there either

anyway, maybe just try to think in terms of getting some rainy weather, and plan for that. if you can sandbag the entrance from the porch to your apartment, it might be a good safety measure... you can ask the building if they will do that FOR YOU - selling point --> it is in their interest to avoid structural damage.
hang in there... it will be ok, really.

thanks....you made me feel better....i don't think the building will do anything..also my futon is on the floor...my rugs are scatter rugs so i can pick them up if need be. i might ask the building to snake out my drain again although i had them do it three weeks ago. I will look for that site you mentioned....egads water past your knees-in the bahamas?
love you
