they just updated the path..may come in above Tallahassee instead, it shifted a bit north.... things can change...like it did for Hurricane Charlie, was to come in over Tampa but shifted and came in over Ft Myers and south of Tampa.

We will still get the bands and wind though for the next 48-72 hours areas have flooding, tornadoes.... winds

We are also under a hurricane watch.... Pasco County and North.

cindy, that's exactly why we don't board up sooner than the day before. I was born in FL so have 50+ years of hurricane experience. After that nonsense in 2004 with back-to-back hurricanes, we were THIS (fingers close together) close to moving out of FL. We'll see what the projections are in the morning and act accordingly. Even if we don't get a direct NE wind hit, we will still board up the aviary. We'll still get the bands with very gusty winds.

Stuart, my other concern with enclosing the aviary is the moisture. It is not only hot here, our humidity is through the roof. It just sounds like a breeding ground for lots of bad stuff. Wonder how my husband would feel about turning a bedroom into a bird room.

I have two x-bedrooms now birdrooms, one has a walk-in aviary in it...... The girls are grown and the rooms sat empty, could not have an outdoor one here so we use the two rooms.

Tell hubby he can sleep in the aviary in the rain. **snicker**

Babs, LOL! When he and I first started dating, he "didn't like dogs". After a few comments, I finally told him "If you make me choose between you or the dog, I promise you that you will not like the outcome!"

Hee hee! Bill had a FIT when I bought our pitbull 7 years ago. Now that dog is completely "his woman". I call her his "wife". Dog wont even let me talk to him without leaping into his lap and smooshing her face up against him in an attempt to make him stop talking to me.

Mmm....wouldn't of onestly thought you'd get that much moisture, I've been using flights like I've explained for over 30 years with not a single problem, some times those humidity levels can actually help with breeding at times
If it's to hot and dry all you end up with is eggs that become dead in shell where the air is so hot and dry,
So sometimes during the summer if there is a little moisture it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing

Incidentally having a birdroom indoors is absolutely fine , in my other house before I moved about 4 years ago just down the rd I had me birdroom upstairs in a spare bedroom and I have to say that it was very convenient and effective,
My breeding results was equally as good as having a birdroom outside
