    I've got screen caps of the last position of several storms before the power went out, that look just like post#3 but closer, and it's my house!
  2. I have gas for the generator. Gas for the cook stove. I'm still picking up the yard stuff and watching. Haven't put the plywood up yet. They have no idea where this storm will go. The hurricanes rarely ever follow the NHC track. It sucks, I have to work Sunday in Orlando but that depends on which way this thing moves.

    What was it that Wille Nelson said "Marriage and divorce is like a hurricane, at first there's a lot of sucking and blowing going on then you lose your house".
    Stay safe everyone, I hope this one doesn't linger too long.

    Hurricane Freud has some nads!

    If climate scientists all agree there is MMGW then why can't they agree on what track the storm will take?

    And do something with the scrap pile!!!!
    Oh and pull compressor inside.

    So my wife wants me to push the charger outside and put her SUV in garage!

      She wasn't joking ! She even called it a POS and said the newer car needs to be protected!
      I told her to watch it ,me and her cousin are becoming close and she's 10 years younger! And a only 110-120#'s or so . I told her a new model might be a good idea!!!

      We've been trusting these storm models a lot in recent years and all of Florida has been in this "error cone". The models really screwed up on this storm early on and we're hoping to rely on them now to make decisions. People around here are going crazy. I think the news stations try to stir people up with these big red animations of satellite pics and red cones of where the storm could be.
      Got an email from insurance company that said they would reimburse expenses of having car stored to a safe storage facility. Would not mind moving, but nothing is available right now. Hoping for the best.

      If I lived in an area that can suffer storm surge I'd strongly consider taking the car to a multi level parking structure.... Yes it might be exposed to flying debris but thats allot less likely to do serious damage than being flooded...

      so, so sorry to hear that shit

      well it's the annual hurricane season
      & yet Florida is getting hit again
      (unfortunately it's sort of common, the past few decades,
      as long as I can remember)

      stay safe
      & try to stay dry
      go to higher land

      hope all the Floridians come out this as well as possible

      sucks for Florida to go thru that shit every damn year

      you people will be in our thoughts

    • Evacuation is always a problem. We stayed for Irma but left when Matthew started heading for us. We were on the road for 12 hours. I swore I'd rather die than do that again ha ha. Irma we stayed and we didn't even lose power during the whole storm. Were 9 houses from the Atlantic ocean so we are watching this one. I have some family over in St Pete maybe we'll go over there if we have to.

      looks like projected track is now off the East coast

      of course with Irma, as it neared my area it was clear the track was wrong but the NWS refused to alter it and instead of the eye 20 miles away as per the track, it was less than 5, and they still didn't alter the track.
