One theory, traffic is going to lighten up over time.

Broward-palm beach-MD schools canceled Thursday-Friday. Lots of folks grabbing kids and NB right now and probably first thing in morning.


We're @ 80% bugging out of wellington Friday at 8am.

Praying for a Matthew like east jog.

ST. Thomas? You'll be lucky if there's a runway left!

When I was there last century it was just a little spit of rocks pushed out into the ocean made from the mountain they had blasted away at the other end.

And the terminal appeared to be built of tin and pallets they had fished out of the ocean.....

I'm on the highest ground.   Not even a Class D I think.  

House is strong.   Strong like ox.
New construction (add on) meant newest codes all around so that works out for us as opposed most neighbors.  Every window with sliders both doors rated.  Roof attached so well the gutter guy got pissed working on the gutters two days ago. (No brackets, bolts.)


Filled with supplies for weeks.  

And family.
 Family with guns.  
And kids.  
Kids with kindles.


Really really looking forward to quality family time.  Power or not.

Word is power is not if but when.   So be it.   Give the crews time.   Coolers and freezers are ready.   Not like we haven't sweat before.

I don't understand those who left their homes.  Especially those who drove.   When the f do they think they'll be able to come back?

Lakeplace doublewide 23' above sea level 4 mi from salt springs, 9 mi from the St Johns and 38 mi from the Atlantic. Hoping for the best. Tampa place 19' above sea level and 1 mi from the bay to the east and 1.4 mi from the bay to the west. All preps done but plywood hung over openings. Hope we're not screwed by one coast or the other or if it comes up the middle both places.

St Pete checking in.
I went out to stock up on hurricane supplies, cigars and booze in abundance for the hurricane party. Sheriff Bob called for "A" zone evacuations 6AM tomorrow.
I'm in a no evac area and I'm expecting nothing more than tropical storm conditions.
I saw only two gas stations had gas, out of the ten I passed while collecting supplies.

Wtf does mandatory evacuation mean anyways? Is it illegal to stay put?
