Official Florida is Fucked Hurricane thread

Maybe some Mickey Mouse umbrellas should be in their travel plans. On the plus side mosquitoes tend not to be a problem in hurricane winds.

I'm getting a really earlier start on things. Last storm I started running out of generator fuel after four days and had to go for a tedious fuel run trying to find gas through lots of non working traffic lights and long lines at the few stations open with gas. While I was out I picked up two more 5 gallon gas cans so now I have eight 5 gallon cans full plus another 7.5 in the generator. I think I'm going to pick up another four 5 gallon cans today which should give me about one week's worth or fuel. Oddly enough all the large grocery stores, pet stores, and Home Depot stores were open running on generators.

I'm really hoping that this thing dies out or turns or something but I'm planing on the worst and hoping for the best.

Wow this is unreal!! I watched the weather before I went to bed last night and there was no change. When I got on the pc this morning I was shocked with the headlines. It's looking like we will be alright here. Please all of you in South Florida get out and be careful, this is bad bad news for south Florida.

Please be careful with this thought. All of us in La thought the same thing about Katrina, thinking it would hit the Fl. panhandle. Pay close attention, and always be prepared.

Oh don't worry jennym I'm keeping a close eye on this storm. I know I'm not out of the woods yet. We are prepared already. Thanks!
