As for bugging out, this traffic jam is about 1 mile from my house.

Pretty cool website to track storms live. Actual go pro cam storm chaser footage. So when the storm gets closer to florida there will be more truck icons with green circle meaning active. Click and watch.

Useful for anyone in the US wanting to keep an eye on storms.

I take I-75 to work everyday and North bound is getting thick here, still flowing, but thick. I heard a lady on the radio saying the closest hotel room she could find was near St. Louis!!!!!:shocking:

There are some spaghetti models that show the storm going up the coast but not directly hitting Miami, man that would be a bonus for sure. Even if it's just 50 miles off the coast that makes a HUGE difference.

Jesus - sounds like a fucking nightmare. Traffic all jammed up heading north, no gas and supplies scarce. Good luck guys, hope everyone stays sane and safe.

We've had Harvey fuck up Texas, Irma potentially going to smash into Florida, Jose going into the Carolinas and Katia rampaging through Mexico. This could be me out of a job.

We'll be making our decision tomorrow and will leave early Sat morn.

Based on latest models of Irma heading from Miami to Orlando and the expected decrease, we'll stay if she stays a Cat 2 when she hits us. By tomorrow if she looks like a Cat 3 around Tampa and head west... panhandle and the Bama and Mississippi.

If it was that easy..........right now it's not.

My friend if it's a 3 or 4 sit tight. If it's a 5 and you can shutter the house sit tight or try to leave but at this stage...........thats a below average plan.

If you flee remember that there is very, very little gas available right now. So you are not getting any further than your one tank will take you.

I have my garage set up as my personal rescue station..........and it's cement block so I can be assured it's safe. I'll close it down and rescue myself.

I am finishing it tomorrow.

A place to take a shit, baby wipes and toilet paper at hand. Piss too.

I have enough non perishables to last a few days. Tomorrow I'm going to make high value foods that can be kept cold and eaten cold like tuna salad and scrambled eggs and will place them in a cooler of ice.

One thing I need to figure out is how to get pron during Irma. I have everything else covered.

My data plan is hindering me here.

Yeah, pretty sure we're gonna stay. Got all that stuff, but we'll see if we got enough.

As for your pron... you're old enough to remember magazines... LOL
