GUys if you live anywhere in that area ;especially S Florida don't chance it leave if you can.
If it was that easy..........right now it's not.
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.
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.
