Who are Florida members?

[Jennifer M]

I'm in South Georgia and as of now it's projected to come straight towards us. Already stocked up and getting tortoises inside.

They canceled school for us Monday and Tuesday.

I'm in Florida, but not in harms way cause I'm in the panhandle and west of the capital, Tallahassee. But, I returned on the forum after nearly a year because I fear for the Aldabraman. He has a farm on the south west side of the peninsula. How does he move those animals to higher grounds? With the projected winds and storm surge, will his animals be safe? Has anyone heard from Greg?

Way back when I joined he mentioned a place in Ohio he evacuates too. I'm assuming he has done that, although I don't know if he still has that place available.
I haven't seen him on for a bit.

I heard it was downsized to a 3. Still nasty, but better then a 5. Hopefully it keeps downsizing and like ZEROPILOT said, hoes on out to sea.

@sibi I just check and Greg (Aldabraman) was last on the forum on Thursday morning.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Right now, the panhandle looks like it's directly in Wednesdays path.
But it should be much weaker by then.
The storm will gather some strength in the Florida straights. It's moving slower forward right now. Right in that hot water. Ideal for recovery before it hits the mainland west and south of here.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I've never met Aldabraman. But I'll help any member out that I can in any way I can.
It looks like most of my property will survive at this point.

Aha!!!! That makes sense!

Uhaul or horse/live stock trailer or two

Good to hear. Both things.

West is good, way west is even better for us on the FL east coast. Aldabras are probably pros at hunkering. They carry their own bunker. As for me, my RF's are tub manageable. Just have to listen to their scratching for a day or two. Good luck and safety to everybody.

And the smell.
Mine started pooping the moment they hit the totes.

 

[Foursteels]

I'm in Palm Beach County (Jupiter). Since the storm has changed its path it should be tolerable here. Just brought Vlad inside though since I let him out of pen and he headed for the door, which he's never done before.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

It's getting gusty now.
We still have electricity.

 

[teresaf]

So sorry to hear this. I hope you and your family and pets get through all this safely.

Under mandatory evacuation...
ROAD TRIP! : )

Have you seen the roads?

Oh how I miss Port Charlotte. We moved from there 3 years ago and want to go back so bad.

Are the roads crowded?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

They are jammed with vehicles.
Lots of them are out of gas.
