Who are Florida members?

[ZEROPILOT]

Hopefully @teresaf will be traveling by a bus to an evacuation shelter.

 

[Moozillion]

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

Oh, NO!

 

[tortdad]

Now is too late to leave. You'll be stuck on the roads in your car. It's best to hunker down at home at this point. The time to leave was 3-4 days ago.

10 pm
The power is still on in SW BROWARD county.
11 miles inland Fort Lauderdale.

Nope. Truck. We didn't attempt i-75 after a couple hours. Took back roads. We're hunkered down in Tallahassee now. Most gas stations we're out but once in a while we'd come across one. Lines were terrible. Trick is to carry extra gas in cans and fill up even if mostly full....

 

[teresaf]

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

Oh god, mine too! Had to clean them up at the gas station we found open.

So glad you're safer now!!!!

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Yes.
Be safe.
We'll try to slow the winds down for you.

Update....we've been getting tropical storm winds since 1:15 AM. Heavy rain too with occasional hurricane force winds.
Palm fronds all over the neighborhood, smaller tree branches etc. Nothing drastic.
The Lower Keys are in trouble and I'm worried about my Key mud turtle sites on Summerland, Cudjoe, Sugarloaf and the Torch Keys.
Worried about our friends in SW Florida.

Has anyone heard from Greg?

Has anyone heard from Greg?

Not that I know of. He was last on the forum Thursday morning.

 

[wellington]

If I remember correctly, Greg lives in or around Naples. I just hope the Gulf side got enough notice.
Hope all our members stay safe.

Just posted in Stay Safe. East central Fl breezy but good at 10 am.

Gusts here but no serious damage.
East coast shouldn't get much more battered than it is.
Let's now pray for the West coast members

 

[Bryan]

Stay safe ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Jordan M.]

Stay safe everyone! Praying for everyone in the path of this storm.

I live in Indian River County (east coast south FL), and at 3:50 pm, rain is getting heavier, wind is picking up, and the power is flickering on and off.

 

[StacieJ]

It's windy and raining in Tampa so far

The storm has decreased to a cat 2 but increased in speed up from 8 to 16 miles per hour.

Tree and fence down.
House is ok so far.
