I'm staying. No where to go that isn't 600 miles away..(north). Besides, with interstate traffic moving at about 5mph, the hurricane is moving faster at 16mph. Sounds like a losing proposition to me.

Thanks for the thought.

I've been watching this storm tracker for the past two days (use the drop-down menu, upper left to switch to Irma) :
http://project.wnyc.org/hurricane-tracker/

And not liking it's path moving more and more west, Tampa Bay, where i have a couple of close friends. A friend of mine in Gulfport just emailed me back and is frantically trying to prepare before heading out of her 1st floor coastal apartment. I asked her to try to find a bus ticket to get to my place. This is really not good and the window is closing quickly for an escape.

Stay safe jwhop

You're staying? Damn. I saw pictures of empty store shelves, and that storm is massive.

I have friends who are worried about friends and family down there. The only friend I can think of, in Florida, is going on vacation - she's already flown out of there.

Go another 600 miles north and we can put you up for an Autumn in MI!

I hope you are 12 stories up as the west side storm surge sounds overwhelming.

We have kin in Jacksonville and they are staying. Sadly, so are friends in Fort Myers & that really worries me.

And meanwhile prayers for people from Oregon to montana and all points north where fires rage and breathing is difficult. Ask any of the northerners about global warming ..or supposed nonwarming .

I heard its actually dissipating. Many people sitting tight. Apparently Trump has a hotel full of "hurricane tourists" curious to watch from their luxury suite windows

Thanks cat, but I havent lived in FL for awhile now. I just suggested to an old neighbor of mine in the Tampa area to start making more ice and filling up freezing containers of water. Not telling how long power will be out and I know some of his medication (eye drops) needs to stay refrigerated.

No way! That's pretty sick, considering the danger that people are in, if the storm increases again.

Well, the last 5 tracking reports show Irma is going to blow right through my back yard.

My home is 1.5 feet above sea level and 5-8 feet of water surge is forecasted for this area.

Moving 10 miles inland to higher ground early tomorrow..Sunday.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Take care.. and watch out for your homegrown nut jobs. What could go wrong?

Apparently another group is going to try a modern day thumb-in-dike act.. trying to stall Irma with an army of blow dryers! Not sure if they think they'll push her away or dry her out...🤣

Glad to hear that.
10 miles might be enough.

Your drawbridges out/home might be taken out.
Do you have an RV?

I have my eyes & ears to CNN (yes jwhop CNN) for updates.

So far I understand not as bad as expected but the damage and people without power is overwhelming. Almost 6 million.

MI has sent 1000 national Guards down along with local big power companies sending workers and equipment..

God Bless you Floridians
