Did you catch anything from that hurricane that went up into Canada? Nova Scotia and Newfoundland haven't seen anything like that in years!
Who else is going to ride out this Hurricane?

...and don't forget that carnage images are your first priority. 
It's howling like a freight train. Outer eye wall coming near, and I;m freaking out a litttle. As an older guy I'm thinking if Im messed up how much is this gonna cost. Florida has a high hurricane deductable that you have to pay just to start. Lots of people just moved here, and have never exprienced this. Home depot must of made a fortune. They brought in truckloads of $40 plywood and it was going down fast.
Not really. I think I am far enough inland that it pretty much has lost most of it's intensity by the time we see anything.Did you catch anything from that hurricane that went up into Canada? Nova Scotia and Newfoundland haven't seen anything like that in years!
News just said the eye wall speeds are 155 MPH...
The house behind me have very large trees over them, and I can stand under my back porch roof and watch them bend. I can't stop going outside because I love this stuff.
It's kinda strange to be outside (not that I'm recommending this) and watch the trees twist and swirl during wind gusts.
I 've been through a few big storms down here.

We rode out Ida last year. That experience made me rethink staying for a Cat 4. It was bad. No real damage but just the worries. The eye passed about 5 miles from us. Slow moving as well so we had sustained 100+ winds for hours. I've been through Katrina, Andrew...a few others up to Cat 3 and no big deal other than inconvenience. This was totally different and we are 100 miles from the coast From now on anything above a 3 and I'm gone.
That was the biggest problem here, finding gas. I'd spend half a day driving up to 100 miles looking to fill my cans for the generator
I pray for you all and my in-laws there.
General and Pete if you see something worth taking pics of ( like cars floating by) post them pics.

I guess no power and internet. I did hear from a friend near Tampa/ St Pete. She said it's been hours of wind and rain. I told her it would be like Ida. Get the heck out lol
Yeah. I was relating what I told her yesterday. She said it's been hours and hours. She hasn't said if she regrets itToo late now! She'll have to shelter where she is as best she can.
