Hurricane Irma

Yea water has been impossible to find since Friday evening. Luckily we got about a dozen gallons in addition to a bunch of empty gallon jugs I can fill up at the house with filtered tap water - better than nothing. Too early to say for certain yet but I`ll probably head North Friday evening.

I`m trying to figure out how far north...... GA, TN or ? possibly Orlando.

Good thing about being an autopian, you probably have at least two wash buckets you can fill, maybe more ;-) Also your water heater, while not the perfect drinking water choice, does have a whole lot of water in it, should you need it. TBH, after having gone through this with Fran in 96, after the storm hits, probably want to shut the water off to the house for a while too, the water quality usually goes to crap and they have boil orders. Boil order=stay away from that stuff and keep it out of your pipes.
 
Stay safe Ron, Ray, Paul and all you other fellow Floridians. Hopefully it`ll pull a Matthew and do minimal damage, although that doesn`t look likely at the moment.

We`ll be riding it out in Melbourne, but if any of you are up this way and need anything feel free to reach out. Otherwise be safe and don`t forget the alcohol!
 
Best wishes to everyone in FLA, stay safe and prep your belongings just in case. I`m staying in touch with my family in Puerto Rico and people are very worried due to predictions of 3 months without power afterwards (yes the power grid infrastructure sucks) . Last hurricane they had, my friend said they spent almost 2 months with zero power. Good thing is that most homes are concrete so winds are no issue, it`s the aftermath with power and possibly water.
 
they just closed our very large Tampa office and sent everyone home

1/3 of the claims organization

they told the rest of us "thanks in advance" and basically buckle up because it`s gonna be crazy for a while
 
Folks I have room in GA. A large size back yard for camping too! Seriously if anyone needs a place DM me. I think dekalb county where I am is sadly now part of the path but they said it will be a category 1 by the time it reaches here. Ive heard that in Atlanta and around hotels are like 95% booked up and the prices are crazy.

I am pretty sure this is a Autopian, just not sure which one of you Texans this was. Now you Floridians don`t get any bright idea`s.

Already starting to get stir-crazy and we still have until tomorrow night before the storm hits..

And the east coast looks like it`ll be spared, but let`s hope it keeps pushing west so the west coast avoids the brunt of the storm.

By the way, I`d still take this over snow. :D

Getting a little stir crazy in O`town too! Thankfully here is college football to watch today, and free NFL Sunday Ticket tomorrow (for as long as the power stays on!).
And yes, this is better than snow!
