batman10023 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 i hope this is fear mongering as well. i do feel like the govt is much more active about letting people know and getting evacuations in place the last 5-10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebag Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 My brother used to live near the gulf coast near Galveston - was down there visiting a few months after hurricane Ike came through - no way in he11 would I go through one of those storms. Here's a rule to live by - don't stand in the way of natural disasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Some good waves for the past few days but now its time to prepare. Got the bottled waters, gas, food and the plywood. It's a mad house out there trying to get this stuff. Now its time to start boarding up. Still haven't figured out if we're going to evacuate but I'm monitoring it. Hopefully it breaks up by the time its gets up here to Jax. Thanks to our neighbors down south for being on the front line and beating this beast down for everyone else. Still a chance this thing could turn or possibly go into the Gulf...but better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Florida dodged a bullet last year with Matthew and other hurricanes have made a turn in the past so who knows, but it just seems like more fear mongering. don't you remember sandy banging a left ? its all pressure and steering.

billo83 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I left Florida on Wednesday. I wasn't taking any chances. My friend booked a flight out for Saturday which I thought was taking too much of a risk. Sure enough JetBlue cancelled his flight on Wednesday and now he's stuck. He's only half a mile from the beach in Fort Lauderdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume it's more SAD shtick. Assume he's never been outside the US. Where are the pics? He posts pics for everything else he does. Remember his travel budget thread where he budgeted rooms for his family "in the tropics" for approx $300/week? And ignored all further questioning? Busted as usual.

Rangers9 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 My brother lives on the beach in Daytona. Almost everyone in his building has left. And he's going, too. 2nd time in either two or three years they've evacuated due to a hurricane. We like it there and considered eventually moving there too. But not now.
