Florida hurricane

[Sonik Wiz]

I don't live in a mandatory evacuation zone....better than save the Wales...or leave the gun and take the cannoli

I visited Cardiff Wales some time ago. I do not believe they are in danger. Hope the best for you too.

Man, Florida was a dream destination, now with the prices of everything and the amount of hurricanes it's become a nightmare destination.

CNN lists evacuation areas mandated by the Governor of Florida [scroll down for list]

But... I guess not you? Save the Oppo's. Save the Oppo's.

Sound advice @Clint Eastwood because the one that you sold to me is not for sale.

I'm 30 miles inland from the gulf and 75 miles north of Tampa in the circle at the bottom don't have to worry about storm surge but it's going to get windy.

Getting final preparations for the storm....it's beautiful today...sunny in the high 70's...you would never know that a storm is approaching...good luck to all in the affected areas...I'm calling in the force and all available Jedi Masters...

Yeah it's pretty nice up my way as well. For now anyway.

I'm in the Orlando area and it's been hot and sunny most all day.
I was walking around the park looking for anything that didn't get well secured last week and sweating my butt off.. LOL It's just starting to cloud over a bit but still mostly clear.

I asked my good friend if his sister-in-law and brother-in-law were in Florida already. He said that his sister-in-law was on her way to Florida today (Jupiter on the east coast). His brother-in-law and family are already down there in that same area and on the Intracoastal. They are not leaving. I guess that snowbirds are more averse to Jersey autumn / winter weather than they are to Florida hurricanes.

As Clinty intimated, one of the big obstacles facing residents who haven’t fully recovered from Helene, is the amount of debris still littering the streets which hasn’t been picked up. Milton is poised to hit the West Coast as a CAT 3 with up to 12 foot storm surges and rain amounts up to 15 inches. At least most residents are heeding the warnings and evacuating!

I thought of your post today when I was at Costco and a car that was pulling into Costco had Canada license plates....it was sunny and 74 degrees and they had just gassed up at $2.78 a gallon for regular gas....since Covid and a massive amount of people coming here to Florida...yes prices have gone up...but where hasn't that happened?....and I like to NOT pay state taxes....and yes this year there are more storms than usual...I've lived here 30years and only left my residence 1 time...

Canada is a beautiful country but it's WAY too cold for me most of the year....I can wear shorts here just about all year..

I just got a text from my friend who decided to drive to Orlando to get away from the storm...it has taken her 2/12 hours to travel what is normally 45 minutes...now she is going 5 miles an hour on the interstate

I knew it was going to be bad....but I had no idea it was this bad....it took my friends over 11 hours to go a little over a 100 miles!

Once you get acclimated to that warmth, there's no going back.

[P.S. But do Oppos sound better in cold weather climates or warm weather climates? @4-earredwonder Ralphy?]

And ironically Orlando is poised to get hit by Milton

I know, I would have headed way south like Miami or close to it. I lived in the Tampa bay area for 9 years. It was never like this in the entire time I was there.
