Well do you load up and leave Florida NOW or do you wait it out?

We're in Lake Worth. We've got all our preps and are going to stick it out. If we have to, we can easily evacuate to Cape Coral.

Not really worried about looters, since our house is not easily accessible. I'm more worried about some lost gator crawling up out of the canal behind the house and hiding in the pool.

Went to Home Depot this morning to try to find some things for an elderly neighbor. It was worse than the worst Black Friday I've ever seen. It was a zoo. They were out of everything.

The manager at Tractor Supply is a fellow Moose. He says he's expecting a truck of hurricane supplies tomorrow and will call us when it gets there so we have a head start.

Not sure it's going to hit us, but prayers would be appreciated, nonetheless.

 

I would not have a house in Miami. Does that answer count? Seriously, I do not like the beach enough to fight the Hurricanes. I live 300 miles from the coast and we still get horrendous weather when the Hurricanes hit the coast.

 

I'm in an Orlando suburb and we are going nowhere

 

We do have a home in the Miami area 1-2 miles from the bay. Actually 22 feet above sea level (every foot counts). Our church is less than one mile from the bay.

A lot of people went to Naples/Ft. Myers (bad move) and a lot went to Orlando - which took 8 hours. We stayed in the area, which I'm glad we did. We didn't stay in our home, but further inland (but still in Miami) due to a potential storm surge, flooding and tree damage.

Thankfully, there was no damage to our home. Still no power due to the downed trees and power lines, but that's ok. Hopefully, by week's end. We are very thankful, as this could have been a lot worse. God is good.

 

Here's a picture of a football field with a couple of boats.

 

Glad you are OK.

 

Thanks!
