OK........all important and valuables are now packed and ready to go. vaping stuff has its own large bag! If we don't have to evacuate we are prepped to stay also........but, rather doubt that.....we'll leave a day before any mandatory order comes in....hope our hurricane windows do their job, cause the winds are going to be horrendous.
Good on Rick Scott!

I don't where ur at in florida, but it's looking really serious for anyone located on the beach in the Miami area. I checked hotels inland and they are all booked up. I have a friend in the tampa suburbs i'm thinking of staying with. According to Joe B a s t a r d i, the guru of all weather that matters (especially hurricanes), he's expecting Irma to be equivalent to some of the worse hurricanes from the 30s & 40s. He's not expecting it to hit the U.S. before Sunday. I'm planning on leaving Saturday morning.

I'm planning on leaving Saturday morning.
I vividly remember driving on I95 through Miami (from Lauderdale on the
way to Key West). I feared for my life... and was only 24 years old.
If it's the same - or worse, now - how does Friday evening sound to you?
Or during the dark of night?

"1 car length per 10mph"... right. I could see the fillings in the teeth
of people behind me at 70mph... and was STILL being passed.

Friday morning is a possibility. Nothing is set in stone. playing it by ear.

that guy has been wrong more times than i like to remember ;) keep an eye on this one: Search he can be touchy but his track record is good.


his last name was censored, so I had to separate it. No, no, no. The man is incredible. He called Harvey exactly. whatever, i'll know enough to know when to leave. I'm not going to push it.:)

Plans are changing swiftly.:D My brother called and said to meet him in Buckhead (Atlanta,ga). He said he would book a 5 star hotel and we could eat and party ourselves away for the wknd. If you have never been to Buckhead, it's an incredible part of Atlanta. Killer food and nitelife. And after this, hopefully i'll be able to return to my condo in florida... but i'm not holding my breath.

    LOL! This just in!!!

    Mail carrier just handed me a big 'ol package of those Small Padded
    Flat Rate Envelopes. ('Cuz I made multiple orders... think there are
    40 of them in this box.)

    They are not even FROM the USPS!!!

    "Victory Packaging, LP"
    Leetsdale, PA

    But the BOXES come from the USPS.

    Now have envelopes to use as bubble wrap. :D I do not
    NEED 40 of them.

    That's not far from me. Kind of a sleazy part of town, but it's beside the railroad tracks along the Ohio River. How strange!!! o_O

    Wherever you go, Pepper, stay safe. And you, too, Gracie. :wub:

    Good evening and goodnight Snails. Sleep well, pleasant dreams and a better tomorrow for all :)
