The Lurker Thread

[Splatnext]

Robino, where going to steal a couple of your ideas. I finished shuttle duty for the day, on the way home my son starts hmmm hawing around...ma...?do you have anything planned for tomorrow?No...why?
Could you go shopping for us tomorrow?.So I get to have all the fun of lugging cases of water for 6 people plus lots of canned goods and other non perishables, oh joy!

Just finished watching the news, I just got very mixed feelings, even if it doesn't hit us it is going to cause havoc somewhere else.

Hi y'all
Day wasn't as bad as I anticipated but there was much to be done and it's carried over to tomorrow.

I see Irma is making waves . Wish you'd go visit some grandkids @Robino1

Can you call him ?

I just talked to his mom, my sister. She's sure he has made arrangements.
He'll be on the boat until later, they're a couple or three hours behind us. I'd have to look.

There are other guides at the lodge from FL., I'm sure word has gotten around.
The lodge has a phone, I'm sure.
He doesn't have a signal there, he can call via Wi-Fi if their Wi-Fi isn't bogged down, which by the time he gets up to the lodge after cleaning fish, it usually is, so he just rarely even bothers.


At this point, I feel like it's beyond what we can do.
I'm fairly sure he's made arrangements. At least for his SUV and his boat.
He rents, and I know he has rental insurance, not sure if that covers floods or being completely washed away or not, but again, at this point, there's not much I can do from here.

The news conference I listened to basically suggested that if you planned to leave (Collier County) and go out of state, to try to do so yet tonight.
The longer the ones so far South wait, the more chance there is that a metropolitan area evacuates.

Basically more people than roads to carry them all out.
Their fear is that it will end up gridlocked and people will be stuck on the roads.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I hope and pray I'm wrong, and yeah, like Splat said, it's going to be devastating somewhere, just don't know where yet.

Oh boy, you're going to have a long day tomorrow.
I hope supplies hold out.

Glad it wasn't as bad, and yep, it'll be there tomorrow.
You can only do what you can do.


Oh, the phone at the lodge is a satellite phone, that's all there is available out there in the wilderness.
It runs something like $10 per minute.

That's what it costs the lodge. They don't charge anyone that.
Nothing cheap out in no man's land.

Hopefully they all do.
I just read that they're evacuating the animals from the shelters to temp foster homes.

Snipped:
The Florida Keys SPCA Key West and Marathon campuses are in the process of evacuating all animals out of the Keys for Hurricane Irma.
Officials at those County animal shelters are directing residents to evacuate with their pets. No animals can be boarded at those facilities.
The Key West shelter is evacuating 89 cats, 1 chicken, 24 dogs, 23 rabbits, 8 land turtles and 1 parakeet
The Marathon campus is evacuating 43 cats, 8 dogs, 4 water turtles, 1 box turtle and 3 iguanas.
The animals are being evacuated to a network of foster homes. The animals will be kept safe until after the storm. If the foster caretakers need to evacuate, they commit to evacuating with the animal.

Nipping at Irma's heels Jose...the news clips said the models take it away from the US, toward Bermuda.
