You forgot the hurricane was rushing over the border in search of a better life.

Pretty sure if Desantis redirected it, the left would want to sue him.

Stay safe fellas! 🙏

This is not gonna be a giant MEH.

Head for the bunker if in the eye wall path.

DMV is in the near crosshairs, then rfenst, them MACSonville.

Another other regular posters in the Cone of Uncertainty?

Yeah... prayers up for DMV and Rfenst. It's slightly windy this morning here in Macsonville (I love it!). No rain yet but the skies look ominous.

Mrs. and I have been watching/listening to Tampa & Miami news stations on the incoming IAN... These Meteorologist's are having a field day.. Like collage kids at a Frat Party with a bag of Molly!!! 🤦

Got family in the Keys, Clearwater/St.Pete and Orlando areas... Thoughts and Prayers for all ya Floridians!!! and the Blue Hairs who transport for the winter!!!

Prayers for all in the COU.

This is going to be a big one for Orlando now. Lots of moving factors to really know for certain exactly what to expect. Raining all the time. No winds - yet. Supposed to get 10"-20" of rain over the next 36 hours. Continually lowering pool water close to 6" in anticipation. Also got a bag of powder chlorine shock to keep the chlorine levels up tomorrow or Thursday. I am worried that my pool, pool deck, back porch, etc. will flood into the house. Unfortunately, I don't think we have flood coverage for that (rising water") because we don't live in even a 100 year flood zone and we are about 4- feet above the nearby lake. Wife started bringing in all the outdoor plants and stuff She has friend coming over move the bigger furniture since I cannot do much of anything for at least four more weeks.

Keeping you and all in our prayers. 🙏

Hunker down, Robert.

Imagine keeping cell phones fully charged would be a high priority.

Can’t fathom being a newbie and take on a hurricane.

Umm If'n the Cell Towers get blown away them cell phones aint gunna do nothing cept keep your butt warm... 🇨🇮

Get a landline?

Nah, I'd say all those Operators have already bugged out too??


HAM Radio is the way to go!!! Oh one that runs on Batteries of course, or rig up one of those exercise bikes in the front room so the Mrs. can peddle her ass off to run current so ya'll can still check yer facebooks... 🇨🇮

If power goes out, cell towers will run on battery power for a bit. When that goes out, won't matter if you have a full charge.

Cars have USB ports... can charge my cell phone if needed.

Might be prudent for any car owner to have one of these in their trunk car for emergency.

It’s a small, compact and can be stored in the trunk along with jumper cables in case there is nobody around to jump start your car. It's small enough to store in a glove box but I'm not sure I would want a large capacity Li-ion battery sitting in the passenger compartment especially in the baking summer heat. I’ve used it to jump start a previous commuter car and a friend’s smaller SUV. I was surprised that such a small thing would work but I’ve only used in on smaller engines. Probably wouldn’t work on a bigger block or a diesel engine. It also doubles as an additional source to charge phones and stuff with its USB outlets.

Also had something similar to this that I kept at home.

Larger and more balls if needed to jump a larger engine. Air compressor to top off your tires in your driveway rather than paying $2.00 at a gas station. Also has USB charging ports.
