Hello Gulf state neighbor. One thing you can count on.... The Cajun Navy will be there to help with recovery before FEMA. I live near Houston and they are always the first non-locals on the scene to help. I love those guys and gals.
Ive looked into joining the Cajun Navy, they are run incredibly well. They are proof that people only think we need a big federal government when we can handle taking care of our fellow Americans.
For anyone that may require assistance, double check how the Cajun Navy gets reports and dispatches just in case you need assistance after the storm, i think it usually is from Facebook posts.
So true and hats off to you fren. Those people are heroes.
Yeah I I have a friend down in Florida. He tells me it looks like an average storm nothing to worry about if you’re properly prepared… According to him though the FL fake news is making it sound worse than it is 🤠
My brother who lives there is telling me the same thing
I live there and this is normal.
I grew up in South Carolina myself. Live in south Georgia now. They have power trucks lined up at a wal-mart in Brunswick GA already and have canceled all activities in our boonies area for Thursday already. And possibly closing my work. This may be a typical " storm" for "us" , but for some reason they are taking it to the extreme! Idk.
but muh climate change!
Haha, yes, climate change! I tried throwing a handful of cash into the wind gusts last night but I don't think it was enough. I'm going to the ATM later today to get more to appease the wind gods.
I disagree. This is something I am hearing a lot, and it concerns me. Florida is absolutely saturated and this storm is bringing unprecedented rainfall and winds far inland.
It’s going to be catastrophic.
How did your friend make out?
Pretty good from what I hear... Some storm damage but other than that fine 🙂
Good news!
Left Central FL at 5am heading to KY on a planned trip. Passed hundreds of buckets trucks, wood chippers and EMT trucks heading S on I-75. Also seen a hotel on GA/FL boarder with a parking lot filled with buckets trucks. Seems well coordinated and already pre staged. These are our true heroes driving into the eye of the Storm literally. God Bless you all......
Something they never tell you: Getting the grid back up is great and all, but if your roof was damaged and the inner walls/wiring/insulation in your house got soaked - they CANNOT turn the power back on to that house. You will have to do without unless and until you can strip the place down to the studs and completely rebuild it.
Also, there are a whole lot of new people in FL right now who don't have a clue what it's really like. That's going to be a problem, too.

Agree! I drove to Tampa and back to NC yesterday. 22 hours. But the staging is so apparent. I passed a few hundred bucket trucks etc.
My people are out!
Tampa bay area here; prepared as best can be. Need to lower pool water as we could be looking at minimum of 12-15" rain in 48 hours. House is surrounded by oak trees so praying they remain standing. Hoping Beach residents take this seriously and evacuate. Will definitely be ugly out there. Police not letting anybody on beaches without proof of ID. Will miss you guys while I'm offline.
Sister's in Tampa too. Praying for you all.🙏
I hope you have a chainsaw. If those oak trees come down you will need one. Good luck finding one if you don't already have one. I pray they don't come down on your home or car or you for that matter. Hugo came through downtown Charlotte back in the 90's. It was still a cat 1 punching over 90 mph winds sustained. Three and two hundred year old oak trees were ripped up by the roots. The sound of a mighty oak falling outside your window is terrifying. You speaking about oak trees in the storm well, I must still have a little PTSD. God's speed.
hubby is in Orlando to help his elderly dad through the storm if it hits, I will post any interesting info he feeds me.
Friend of mine is down in St. Pete/Sarasota.
Direct path of the eye of the storm.
Stay safe fren!
I am 10 min north of St Pete. I had water coming over the seawall last moon cycle and this cycle is only 1 inch less. It could be bad, or it could do what Irma did and suck the water out of the bay. Prayers for all. luckily I bugged out last night and now near Miami.
Not currently. Have a friend who is, but he's chill. We've had hurricane's before. Yes, be prepared, but not scared.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Stay Safe!
u/#peperain

HAHA THAT THROW BACK THOUGH!
REMEMBER WHEN 5 SUPER STORMS (TRADEMARK MUH GLOBAL WARMING XXXTREME WEATHER)
ALL AMPLIFIED AND STEERED DIRECTLY INTO THE GULF
ENDING WITH THIS MASSIVE SKULL SHAPED STORM
“HARVEY”

THEN WE HAD TRUMP DRAW HIS FIRST MASSIVE AIR Q BEFORE WE EVEN KNEW Q EXISTED AND ANNOUNCED
“CALM BEFORE THE STORM”
THEN Q MAKES HIS FIRST POST THE SAME DAY DURHAM IS PUT INTO PLACE?
NCSWIC
PAIN
I live in the Daytona Beach area. Supposedly, when it reaches me it'll be a cat 1. Right now, it's still near Cuba, so it could change. You really don't the true direction or strength until it's 5-10 hours away lol.
One hurricane a few years ago (can't remember which one), we didn't start preparing windows or food until the hurricane was 6 hours away and it was for sure going to be a cat 3-4. Another hurricane turned out to be a cat 1 when it got to us, we didn't even bother closing the garage door lol.
Right now, I'm house sitting for family, so I'm not at my own house to prep there, my brother's there, but he's pretty much a space-case. Luckily, my family's house I'm in now is pretty hurricane proof.
In Seminole County. Just got our Hurricane Warning. We are looking at 2 days of sustained winds and we are in a heavily wooded neighborhood with lots of pine and oak trees that haven’t really been stressed since 2004. Could be bad here.
We are boarding up our new, exterior-exposed (house is an H-shape) windows with some of the lightweight plastic panels that we bought a few years ago when we realized that we needed something lighter as we get older and have no strong, athletic daughters to help us board up.
Hopefully it is totally overkill but having gotten the eyewall of Charley in 2004 (which devastated our neighborhood with all of the tornadoes in the eyewall), we are playing it safe.
Luckily, it looks like the hurricane will lessen once on land, which is good news for us in the Central East. But definitely don't want to mess around with trees and strong winds, especially oaks trees, I've seen them just completely uproot taking the ground with them. Good luck and be safe ❤️
You too!
Yep, Tampa Bay. Everyone stay safe, a lot can change in 24hrs. Remember the weather reporters believe in climate change, so I question everything they say. My biggest concern is how I convince my dachshunds to go out in the hurricane.😏
Have a garage? Kiddie pool with sand. Doggie litter box.
Jacksonville, It Gon Rain
kek nice reference

Kek
Yes.
This made me laugh. In Florida, models all over the place since yesterday. Prepared and ready.
Sitting here watching the weather on the lanai and drinking a glass of wine before the rains come...wifey & I prepped with foodstuffs, propane for grill and enough food & tp too last awhile...
IOW: we be good to go and bring it!!!!! Prayers for the ones who will be getting it first in Tampa and the low lying areas!!!!!
North and a bit west of lakeland. Cloudy amd warm atm. All battened down. L
Northeast FL. Gonna hunker down and pray for those on the Gulf Coast.
It'll barely be a cat 1 when it hits land. Most likely a tropical storm. Media has brainwashed the sheep well. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2022-09-27-hurricane-ian-forecast-landfall-cuba-florida-tampa
If you look at the map Cat 1 is well after the eye has hit the coast as a cat 4. They are saying Sarasota area now.
Yup, exactly! Tampa area probably gonna get rough, but otherwise once it gets to land its starts to lose strength. Media over exaggerates because fear makes people panic buy. I was gonna order some food and pet stuff from Walmart and all pickup/delivery time slots are completely full until Saturday kek.
Sarasota/Manatee here, got the shutters up and plenty of snacks. Supposed to be in the path of the eye
Was there no mandated evacuations there?
Even in the boonies of South Georgia, I am. Already having internet issues, and work will probably be closed Friday. Had Tropical wind warnings all day today already. Stay safe frens who are in direct path. God bless and speed!
Dry Tortugas are about to get mowed over with a direct hit.
Hang in there Fort Jefferson!!
Ruskin (Hillsborough) resident here. The family has plenty of water/food and shutters were bolted down yesterday. I'm a first responder though, so I'm sitting at work doing absolutely nothing.
I just lost power. I’m in Tampa. So annoying, it’s not even windy. Just some steady rain. Was just about to charge my phone and make another cuppa. Lame. So the latest is that it is heading toward Ft Myers/Venice, possibly even more south.
And the chorus of generators begins. Babies can’t even wait a few minutes. Let’s all use our fuel up right away!
How'd u lose power if it hasn't hit yet?
The Teco report said vegetation impacted their equipment. Something like that. It’s back on.
Taco report kek
I'm in Parrish, right in the track. I have my shutters up thanks to some help from neighbors. Just hunkering down now.
The primaries are over, unless there's another election going on somewhere in Florida.
I don't think it'll affect the election too much, Florida usually bounces back pretty quickly with hurricanes. So far, it doesn't look like it's gonna be too bad, once it reaches Tampa it'll start to lose power once it's on land.
