Stay safe, Chui. Looks like this one is zeroed in on you.

Current track threatens to put a dent into savings and checking accounts from florida to maine and "the islands".

For guys salty about my posts on hurricane preparation/evacuation........I may get my chance to show you how it's done.

Puerto Rico is sure to get some action and I really hope it doesn't swing into the gulf and further complicate disaster recovery resources for the gulf states.

Roughly 300k in this neighborhood.

Not bad and you don't shovel snow, but have to watch for alligators and hurricanes the newer constructions like this are more expensive, most of Canada;
hey,Chris i just noticed you are close to Tampa, ;the hurricane could pass through your area; why didn't you evacuate? not late, you can outrun it ;

[Chris79]

I was going to fly to Denver, but I renewed my sons passport which required his birth certificate, so I was unable to get him on a plane. I also have a lot of family who don't have the means to evac whom I feel somewhat responsible for.

I couldn't believe that the secondary roads were nearly empty.

It was an awesome alternative to the hellish stop and go on I95 and I75 with great scenery and sightseeing.

Another advantage was the availability of restrooms and food compared to having to pee on the side of I75 with an audience.

From the side roads we could catch glimpses of the interstate highways packed with cars and a startling amount of cars on the shoulders out of fuel with the roadside assistance guys going from stopped car yo the next stopped car like hummingbirds giving them enough fuel to get to the next exit.

We put two non leaking gas cans in the trunk which we would have needed if we sat idling on  the interstates for 3 days but
the small towns had short lines for fuel.

In the short times we were on the interstates we saw a lot of light rear enders and chumps recklessly streaking down the shoulders.

Now the trick will be judging the correct time to come back but I believe people returning to florida will not be compressed into the tiny 3 day time window that they were during evacuation.

Of course, gonna have a pretty strong storm here in atlanta on tuesday.

Those pics of the islands are intense........hope everybody is well.
