We're trying bro. It's real out here. Storm shuttered up in the house riding it out for the weekend. Hopefully all goes well!
Tampa FL here. Who evacuated because I didn't
Real talk, if there's a way you can get out you should. This might be the biggest hurricane in human history.

Either way, wish you guys the best of luck. Stay safe.

The crappy part is, I don't think we could even leave at this stage even if we wanted with the way it is out here now. Gas wouldn't make it out the state. Traffic is dead stop. @just_2swift and i are both from Tampa and I'm close to the water so it reallyyyy sucks. Options are soooo limited. Just hoping that it shifts more at the last minute or powers down over land, but it's looking rough...

At least we're uber stocked up for long power outages and all so there's that! -.-

I'm in Tennessee and its supposed to hit where I am but they've predicted it to only be 45mph winds still scary regardless.

I was just reading that this is the LARGEST FLORIDA EVACUATION in the state's history. They even have to have a police escort follow fuel trucks... well, they did at least. I would imagine that by now a lot of those lower areas have been evacuated.

They have we have a lot of folks from Miami here in Central Florida, I work at a retail store and I can tell you things have been insane here. Luckily tomorrow is the last day and we get through this storm once and for all and go back to the beautiful sunshine state.

oh my God. do they know when the storm is supposed to hit? I've never experiences a natural disaster but this still freaking me out! I can only imagine what those involved must be going through

The storm hits the Florida keys and South Florida around Sunday, it will go upward and hit the South Eastern states by Monday.

If it makes you feel better it hit the Caribbean islands pretty bad but apparently there still wasn't much loss of life. Same with Harvey. As long as you're sheltered up it'll probably be alright. All the best man.

I live in South georgia and even here it's bad. Many gas stations are bone dry and people are lined up for hours just to get bottled water.

I just went through Harvey, so best of luck guys. A reminder for home abandoning if it comes to that: turn off your breakers. A lot of homes here actually burned down due to the rising waters causing electrical fires.

Or if you don't have flood insurance, but do have fire insurance...let it burn.

Park your cars on high ground, even if you have to walk home. That can be the difference between having a car after the storm and not. Learned this one the hard way.

I know this sounds shitty, but thanks for taking this one. SETX can't handle another, the water still hasn't fully receded.
