In the Tampa area. Currently in the shelter waiting it out. This is literally worst case scenerio.

I hope you and everyone else in that state will be okay.

 

[squeekness]

I'm hoping it won't be as bad as they think, but it does look really bad.

Hope you stay safe and make it through okay. I feel horrible for all of the Floridians going through this right now.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things work out as well as possible when this is over. You are probably in the safest place possible and the worst case scenario is, well, worse. Let us know how things work out.

Best wishes and wish there was more than that to give.

Are people considering leaving FL? Things have been pretty bad there and don't seem like they are going to get better any time soon.

 

[squeekness]

I would be considering leaving. Some places you can't get home insurance at all, or it's crazy expensive. One or two storms you're wiped out for good. I can't imagine who is buying real-estate there right now.

Man, I feel so sorry for those people. They have just been getting HAMMERED. Really, really sucks. Having the governor they have just adds another dimension of misery for some others.

 

[Sithborg]

And apparently theres another hurricane forming to hit Florida on the other side.

Been interesting in watching some videos of guys who have animal collections prep their animals for the storm. The bagging of venomous snakes does not look fun.

I imagine zoo animals must be screwed. Hard to evacuate lions or giraffes, or killer whales.

Something I haven't considered that is absolutely horrific.
