Hurricane Irma - uh oh

Mike,

As you know, the forecast path now looks more threatening to you guys.

Are you leaving or staying put?

Please be safe!

Best,

Jim

Hang in there Mike I've still got until tomorrow afternoon to decide whether to stay or head to Greenville, S.C. where the daughter just moved. Bags are packed and the car is full, just need to fill the big cooler from the freezer and unplug all the electronics.

Not to make light of this, but I love how technology gives us this option. I can't imagine living in Galveston in 1900, or earlier, when forecasts were days/weeks old, or nonexistent.

It certainly gives you an edge if you choose or are able to take advantage of it. Unlike last year when the two elderly dogs were still with us, we now have the ability to pick up and go when we think we need to. So we have everything in place to make a last minute decision based on the projections tomorrow.
 
I believe Mike headed north to GA. My wife and I decided to move further inland to Orlando. Appreciate everyone's well wishes. Today will be a long day.

Hang in there and to all ASers in the storm's path. Best of luck to all and most importantly hope everyone stays safe.
 
But are you able to get out Jack? How does one travel down the highways when 5 million others are trying to do the same? Many will run out of gas, others get in accidents, one lady will be having a baby, then there are stranded cars others have to get around.... mayhem.

The last time a storm this strong hit Tampa it was 1921: there was only 10,000 people living there. This time there are 2.4 million living in Tampa.
 
Hi all,

We arrived at Mark (MDP) and Susan's after midnight in Georgia (near South Carolina). Traffic was rough. It took us 13 hours, but we are all here - my wife and I, two kids, two cats, a dog and a partridge in a pear tree. We are all so thankful to both of them. ❤️

Good thinking. If you got hungry, you could eat the pears, then the partridge.
 
Here is an odd thought. You could actually outrun the hurricane; it is only moving along over the keys at 8 mph.
