any other floridians

[techvoodoo]

down here in south west florida, waiting to see what this storm is going to do. doesn't figure to be too serious for us but you never know with these things. anyone else down here waiting to ride it out.

 

with CGC in sarasota anyone ever wonder what their storm prep/protocols are. i'm guessing they can't up and move everyones comics too easily.

i used to live in Atlantic Beach near Jacksonville

[shrunkenhead]

Lived in Lauderdale for 15 years and Miami for 10 years. You'll pull through fine---just don't do anything obviously stupid, like go surfing. That's how you end up on the news.

[techvoodoo]

ha no surfing. i'm not too worried it doesn't look like it will be very bad but I always have a little concern over the thought of a window breaking and rain coming in and getting my comic book or firearm collection wet.

[Hydra Bob]

I'm next to Tampa. I don't think this storm is going to much of anything

 

HURRICANE PARTY!

[Unca Ben]

Raised in Cocoa Beach, then Indian Harbour Beach during the 1960's through the early 80's.

 

Tape up the windows (I hear they got storm shutters now), secure patio furniture and garbage cans, and hunker down. Evacuate if they advise.

 

I much prefer the Tropical storms in Fla. to the earthquakes I've been through in Calif.

 

At least hurricanes let you know they're coming. Earthquakes, not so much.

 

I've never been a fan of surprises.

I'm in Penbroke Pines. North West Miami-Dade. The storm missed us completely. Unfortunately, it looks like its gaining strength and heading right for New Orleans.

[techvoodoo]

yep swept on by got some rain. i am on the gulf side so i was a little concerned yesterday and coming into this morning. but nothing.

I'm in Weston and we got a lot of rain and some hefty gusts of wind but thankfully nothing like Wilma was 7 years ago.

 

I hope New Orleans is okay.

we were projected ground zero yesterday (panama city)... today, projection is about 250 miles west

will take me a year to drink all this bottled water

We rented a time share in Weston 3 years ago. I really liked that area.

Weather's cool & windy in Tampa. Beautiful for late summer.

Thanks Mike. We love living here...except for the few nasty storms.

 

If you ever come back down here, let me know! (thumbs u

[comeaux]

Sitting here in Lafayette, Louisiana which is about 20 miles inland from Vermillion Bay just hoping this storm doesn’t drift any farther west.

 

Wifey’s family in Nola will probably stay here … my home typically turns into a “boot camp” for much of the family during hurricanes.

 

Good luck to all of those who may be affected by this storm …

Tornado watch at my house in Boynton Beach, currently in a Hotel in Orlando

I would have figured you would have stockpiled Coke Zero...

No one commented about my question in my OP regarding CGC. They're in Sarasota right? What do they do when a big storm threatens? Is it feasible to pack up everyones books and move them? I can't imagine they leave them at their facility there do they, they must a ton of expensive books there.

The facility is llike Fort Knox. If I could I would use it as a shelter I would.
