It's only a 7 hour drive from Miami all the way to Tallahassee. Just hang out there and have a mini vacation until you know where it's going.
LOL, it would take the best day possible and excessive speeding to get to Tally from Miami in 7 hours :W Now add in the crazy northbound traffic we're already seeing and that just makes it worse. Woops, a few accidents, backed up toll booth lanes (no fee but you still have to slow down), a little rainstorm, and a few slow-poke drivers...would make this an all day affair. And come on, Tally is no place for a vacay LOL. No poking here, just trying to inject a little a humor in a generally humor-less situation.
BTW, if I was traveling north from the SE or SW areas, I'd seek alternate routes besides the turnpike or I-75. Folks often forget about the sleepy Suncoast Parkway along the west coast corridor. Pick it up north of Tampa and enjoy a leisurely cruise.
We'll be staying put, insulated in the middle of the state. It'll get windy and we'll probably lose some trees. We'll move the 5er and big boat to a tree-less area, gas up the generator and pray for the best. The current track has it pointed directly up the middle of the state, but I'm hopeful it turns back to the sea and goes away. We'll probably lose power for a few days, but as long as there's no damage to the 5er, we'll camp out in there after the storm passes because it will be more comfortable with generator power than the house will be. Plug up the outdoor freezers and shop fridge to the generator too, and we should be good to go until power is restored.
But if I lived along the SE or SW coast in a questionable home, I'd be GONE!
