Hurrican Irma Cat 5 & Snowbirds already here

Well gov Scott declared 'state of emergency for entire state'. Maps showp it is going to come up thru the spine of Florida. Mandatory evacuation in place already for the keyes. Expect to hear more tomorrow for central Florida.

The past week the Snowbirds have been coming down here in Central Florida a whole earlier than I've ever seen.

I hope they have the wherewithal to get out of their CG's and head back up North over the state line and ride the hurricane out up there.

Hope everyone that is already down here stays safe. You'll be in our prayers.
Any of our forum members down here in Florida now?
  • Yup, that's the only reason to go to Florida now - grab as much of your stuff as you can and haul it northwest.
  • I just got back from the store again looking for D batteries and water, took some Valium this time to deal with the hurricane chaos in the stores.:W

    Traffic all back up from the small gas stations that are right on the road.

    AND....saw a ton of the Snowbirds that I saw 'arrive early', on the highway a line of RV's leaving the CG's and heading back North! I wish I was going with them.

    Be safe Snowbirds!
