"taking heed to a warning..."


  

          

They say Irma may come through the Carolinas and they've issued a state of emergency. My mind doesn't want to believe it. like, nah, it won't happen. I have a cousin from Houston that said she got out as soon as she heard it was coming. While at the market last night folks were clearing off the shelves. I just called my son and said, " I think we need to prepare". I don't have a plan...

I think I'm actually scared lol
better safe than sorry, right?

How prepared are you for anything?

has it making land fall near Miami Beach and then going slightly back out to see and riding up along the Eastern coast before making landfall again near Myrtle Beach area. Both my sisters live in Jacksonville, one RIGHT on the St. John's River...if it goes that course, her apartment will be underwater. They both are making plans to bounce to Pensacola. They were able to find a hotel that wasn't completely booked after checking for hours. Now...if it hooks a left and goes up into the Gulf...they should be fine staying. But, no one knows for certain. You absolutely need a plan...even if you don't end up having to make a move.

My wife's people live on the coast in Southport, NC.

Not too worried about Charlotte. I think we are too far inland and there are no major rivers close by.

These trees tho... if they start falling it could be a problem

yet, isn't that how you get caught out there. I guess what bothers me is that down here I'm the one my family looks to and here I am walking by folks clearing store shelves.

happy to hear your sisters plan. I need to be more like her...

they acting like it's nothing or maybe I'm being paranoid
(you know how I be doing too much, lol)
but in light of recent events, im soul will not rest...

funny thing..
there's an man that lives in my complex
old guy, white and might be sort of off
I enjoy talking with him because he warns me of things
yesterday, I ignored him..
he goes, "I sure hope that hurricane don't come"
me: "yeah"
and I kept walking

I should have entertained him...

I'm in GA, and I'm putting together my plan as we speak. I packed a bag yesterday. I plan on cooking everything I have tonight. I expect to be without power for at least a week.

Candles? Flashlight batteries? Shelf food? Is the gas tank in the car(s) full? Matches? Charcoal for the grille?

Don't sleep. Let the power go out for a week and you'll be glad you don't have to go outside that much.

In response to Reply # 17


          

I know Florida folks are FUCKED if they haven't stacked up supplies, but to be real Floridians should be prepped with at least a few cases of bottled and some cans or shelf food all the time.

I'm getting my crib ready now, but it's more for blizzards in the winter and potential power outages.

we looked at her like: https://media.tenor.com/images/10c39a689709fb53cefc596d671aea45/tenor.gif

then her momma said "i don't think we are going, sometimes you have to have the wisdom to know when..."

but her daughter really had a "don't judge me" look on her face when she said she was going to Florida.
