I tired calling my dad earlier, it legit took 30 seconds to hear his phone ring on the other end. He left a voice mail that was all garbled. Tells you how bad cell service is being affected.

I saw this giant green bluish light in the distance in Tampa. Shit was eerie.. I'm guessing it was a transformer.

Hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh.
My city is called Celebration. There's done wooded areas around us, we heard a boom/crash earlier, we think it might have been a tree.

I know a few people who did the same thing, smart thinking!
Silly boat, get out of the road. You don't even have wheels.

Yeah, so slow.
Same in Charlotte. Looks like we're keeping it if this is suppose to be the worse of it.

Dad said it was under mandatory evac because of it. No one should be on it.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Lol yeah of course I know Celebration, I was at Thai Tani last week.
I'm in Windermere and yeah, these winds are serious.
Anybody have a good live app that's telling you wind speeds?

Well, it's getting nearer to my mother in Trinity / New Port Richie, about 30 miles northwest of Tampa.
As of right now she still has power, she said just heavier winds moving in.
Anyone in that general area who has a good idea of what's going on there?

It's insane to think this monster is just slowly hovering over places, destroying shit with high-speed winds. I saw it was traveling like 12 mph earlier. WTF?!

Still have power. Occasional gusts. Back to Mystic Quest, lol.
It's not as Westerly as the latest charts showed, but it's going fast and we're just about done with the outer bands.

Im on Marco now. Flooding over most of Island. Heaviest on South side, near Caxambas Pass. Here are some social media pics ive gathered. Ignore the hyperbole about 4ft of water. That's localized at this time

I think we're gonna be lucky -- the last radar loop showed it moving north and almost a bit east ... I think the eyewall is gonna miss; 24 hours ago, it looked like it was coming directly over us or out in the gulf. I'm quite relieved.
Still gonna be dangerous, but less so

Why would you do that to yourself?
That game is amazing. Well, its music is. The gameplay is great...though it is grindy.
Quiet yourself.

Shit...as you posted that, I had a dip where my lights dimmed a bit and then came up. Second time in the past 90 mins.

Because Phoebe's a badass. It has aged poorly though. So little customization. Great music at least! I'm not using my PS3/4 because I don't want power surges damaging them.Why would you do that to yourself?

I love grindy.
Mystic Quest though, no thank you.
Final Fantasy 2(4) would be a much better pick.
Or, if you're looking for customization, Final Fantasy 5.
As far as power surges, get an Uninterruptible Power Supply for your game systems.
(Obviously doesn't help right now, I know).
Or, play the superior GBA version.

Well, I can't argue here. FF4 is one of my all time favorites, and is easy to lose yourself in.
It'll come back. We're here for you, you ain't riding this alone. Understand?

Yeah the hurricane force winds are coming over us soon...
In south Lakeland. It's raining and the wind is kind of blowing but Power has been stable outside of one small surge where it came back on immediately. Somehow my apartment is in some magic area where we don't ever get effected by bad weather. I have friends posting videos on Facebook where the wind and rain look terrible. It's crazy.
I live about 3 miles from Plant City.
