Just a reminder, grab disposable plates and silverware.
Last thing you want to do in the sweaty dark is some goddamn dishes. That's if you have power.

where are you guys getting this stuff
what optimstic projection am i missing, earlier today it was POSSIBLY 200 MPH WINDS THE SIZE OF OHIO, BLAME YOURSELF OR GOD
If you're in Tampa and alive after it passes, I have a room full of board games lol
If it comes up through Florida, Tampa will be fine. What I'm terrified of is it going into the gulf then hooking into Tampa Bay -- that would be a nightmare scenario.
Not much to slow its roll beside mountainous areas in parts of Cuba. At this point, I think there is cause for some alarm. I will never forget the images of devastation from Andrew, and this storm is more powerful.
Yes, it will decimate downtown and Palma Ceia areas. I remember a few years back one just skirted 100 miles off the coast and all of Bayshore Boulevard was underwater. People on wave runners going up and down the road because the water was pushed up over the seawall.

Parts of Tampa will be underwater regardless. Glad I bought a truck. If it goes out to water and back in we are screwed.
Bayshore is gonna be gone.

terrifying.
Well now I'm super worried. My family is in Fort Lauderdale

Does he mention Publix?! 😏

I was just gonna eat out of the can like an animal.
Publix is not an embarrassment. It's probably the best grocery store in Florida! You may still get knocked down in the aisle for water, but at least it's not like the deathbrawls of Wal-mart.

The breaded hot wings from Publix are the best.
This.... I'm flying into Orlando on the 14th, and I can't wait to get some.
i really need to rewatch IASIP "Storm of the Century" because while I agree this is a dangerous storm, Frank has a point to an extent...

There might not be a Publix on the 14th...

If you are that close to the coast and the hurricane comes by you really should bail to the north.
No, it's been posted like 4-5 times between two threads here and been reported as fake and/or an old youtube video of something or other.
so you're mere miles away from the coast? yeah, go further inland. orlando is a good place to be usually for these things

But if we do experience Irmageddon and survive, and people turn into feral monsters, wouldn't you want to have that 2.5gal of fresh Publix spring water, for only $2.59?
Tallahassee gas stations are running out of gas fast :/ I was trying to get it through my boyfriend's thick ass skull all day that this shit is serious, and he finally got the goddamn point an hour ago, but we had to pay for premium grade gas. Sigh.
I hope the state updates us on office closures and stuff soon, though I understand they don't quite know the trajectory yet. I'm certainly not staying in town to frickin' work if Irma threatens to get close to the panhandle, but it would be nice to know if/when the offices are shutting down. They did shut the government down for Hermine, but they certainly waited until the last minute to do so as the storm hit the night after the closure.

This has me legit scared
The path is misleading. Intense hurricanes want to trend northward into a recurve but the Bermuda high is keeping it down. Where the high erodes over Florida is where it will basically round the corner north. It wont keep going west at that point.

If you're that close to the coast then you should move inland to be safe. If you do, make sure to take any supplies and valuables with you.
Should have just waited until tomorrow. Stores and gas stations will continue to resupply until like the day before it hits
Also not sure where to ride this out. East Orlando or west of 95 in Saint augustine. Neither are really a threat for storm surge
Yep I'm getting the hell out too if it starts barreling down the coast. My boss didn't know there was a hurricane....

Looks like I'm stuck in Sarasota until this is over, apparently not in a flood zone though.
