He’s right. You will have plenty of time to get out.

If you live in Pinellas Country - surrounded by water you need to get out sooner if you’re leaving... Wait until Saturday and you won’t be able to leave.

Having lived in Orlando since ‘59, it always amazes me the lengths people go to in order to protect their property during a hurricane. We’re 60 miles inland, in relatively high ground. My neighbors board up their windows for nothing!

Look, if an object is big enough to break a window, it’s going to be too heavy for even a 70 mph wind to lift up.

Keep trees trimmed, tidy up the yard and grab a few supplies (cash, propane, food, Jim Beam, extra ice). I have a little bottled water, but I’ll fill up jugs as a precaution, like Rush said. The jugs are for an EMERGENCY! If things get really bad, it isn’t going to kill me! 95% of the time, I just end up pouring the water out.

Always enjoy watching the neighbors taking down the plywood afterwards.

Not if you wait until the last minute, and there are always some that refuse to leave and absolutely want to stay in their houses.

Afterwards they file huge law suits because the government didn't help them
