You got that right.

Living in New England and in states north of NC things with a few exceptions have been quiet the last few years have been quiet. Right now these storms are looking for warm bath temps waters.

[trisham]

Thanks, TIK. Not promising for the good people in the Keys.

[NautiNurse]

I really was a Girl Scout before I became a nurse. We always try to be prepared. ;o)

[metmom]

You got your degree in meteorology just where again?

And how many years have you been working in weather forecasting?

[NautiNurse]

When the model tracks are so tightly grouped together and overlapping that you can’t tell which one is which—this is called, “All the forecast models are in agreement.”

[MagUSNRET]

So to translate that for the men in the audience....girl-scout preparedness for them would be akin to “Hunker down and protect your cookies!”

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Yes it would and no we’re not NN has been doing these threads for years. Y’all come over here.

[Biggirl]

The last big one going further north was late in the season Sandy of 5 years ago.

[NautiNurse]

You get to hunker down after securing the shutters, mowing the lawn, and taking out the trash. ;o)

[Chgogal]

Called a private jet outfit to see if she and her dog can get on a plane. You are absolutely right. Makes no sense for me to fly down there........

Wish me luck.

They already declared and emergency in Florida? This thing is almost 2,000 miles from there!

[SE Mom]

WBC!!! It’s good to see you. What are your plans?

[Chgogal]

Please put me on you Ping List. Thank you.

i usually hole up in the eau gallie river, its nice and well protected with easy access to a nice park but they got gotta huge dredge in there and i can’t get in there - sooo plan b is vero beach up in the mangroves - could’t ask for a better hurricane hole

[Chgogal]

Yeah, my niece, nephew and I were part of that Charlie evacuation from the Keys. It went real smooth. I was a very impressed Yankee. ; )

[blueyon]

“””yep, im in florida, on a sailboat, and im as nervous as a long tail cat in a room of rocking chairs””’

Prayers for you and all in Irma’s path....hope you will be able to seek/find another form of shelter if needed

[NautiNurse]

Yep. Gov. Rick Scott declares state of emergency for Florida ahead of Irma

[Seruzawa]

We are fully prepared for hurricanes. We have a years food supply. Lots of water and water filtration. Plenty of gasoline and 2 generators. Lots of ammo. But our main defense is living in Utah. I think we are pretty safe.

Irma can scoot right into the golf pick up steam and then go back across the top half of Florida. Don’t count your roof tiles before their thatched.
