Thanks! Still worried about my friend with Metro Dade PD. He’s not scared of the hurricane, he’s scared of the month afterwards. His family is inland at Winter Haven.
We have friends and clients in Port Charlotte, Wauchula, Zolfo Springs, Arcadia, and Sarasota/LBK.
I have family in Tampa, St. Pete, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Lakeland, and Gainesville. We are all keeping an eye on things as they progress. I’m hearing there is still gas available, but getting harder to find. Water is nonexistent at stores. Several of them have generators, and some of the family is still working on getting more supplies like batteries and food.
In case this idea can help someone else out, I’m posting what we do in our family for emergencies. We establish one person who is the furthest from the active area to contact and let know whether someone is safe or needs help. That person stays in touch with each family throughout the storm’s progression and aftermath.
I service all those areas too. Posting this from Arcadia. Most of the retirement trailer parks are empty, Windows shuddered. The Crackers are hunkering down, prepped and ready. My family will ride it out in Sebring. Mother in law is too frail to evacuate.
