Hurricane Dorian

ZEROPILOT · Aug 28, 2019

Let's keep an eye on this one. FLORIDIANS.
The entire state in in the cone of what may be a powerhouse.

Maro2Bear · Aug 29, 2019

Yes....fingers crossed that it moves right along.

Stay safe guys. Hopefully its not to bad

The new projection is a cat 4.
A cat 4 can blow off an entire roof.

I'm not looking forward to this. I'm in west palm and the cone seems to keep turning more towards me. Stay safe everyone!

It does seem to be favoring the Broward/ Palm beach line.
Can you get gas?
The stations here have mostly run out.

ZEROPILOT · Aug 29, 2019

The whole neighborhood will soon be asking me to repair their generators. Most will have years old stale gasoline still inside of them.
Yet, I've been unable to get ONE of them to give me a hand with my shutters.
Between my back and my vision, this won't be fun.
And the generator is buried behind a couple of motorcycles and car engines.
I really planned ahead.
At least I already bought gas.
GET GAS NOW if you're waiting...

Stay safe and take care everybody back there.

Thanks. GILLIAN.
Florida residents will have a better idea tomorrow and Saturday as to where this thing will be going.
We have a lot of members from Florida.
Plenty of them along the East coast.

I'm thinking about you, Ed. It's a bad time for you to have health problems, and those darned neighbors anyway!!!

Most gas stations have already run out here. Thankfully I already got gas and had all my hurricane supplies ready months ago, except for water which I was able to get a few days ago.

We've never had a BOIL WATER order here. So I've stopped buying it.
But I'm freezing 8 gallons of water in the freezer.
To drink and to keep the freezer and fridge cool once the power goes out.

Okapizebra · Aug 30, 2019

Yup, I did the same with water.

I'm getting increasingly more nervous. Every update to the track has it more of a direct hit to me.

Sleppo · Aug 30, 2019

Stay safe everyone!

Hi Ed. Hope you (and everyone else back there) are well.

Stay safe.

It keeps looping south west

ZEROPILOT · Aug 30, 2019

I got up early to start fortifying my tiny fortress.
I'm a one eyed, crippled shutter machine

Stay safe everyone. Don't know how you put up with this every year, but whatever you do it's been working for you, your still here, so keep doing it.

ZEROPILOT · Aug 30, 2019

One of the things that sucks the most is once a storm is coming at us, its ALL OVER THE NEWS. Every station. All day long. All week.
Scaring the Hell out of us with worst case scenarios and wild guesses as to where it will hit. And how hard.
An update every few hours when there is a new advisory would be adequate.
This crap would make anyone a nervous wreck!
The actual storm only lasts 12 hours or so. This goes on for days. And the repeated idiodic information is just not helpful.
Most of it anyway.
