I've already got tree branches down in my driveway and yard just from the rain we got today.

I drive south on I-95 for about 8 miles going home from work.....the traffic was starting to back up near downtown Jacksonville going north from a combination of people heading toward Georgia to escape the hurricane and the normal backups at 4 PM.
Every Walmart or grocery store I passed had a full parking lot and the gas stations were very busy too. Yesterday I saw a guy carrying out 3 cases of water and 4 cases of beer. He said the beer was for the hours he would be stuck alone with the wife riding out the storm. |

As of this morning when it shifted east with landfall predicted to make it a cat 3 and 120 mph winds, I posted I was inclined to ride it out ( but go to a shelter on higher land) with a 20 % chance of leaving. Now I am leaning toward leaving. Hopefully, tomorrow in the middle of the night. I just have so much to do and been doing it all day while sick throwing up violently from something I ate. Now it's 50/50% because it is so wide. Will definitely get some flooding. I am raising some things up high, and wrapping up more delicate things in plastic too.
Been up since 5:15 AM. |

Still no water to be found and most of the gas stations are out of fuel. The forcast for our area is looking much better now though. We're still expecting lots of rain and wind, but not the full fury of the storm.

Hope everyone makes it through and you don't suffer too much damage. Looks terrible for some parts of Florida.

So went to WalMart who had a long line in the store with a monitor and they were rationing the water too. On way out saw another delivery of water and got two more like some others. Wasn't too bad a line that early. But can't find any D size batteries for my lanterns. Then I went back to the same WD later, to get something else I forgot around 9 AM people were coming out with water. WTF? I heard that about the gas stations....long lines even at 6 AM. Quote:

I think seeing the damage of Hurricane Harvey and this storm is larger freaked people out. They should be prepared and make plans to get out but panicking and fighting over water??? Just a little over the top.
