Still time to order this.

Don't laugh. That stuff works.

Does that shit come in 55 gallon barrel drums? Staylor might need about a dozen of them if they do.

Up in Jacksonville, FL.. watching Irma pretty close. I've been through several hurricanes, but this looks like a freaking beast. It is at 180 mph sustained wind. Wherever this hits is going to be some terrible devastation.

Just went out and got bottled water and a few dry provisions. Still have some stuff left over from Matthew in October.

Jax here. Supplies are already snapped up. My plan is to head to Tallahassee and camp. I did that for floyd and it worked great. Took the tent and golf clubs and played 3 days at FSU.

The real issue with these that go straight north from Miami is the traffic on the highway. 8 million in Miami alone. Sometimes better to head south instead. Always thought the stadium is good place to hide too.

Yep.. that is what I have been thinking as well. Haven't seen Tallahassee in quite a while.. or Atlanta. Gonna wait a bit, of course, to see how bad it is looking first.

Amazon Prime works great.. just got more light sources, batteries, and glass gallon jugs for water. All being delivered tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

West Palm Beach here. I can see the intercoastal and Atlantic from my balcony. Stocked up on supplies this weekend before it got nuts. Went out for lunch today and all of the stores are slammed. Pretty nuts to see the traffic in every store parking lot. Looks like black Friday out there.

Car is gassed up. Only way I am leaving is if it is a Cat 5. Have a back up plan in Orlando if it comes to that. Stay safe everyone.

220 mph gusts, 180 mph sustained winds. Only 6 hurricanes have had higher winds since they started tracking hurricanes.

Time to pack up and head north, Florida guys. It's not worth it to stick around.

We were going to head to friend in South Carolina but that thing could head there too.

I was out earlier at WalMart having my tires looked at.......they put out 4 skids of water when I was there..about 45 minutes later it was all gone.

We have the supplies and other things stocked up too....still hoping for a better turn of events.
