Yep, that's been our evacuation plan the past week as I've been tracking this annoying storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Should have moved to the UK, No earth quakes, No tornadoes, No tsunami, No deadly spiders, No deadly snakes just plenty of water and floods. God bless the ones in line for a battering hope they all get time to get to cover. Roly Lucky2 and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local news is saying ALOT of rain & wind here and possible tornadoes, Following updates in the mornings & evenings. First part of next week is looking like a good time to "work" from home. I like working from home because all I do there is answer emails & talk on the phone while I play in the shop. How can I get a job like yours?

Travis Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Be safe everyone. Please heed any evacuation orders. Irma looks angry and not in a forgiving mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I would say, prepare for the worse and pray for the least. Dick heppnerguy Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmerstutzen Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Oh my, how can I live in a deep freeze three months per year? No palmetto bugs. No little lizards crawling across the floor. Humidity is not so bad that the dry wall molds if the air conditioning fails. I lived in Miami for three years. Missed the change of seasons so badly. The smell of dry leaves, crisp apples. Strolling down town looking at the Christmas Displays, greeting neighbors doing the same while sipping mulled cider, The Warmth and joy of a gentle Christmas Eve snow fall. Jumping in the river for Charity on New Years Day. Padding through the snow with my flintlock hunting deer in January. Groundhogs Day. Skating on a farm pond with a bonfire on shore to roast hot dogs and warm up some hot cocoa. Going for a walk through a winter wood at midnight during a full moon. I could never give these things up. The only way to be cold is to be so inactive you may as well be dead. As my grandmother always said, You can always put more clothes on, there is only so much you can decently take off. kmmcrafts and GrampaJim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I say heed the evacuation notices, because not doing so not only puts you in danger but also the ones that have rescue you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 As well as Irma, Jose is a danger too. It seems to be tracking slightly to the east of Irma's track, but as I remember Irma was originally on that same east side track earlier and has shifted more to the west. Even if Jose tracks east of the coast line, the winds, rain, and storm surge a couple of days after Irma is going to be a real mess. Good luck to all, my prayers are with y'all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be really careful if you use your generator, Kevin..If it is not vented really well, you could easily be in big trouble and not even know it Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Well Iggy, it looks as if it's going to miss you according to the latest charts, it's supposed to head up the westerly side of Florida. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
