Well it looks like we will be missing Sunday night's Giant game TV broadcast.
The power and the cable will probably be down by Sunday night.
I'm hoping to catch the game on the radio, does anyone know which FM or AM radio national station will carry the game ?
I still have my battery operated transistor radio, hopefully it still works.
Any Ideas ?

I hope its not a too late situation nor too bad a storm, as they choose to sit it out and are not 'young kids' neither.
Why I keep a land line and an old plugin phone. Rotary or push button. Without power my home phone works because everything is buried.

East or West Coast? West Coast I can check on them.
I'm in the pines too hiatus and pines blvd
If you go north it will eventually catch up to you
Good luck my friend !!!!!!!
Email me. It's on the other coast.
This is one helluva storm so I hope my storm shutters do their job.
GO BIG BLUE.
I think me and my dog will also ride it out and hope for the best! Putting up the shutters tomorrow morning.
Capt. - If you do plan on getting out, do it now as you will have to get to Georgia (at least). As an exercise in futility, I started searching some out of the way towns to look for available rooms. Marianna, FL (Up by Tallahassee); Silver Springs (Ocala); Hawthorne, FL (smack dab in the middle of nowhere between Gainesville and Palatka); Daphne, AL (Mobile Bay) - All sold out. A few spots for camping, but who the fuck is going to camp in a hurricane?
I have a spot in Nashville with friends, but I just don't want to drive that distance in a crawl on I-95/I-10/I-75. Good luck to you.
The traffic will never allow you to get a safe distance in time, and the need for gas has "outstripped our supply."
I would get to a shelter (many of them are taking petts), or find a hotel stairwell, they cannot turn any pets away if the owner is an evacuee.
Good Luck, and be safe.
We might head up to my Grandpa's place north of Tampa.I am worried about running out of gas in the middle of nowhere though, too.

BBiK - I'm likely staying in place. Final decision will come Mid Saturday to see when it makes it turn. The latest update has it coming ashore in the Keys instead of Miami. I was hoping that it was going to continue to drift East sending the eyewall off the coast. Now, it is back cruising up the coast but not off-shore.

Hope youse guys is all set as best you can. Publix was pretty empty today, so dropped in for beer. Got some Barritt's ginger beer for Dark & Stormies.

lol I missed my chance to make it to Total Wine today… I doubt they’ll be open tomorrow… I closed up my accordions on my windows, I’ll wait until tomorrow night to do the slider and lock down the garage door…
Luckily the latest track now has this going further west, ironically because of Jose behind it… we’ll see over the next 24 hours what the hell this bitch is gonna do...

St Pete is you better option. With the eye going over the lake, LaBelle is way too close.

So I have places I can go. I have a full tank of gas and 2 5 gallon cans. so I know I can make it. I have to decide by morning. No shelters open when there is a Mandatory evacuation.

Agree with CTC, the dike on Lake O is iffy at best and there are predictions of 7 to 17 ft of storm surge on the west side which would push water over the dike, if the dike held.
Please, do not go near Lake O.
You were smart to settle a bit west. It is one of the higher elevations in county. I sit at 41'. I know what you mean that it seems to be getting further away. When I first moved here, it would take me 12 minutes to get to the beach. With the added traffic, it takes me 20 minutes now.
I told my 9 yr old son, if the winds and rain gets bad during the Giants game he might have to take one for the team and get on the roof, keep the sat dish dry and keep it from blowing away. The look on his face was pretty funny; I don't know if he thought I was kidding or not.
Good luck through the storm.

I'm 2 miles down the road from you in Vermont Heights. I'm taking my Satellite dish off my roof this morning and tossing it in the trash. Can't stand the shitty service from DirectTV. Keep you and your family safe.
Beer time.
Shit will really start hitting the fan around noon tomorrow.
Hopefully it will continue further West and not be so bad

Decided to stay? Good luck to you ctc.
Everybody stay safe

Yes wise decision...stay safe.
I find it amusing we've got this big goofy pylon pronouncing the southern tip of the US.
A couple more clicks would be huge. 20/30 miles is all we need.

We made it just a town over. Blowing hard and down pouring but still probably not hurricane force. It's nasty but he should be ok. I imagine the condo was built to with stand this. Power has been blinking, like just now, but keeps coming back. That generation is tough!!

My grandfather and some of his neighbors are staying put in their condos. He's 91 and refused to leave. So if anyone could give updates on the area it would be much appreciated.

Thank you Bigblue! He just checked in and says they are fine! And yea, that condo and generation are both very tough:)
