    I was under mandatory evacuation......looking for huge storm surge to go with the cat 4 storm.  I drove to Orlando to stay with a friend.  I'll be safe here.  I'm afraid I will not have a house to go home to though.  Thanks for the kind words from everyone.  I'm keeping the Faith and eating chocolate! :)

    Chocolate is good. Its the next day and all the stores are closed except an Indian owned one that stays open ALL the time no matter what. My son and i just got back from there with a load full of candy, ice cream and hot steamed peanuts. lol

    Again, my thoughts and positive energies are in your court Thriftymaid sweetie. ;))

    I've been in Orlando but I'm going to drive home tomorrow.  Reports are my house looks OK.  Shocked and thankful!!  I hope you and the others are all OK.  I'm not using the computer very much while staying with friends.  Take care.

    Same here...very glad you guys are OK. :)

    I could not even get near the interstate so I just got out my atlas and found roads going south and west...when I hit a problem I found another road.  It's shocking that people don't carry an atlas in their cars.  I had a great tour of central Florida and met quite a few interesting characters along the way.

    Irma. We have mandatory evacuation for Saturday. My son bought enough water to supply the entire block for a month. We even have dried food that will last for 25 years that he bought just in case of a nuclear war. He is a bit of an alarmist but i love him anyway. ;) This post was edited by carbonproduct at September 9, 2017 8:34 PM MDT

    Dont worry, Hurricanes almost always bounce off us because we are located in a cove or Savannah. Thats why we have so many pretty trees that are old and still standing.

    Well if it does get scary, just focus on this:

    Thank you. He's fine. He evacuated from Clearwater to stay with friends in Georgia. He is still there and the power has been out for a couple of days. He doesn't know how his house fared, but has had encouraging reports from the area.

    I drove to Orlando and stayed with friends.  I drove back home to SW Florida last night.  Everything is OK and power is already back on.  Within a few miles of me in any direction there is big damage and flooding.  I am so thankful and at the same time very saddened at what some are going through.  We are really shocked at our outcomes, especially living so close to the harbor.
