Anyone else in s Florida getting nervous about this hurricane?

[sneakerhead]

Totally scurred

[pavyracer]

Don't wait until the end. Hop on a flight and go to Vegas. You can watch the hurricane on big screen at MGM.

Been through a few hurricanes. This one isn't expected to hit us bad. Been through hurricane Andrew and that was devastating. Last major hurricane was Wilma in 2005 and it was overshadowed because of Katrina but it left me without electricity for 3 weeks.

If you go to Homedepot I recommend something like this

BTW we've had practically 11 years without a major hurricane. That's a hell of a streak.

Miami emptying out

[pavyracer]

Tho hurricane will affect a lot of games this week. Be careful with betting.

[kyhawk]

No sweat north of Jax. Majority of these are just bad showers. The coast will lose a lot of sand for sure. Big money is spent trying to keep it and mother nature is a bitch and just takes it away.

[jjgold]

Miami could get leveled

I hope not

NC in trouble on coast

[LordVodka]

They are milking this. Every news channel on 24/7 talking about this storm. They are making money like crazy all the while acting like this storm is a bad thing. Any time a storm comes they all get bonuses.

Well boys I think I am popping my cherry with hurricanes. Went to get gas and was 60 cars in line. Cops directing traffic at costco. I don't drink but guess going to liquor store today and bought a generator and will see what this does

I haven't been keeping up with the hurricane but my college roommate was living in Homestead Fl, when hurricane Andrew was on it's way. He wanted to ride it out. I begged and pleaded with him to get the hell out of there and luckily he did. His entire street was totally leveled. It looked like an atom bomb hit the neighborhood. Several people died and he most likely would have too as his house was leveled. To this day, they've never gave an accurate death count. There were a lot of unregistered illegal people that were killed but never accounted for. I'm always recommending to go inland if you are near the beach. Why take the chance? You cannot fuk with Mother Nature.

A generator is basically required in the south. We were without electricity for 2 weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Make sure you have enough gas to fuel it. My generator eats about 11 gallons a day. I had a huge 250 gallon plastic tank installed under a deck. I can then pump it to the generator. Prior to it, I had to siphon gas from my SUVs and had portable gas tanks which was a pain. I keep saying one day I will get a generac with natural gas piped in. Everything in our neighborhood went down (cable, internet, phone lines, electricity, water) except our gas. Keep safe.

Watch it blow out to sea

[trillz]

Watch it blow out to sea

Lol no.. it's coming right for Central/east Florida

[mets119218]

Well I am less the 24 hours from this thing coming to shore 45 miles from my house. I am not looking forward to 105 mile per hour winds at 2 am in the morning. What sucks about being here is I couldn't even get a truck or even get a neighbor to go help me bring plywood to house so will to this without anything on the windows which scares me shitless. Growing up in Tennessee we always helped each other but not here. Oh well hope I survive this. Glad doctor just gave me xanax never took a pill like that in my life but will start tommorow hopefully it will knock my ass out

[jjgold]

The wind speeds are already getting less and less if you look at the map this is going to be really really overblown

[mets119218]

thanks for the support Chief meteorologist jj. I will trust my local news more then someone getting title loans to gamble

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Stay safe
Seahawkharry will pray for u guys

[mets119218]

Thanks pal. I go to homestead quite a bit and still areas are destroyed. Miami is going get off lucky on this one and it looks like us in northern palm beach count and Indian county are going get a landfall which could be devastating at 130-140 which my local news are forecasting to hit around 2-3 am tommorow night. Having this shit st night is worse. I just got my generator from Amazon its a smaller one 4000 watts so I should be able to get the fridge on. I was able to 30 gallons so will have to make it last. Little worried about 2 120 feet royal palms in my neighbors yard coming into my house. Hopefully I am just worked up as it's my first one. My house is paid off my wife refuses to leave even though it's a safe 2 hour ride to Sarasota which is what I wanted to do. Guess I will just make a video and pray my Windows and roofs hold

I think I know what I'm talking about… Meteorologist love drama

[daneblazer]

No way I'd stick around for a Cat 4. People don't understand how strong these things are. They're bigger than the black dot on the projected path picture. Next time you're on the interstate going 70mph stick your hand out the window. Now imagine the wind outside being about twice as strong blowing for several hours or half the day and that's what you're dealing with

[CanuckG]

Why people choose to live where hurricanes frequent is beyond me

[jeffchitown]

I fly to Charlotte nc saturday to connect to bradenton florida. Am i screwed?

[Mr KLC]

As long as it doesn't hit Tennessee, I could care less. Can't wait to see the news footage of snakes and alligators in the streets of downtown areas.

[jjgold]

Hurricanes rarely happen in Florida now go look at the maps and see the wind speed projections are not as great as two days ago

[daneblazer]

I say the same thing about snow

[jeffchitown]

I guess it comes down to how do you prefer to die: frozen, drowned, burnt to a crisp, rolled over by lava or shaken to death.

Man you're staying? No thanks, got the house closed up and heading west at 4am to beat the traffic

Last time a major hurricane made landfall in the US was almost 9 years ago.. it's just that time of year but this is a rare one

[jjgold]

A lot of overreaction with SBR posters

Don't be a pussy just stay and gamble

JJ desperately trying to get a reaction in this thread lol.

[trillz]

Katrina was a Cat 3 when it hit NOLA.. Matthew is expected to be cat 4 when it hits here.. there will be MAJOR flooding

[d2bets]

I say the same thing about snow

You're afraid of snowflakes?

[newguy]

Where you guys at? I am just outside Melbourne - town called Viera. We are 7 miles or so from the coast. We are staying. Newer home and have storm shutters up. Will see if we regret it.

In Vero Beach, not far from Viera. Hopefully doesn't go back to CAT 4 like they have been saying. It won't be fun but stay safe brother

Vero beach. Scary. You staying put? You in mandatory evacuation zone? They are putting winds at 130 which is very bottom of 4. Not saying that's a ton better but if it gets there it will hopefully just barely cross that line

Cat 4

Go fly a kite

I think technically you have to be on the other side of the bridge to be in the zone but I'm only a few miles from water and won't be staying to see what happens. Heading to Clearwater in a few hours for the weekend.. was gonna try to stay but if it hits like they say it's going to it's gonna be one hell of a storm. You see the pics of Haiti and some of the other islands?
