Hurricane Michael

To all the Floridians who live upstate:

Please be safe and evacuate, if is necessary and don't forget your pets. They are also family. Michael is a very dangerous storm.

I'll be fine. Its heading to North Florida and to the Panhandle. so all of Miami Date County and such are fine.

South Florida is safe. Irma was scary. Poor people from the Panhandle, they will have another hurricane since Charley in 2004. Hurricane Michael's winds are 150 mph.:o

It's crazy how fast some of these storms can grow. Cat 4? What the hell. The gulf isn't THAT big. Not compared to the size of most hurricanes, it's basically just a puddle to cross, and yet I guess a very hot puddle that feeds them like crazy. :ohwell:

Glad that a friend about an hour outside Orlando shouldn't have much impact compared to the panhandle, but being on that east side of it... Yeah, I hope she hadn't started her outdoor Halloween decorating yet. Were it me, I'd be so annoyed to have to take it all down just in case.

People prepared for Florence, but Michael stuck up on us.

That sucker also held in there like heck. Still a tropical storm last night all the way up at the Chesapeake Bay. Most of them downgrade to a depression relatively quick, but that one... geeze. Is this a record for staying power? (Used to those that come in at the gulf more often exiting back to the ocean over my region, but they're always just a depression, or less, by then.) I'm curious if it will try to regain any steam now that it has hit the ocean again. :ohwell:

Poor Florida and others. Hope the areas affected get the aid they need to clean up and rebuild. :tsad:
