Posting this ahead of the storm so I can ping it out while I know I have connectivity.
Keep track of the status of your loved ones and FRiends on America's Space Coast while we endure Hurricane Matthew. Hey, any county that can turn out that any folks for DJT the day after the debate is worth saving!
Isn’t Sheriff Ivey your sheriff?
I was quite impressed with his oratorical ability at the Gun Rights Policy Conference!
The “Should I stay or should I go” song is playing in my head right now. I live just East of I-95 in North Brevard and the eye will go right over us (according to Channel 2’s guys). Decisions, decisions...
I am in Florida but far away from Matthew’s path. I sure hope it stays a good ways off the coast.
Prayers up. . . .
I had the good fortune of living in Cape Canaveral a few months while I was doing an internship. Lovely place and all my best goes out to everyone there!
Sheriff Wayne Ivey. We’re proud of him.
Live central Merritt Island. Family members talked it over. We decided to board up windows and stay. Been in same house 36 years and never left before. But we know, we’ve never had a storm of this magnitude. Have until Thursday afternoon to make up mind to leave or not. Have daughter who lives on east side of Orlando and that’s where I’ll run to.
Leave
Leave Now .
The sheriffs will make you leave anyways .
It’s a cat 3 to 4
Just leave .
We did .
My niece is in Pt St Lucie and she is bunkered down in her 3rd floor apt. Her 2 oldest girls have gone through hurricanes before, but her 7 yo son is autistic and is terrified because all he has heard at school and on TV. Couldn’t get no batteries or nothing but her ex was “nice” enough to bring by two flashlights and a few gallons of water for her and the kids. Needless to say I started out the week worried about my new Uninsured home in the coastal Carolina’s. (NC), now we will be worried about my niece and the kids. Prayers to all in Matthew path!
Keep me included. My not-too-bright ex and dogs are going to ride it out in Melbourne.
Prayers for all your safety !
Prayers for your, your family’s, your community’s, and your state’s safety!!
Why is she staying ?
Is it a wood frame apartment building ?
The higher up you are in a structure the situation is worse .
The storm is 130 miles wide .
Be safe and prayers up my FRiend.
Good advise. I think you should take it. We want you around to harass in the future ;D. Prayers up for you both!
Move to safety my FRiend. You can replace a home. You can not replace your life. Err on the side of caution. Prayers up for you, your family, and your home.
2 friends in NOLA, men in their 70’s, lived all their lives there, never evacuated for a ‘cane, even Camille. At the last minute they left before Katrina. Memory is that both were out of their homes for a year or two for repairs. You have to be smart about this. And your daughter would be thrilled to have quality time iwth you!!
I’ve got a good friend there, right on the beach. He sent me an email showing expected surf forecast at 3AM Friday of 16’-25’. Yikes! I don’t think he’ll be out surfing in that.
I think his parents still live in Winter Park, hopefully he’s headed there.
