Here in NE Florida we are a long way from where the storm is right now, yesterday at Costco, all the water was already sold out, one man told his wife they needed 9 jars of peanut butter.

One of the many negative things all the people that have recently moved to Florida bring with them is an irrational fear of hurricanes, especially when they are nowhere near to their location and will likely be no more than a big rainstorm when it does come this way.

The news media doesn’t help the situation by going into 24/7 fear mongering, the schools in Duval County are closed today and tomorrow.

I hear ya which is why I’m waiting for more accurate landfall info.

And I understand the fear mongering. More fear, higher ratings.

I have a brother-in-law in the Tampa-St. Pete area, and one of my daughters’
God Parents are in The Villages. Stay safe…

I would vote for going south and east. That seems to be the easiest and safest path, always traveling away from the hurricane’s track.

Nothing is learned in school in Duval County to be fair…

I’m going to go buy 19 jars of peanut butter now, in case the Philly area gets hit as well…
