Mother in Law says Father in Law won't budge and doesn't want to leave the house. We told them to call 911 about where to go. I don't know if they will or not. They are about 4 miles from that small fork.

They didn't say what the neighbors are doing. If I recall correctly, there are a lot of retired people in that area.

if it goes to a cat 4, and the track stays the same - they may have a mandatory evacuation. maybe they will heed that, as the authorites ask them to identify next of kin if they don't want to leave.

Another poster said North Fork High School is open. They have about an hour to get the hell out. Now they're saying this is a Cat FOUR - 145mph winds - that's 10mph stronger than HUGO - the water is going to pile up at the headwaters of that bay - please tell them to get out and get to a shelter.

Tell your folks in North Port that once winds are over 45 mph NO EMS will be out. All bridges will be closed.

My wife made me bring the rabbit in.... LOL. We've got a closet all huddled up with sleeping bags, cards, radio and stuffed animals.

Tell them to at least pack a bug-out bag. Critical papers, three days of clothing, toiletries and especially medications. If they are staying put, have them put their medications in the safest place possible - maybe even put them in ziplock bags and in their pockets.
