I am a physician and have been deemed essential — which means I am being locked down in the hospital tomorrow at 2:00 PM. Our hospital is just north of the Daytona region — I am in the region this evening spending the night knowing that it would be impossible for me to make my commute in the morning southbound (I think the state may reverse I-95 all directions soon). Anyway — it is eerily calm tonight — the proverbial calm before the storm. There must be 50 debris removal trucks in the parking lot tonight waiting for what is about to happen. Gas lines like I have never seen before...and a lot of warnings about what might be. I can certainly say most of the time there is a feeling of blowing the warnings off — but not this time. People are deadly serious. It will be an interesting 48 hours — will try to keep updates coming from the eye of the storm. Please pray for us —
Will greatly appreciate that, Doctor. You're an anesthesiologist, I assume from your FReepname.
Good luck and special,prayers for you and all who are in the path of this hurricane. Stay safe and God Speed.
Being “deemed essential” is at once a curse, and a badge of honor, one you wear with courage.
Prayers up from the Rockies. Godspeed doctor.
I have survived several hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, you all certainly have my prayers.
prayers & bttt Dr.
