Is anybody from the NH area planning to go down to Florida to help out after the hurricane? I’d be interested in catching a ride with anyone doing that.

You might try calling some power companies who might very well be sending repair crews down. Also independent electrical workers.

I’m in NH.

Wife has family in Port St. Lucie and I 10 acres of pasture in Okeechobee.

If and I stress only IF, her family is in need, I would load up my 11’ dump truck and hall my 16’ flat bed trailer full of stuff down there.

But ... you have to realize that after a storm like this it would be almost impossible to get down there. The roads will be clogged with debris, emergency crews, clean up crews, and residents who evacuated returning home. Plus, when you get there, you might be able to get back for some time as gas/diesel will be in VERY SHORT supply.

It would be better to stay out of there and not add to the congestion or get in the way of emergency crews. Also, if you go down there with a ton of supplies you will become a TARGET real fast for the looters.

Probably it would be better to donate to the Red Cross unless you have family down there with immediate needs.
