The entire Florida Peninsula has begun to experience Hurricane Irma following landfall at Marco Island. Thousands of Floridians who evacuated the Atlantic cost to Gulf Coast areas found their safe shelter under direct threat from Hurricane Irma as the forecast shifted W Friday night and Saturday. Prayers for all in the storm path.

The carriers are throwing open all the wi-fi hot spots, so there’s that. And Zello works on cell data.
The Cajun Navy used Zello to dispatch and stay connected in Houston.
Cajun navy?
Want that the#crankyweatherman that said that last night before he signed off?
I agree that it’s good for some needs, but a radio works in more situations.
I remember the earthquake we had here a few years ago - we almost never get those, for a lot of us it was very confusing.
You couldn’t call through many cellular services because the lines were so jammed, and a lot of people were outside with no access to an Internet connection. I would have liked to have a little handheld transceiver then, just to make sure my husband was ok, and get news.
Getting a tech license is easy; but I think one of these should be in everyone’s prep stash if only just for listening during local emergencies/disruptions. They’re very cheap, and the local hams are always on there whenever anything unusual happens, keeping people informed.
This Zello is pretty cool. Can use it like the old nextel walkie talkie phones. talked to my sister in NC. all is good.
Mom in Sanford, 20 miles east of Orlando. Other friends there checking in.
Storm hitting Ft Meyers now I think. Wind gusts at 60+ but hasnt hit yet
Sorry, been busy the past few hours. The Weather Channel has a reporter stationed in your town now.
If power goes out for a long time, cash is your very good friend. A few hundred in tens will get you through a week or two of managing at home. Canned goods and a manual can opener, packaged food, bottled water.
Where in Southern Oregon? I grew up in Coos County, and have relatives in the Medford area.
15 miles out NNE of Ft Meyers, winds at 105 mph
thank you
The cajun Navy is a group of individuals that do high water rescue with their flat bottom boats. Hundreds came to the aid of houstonians during Harvey floods.
The Cajun Navy is a group of water savvy, disaster savvy boaters from Louisiana who showed up to help in TX. Also helped a lot during Katrina.
They were all over the news...
Thanks!
she texts me now and then with updates. they are watching storm, drinking coffee and hot chocolate
Mayor of Naples just on TV. There will NOT be a storm surge in Naples. He was just informed by weather service.
YEA!
Boy O Boy.
