Trust me when I say you have lots of attitude, and you
don't have a clue about which you boliviate......

Time to prepare with all the options/necessity/mandates/etc.
does take time. And hopefully the suppliers of needs can
obtain the need supplies in short order to provide for the needs.

LOL! You are a good sport.

Florida lives with hurricanes annually. As such, there is remarkably little complacency. Our lives depend upon paying attention during the silly season. It is the price we pay for living in paradise.

Also note the geography of the Florida peninsula. A large state, surrounded by water, we have limited routes of egress and for pre-positioning assets, including fuel. Add in the seasoned citizen population and there is sufficent rationale for declaring a state of emergency when a storm is certain to make landfall.

Biden and his henchmen are plotting to eliminate generators. It is beyond crazy.

same age as you, been here all my life. I just sold my beach condo in NSB as it’s getting completely out of control on the coast. Inland, like you say, not so much.

What part of the state are you in?

IF such an impossible thing were to happen, and it's a pretty big IF, the benefit of it would be taking out CNN's headquarters.

Hurricane Michael was very nasty. Glad you are here.

> They get their energy from warm water.

Then CNN needs to work harder producing hot air at their HQ to fulfill my dream. Have more interviews with Fani and Tank. Lots of hot air potential there.

Another benefit for the Florida Emergency Declaration (remember the senior population):

Florida Law Reminder for Early Prescription Refills

This notice is a reminder that all health insurers, managed care organizations,
and other health entities must comply with provisions of section 252.358,
Florida Statutes, which allows for early prescription refills in the event the
Governor issues an executive order declaring a state of emergency. This
mandate remains in effect until the Governor's executive order is rescinded or
expires.

It is always good to see your thread tracking the various storms. When I lived in Kansas City and then Phoenix, it was only my relatives that I worried about. But now I’m in the coastal Carolinas and sure want to keep informed.

No hype on your thread thank goodness.

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for checking in, FRiend.

Upstate SC ping. Keeping an eye on this one.

[Guenevere]

I’m sorry to hear that…..
…guess I should never say never

[NautiNurse]

Glad you checked in. You may well see some weather from the system later in the week.
