Good morning SW. As most of you know my wife and I are leaving Florida ahead of hurricane Ian.

On our way out of the state we passed a minimum of 200 electric power trucks heading into Florida to help restore power after Ian hits. God bless these people. It really renews your faith in people. 馃槉

Stay Safe Stereoguy. I'm putting a new circuit service panel in to alow my new 28kv generator to power our home when the storm come north and if it is bad we will havw power outage and this is normal up here during the fall and winter.... I hope it dosen't cause a lot of dammage...

Take it easy on the road and be safe and look after your wife

I hear that Martha's Vineyard is a nice place if you come from Florida

Take care.
There is a lot of kindness in the world, it's just overshadowed by the other things. And no one reports kindness.

Y鈥檃ll are doing the right thing. It鈥檚 always best to leave the area if possible, and come back when it鈥檚 safe. Living near the Gulf coast of Texas, we are certainly no strangers to hurricanes either. Hoping all turns out ok for you all.

I'm in the panhandle up here and have been humbled by the sacrfice these people make.
yeah. overtime. but they are leaving homes and families for extended periods of times - and they risk their life to help people.

one poor guy died because a car hit him out of nowhere (could you NOT see the freakin' electric truck with the flashing lights???)

there's a special seat in heaven for those guys

It鈥檚 good you got out safely. I suppose DeSantis ordered these trucks. What a great governor you have. Stay safe!

@Carissimi i hope he is our president someday....馃憤馃檹

I hope we are all still alive to see this. The way things are going with the building tensions with Russia and destroying their gas pipelines, it鈥檚 getting very dangerous. @masterofyou

Good for you to know when to leave. Yeah, we seem to be ready collectively down here. No crazy gas lines, all the water's gone, of course, but smart people have it on hand.

Central Florida, here. Cleared the back yard and secured flying debris. W e're expecting winds in the 70-80 range, but we're ready. Storm surge, flooding, power and tornadoes are the worry. Hosting another with less secure surroundings.

Stay safe, good luck, and at least it's something to break up the monotony.

@Stereoguy it did but we did get much rain or the weather we got was probably from cold fronts ...

Best of luck.
My sister lives outside of Tampa and doesn't have the means to relocate.
I hope everyone is okay when it's all said and done and that the damage remains minimum...
