@AbbeyRhode Thank you very much. This is the first one we have ever stayed home for. I am just feeling a little nervous. ☹️

@Musicman noooo. they happen all the time. Irma was bad. We evacuated to Tennessee. Some of my neighbors stayed. A tree fell on someone's car and they lost electricity for two weeks. That one took a while to recover from.

@iamonfire696 I was scared but I'm glad I was okay too thank you 🤗
Musicman · 61-69, M
@DeluxedEdition You are very smart. We went to Waco Texas and did the Chip and Joanna Gaines thing. We don't come back until the electricity is back on.

These hurricanes are tricky bastards..best of luck!
Musicman · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti Oh no. We are about 215 miles south of where it made landfall. We are getting rain, thunder and lightning and wind.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Musicman that don’t sound so bad then. The sound is probably so irritating though.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti We had heavy rain. 40 mph winds gusting to 70 mph and four feet of storm surge. So only people and businesses right on water, mainly rivers, had anything to worry about.

I live in Southern Florida and we'll probably get some wind and rain here. Unless you live north of Tampa, I am pretty sure the SW Florida areas of Naples, Ft. Myers and Cape Coral will be fine.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Barefooter25 Yes it is. We pay for top of the line insurance only to get blown off. 😡
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@Musicman Maybe it's time to find a new insurance company. DeSantis needs to come back and fix our state's insurance mess.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Barefooter25 Yes he does!

I am in the panhandle
expect outer bands -- but there was a front to the west that kept pushing it east - never did get the effects
but it's early in the season.

@Musicman the key to that is getting the heck out of dodge before everybody else gets the bright idea. when Ivan came and they said it was going to be a back braker I strongly suggested (I hate the word beg) that he get out of town - he ended up in Mississippi and he could have ridden it out - the house didn't sustain damage - but I had to be at work for the duration so I slept better knowing where he was.

Bless you and I hope it does not affect your life.

@WillaKissing Thank you very much 😊

Central Florida here. It's barely grazing us.

I hope those who may be impacted by water have already moved to higher ground.

I just talked to a customer in Tampa. He said it may hit hours north of their location in a remote part of Florida. I don't know squat about their geography but he wasn't concerned in the least about it.

Be careful!
BizSuitStacy · M
Stay safe. I know those things can be unpredictable.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@BizSuitStacy Yes they can. Thank you very much 😊
ShadowWorker · 61-69, F
My prayers for everyone in Idalia's way.
Stay safe.

@ShadowWorker Thank you very much 🤗

Are you leaving?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti No, it's to late. My wife just had some skin cancer removed so we have to stick around to hear her stitches removed.
Jimbo7 · 61-69, M
Stay safe Musicman

Good luck!

Re: this approaching hurricane 🌀 - word on the street is the diabolical Desantis will corral Lizzo and make her into a sea wall!
Got to move her slowly in the water - we don't want to add a tsunami to their troubles 😬

TIL it's ok to stand outside in a hurricane as long as you're holding a microphone 👍
