My bet would be Tuesday or Wednesday before any of you see rain from this.

His company told him to come back. Otherwise he may have been stranded here. So many people are fleeing the state and the Orlando airport is closing (if it isn't closed already) Tampa International is being flooded by people trying to get flights.Quote:

Florida is not the place to be for this storm.
I talked to Trav's younger son earlier today, and I'm happy to report that Michael has a plan.
He?s going to board up his apartment this afternoon, and stock the bathtub with beer. He said he?s about a mile inland from the evacuation line, and if he?s forced to leave his apartment, he?s taking his dog and going back to the restaurant where the works. As he said, it?s a big building and there?s plenty of food and drink.
He also had the foresight to buy renter?s insurance. Yesterday.

But I'm not going anywhere for this one.
I hope to hear from you on Tuesday.

Go where? There are no hotel rooms to be had anywhere in the area. No shelters accept pets and I am NOT leaving my dogs behind. The friend I stayed with last time is actually much nearer its current projected path than I am (by 60 miles in fact) Que sera, sera.

Most of the 1.2 million residents who were told to leave were in South Florida ? 300,000 in Palm Beach County, 250,000 in Broward County and 320,000 in Miami-Dade County. To the north, Brevard County told 185,000 residents to leave, and Volusia County told 120,000.
States of emergency were declared in Florida and Georgia.
Try Northeast Georgia.
