Florida is already in a state of panic as this massive storm is four days away from the southern coast.
I am in northeast Florida and we are already seeing the following...
- Stores are sold out of water, batteries, generators and other emergency essentials;
- A state of emergency has already been declared for the entire state;
- Schools closures have already been announced for Friday, presumably to give people ample time to evacuate the state; and
- Hotels are sold out for Sunday and Monday all over more inland areas of Georgia, including the entire city of Atlanta. Before long, hotels several hundred miles in every direction outside of Florida are likely to be sold out as Floridians are already starting to flee the state - even those in my area, which isn't supposed to be seriously impacted until Monday.
...and it is only Wednesday.
This one is supposed to be real bad. If it hits FL directly it is expected to cause massive damage and extended power outages. I and my family are leaving on Friday to enjoy the mountains of TN for a few days.
To anyone in its path, good luck and let's hope that it swings north a lot sooner than expected.
