    OK Djoser, I just checked your info and that island is not as elevated as you think:
    There are no shelters opening in the Florida Keys, the islands should be evacuated with the biggest Atlantic hurricane in history taking aim.

    In a storm the size of Irma, if you stay on the Florida Keys, you will most likely need a rescue and one will not materialize. The chain of 42 Florida Keys ends with Key West, which sits about 90 miles from Cuba in the Atlantic Ocean.

    Most of the island chain of the Florida Keys sits only three to five feet above sea level, reports CBS Miami. With a category 5 hurricane taking aim at the Florida Keys, the wave heights expected “would literally put the ocean over the islands,” warns Monroe Co. Emergency Operations Center Director Martin Senterfitt.

    OK, there are school buses on the island right now. They are picking people up. You don't have to drive and run around getting gas or any of that.

    If your "landlord" says anything about the cat, I will personally get a lawyer on her ass. She cannot evict you like that. An hour my ass. She has to send you a notice to remedy and wait 30 days. I enjoy suing assholes like that. She'd rather a small cat die alone? Say the word, man and I'll drop on her harder than this hurricane.

    - To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life.
    Properties remain subject to devastating to catastrophic
    wind impacts.
    - Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to
    adequately shelter may result in serious injury, loss of
    life, or immense human suffering. Remain sheltered until
    the hazardous wind subsides. Be ready to quickly move to
    the safest place within your shelter if extreme wind
    warnings are issued.

    - Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.

    * STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible

    - Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
    evacuation orders may result in serious injury or loss of
    life. Leave if evacuation orders are given for your area.
    Consider voluntary evacuation if recommended. Poor
    decisions may needlessly risk lives.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
    - Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated
    by waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the
    coast.
    - Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads

    and rescues.
    - Ditches and canals may overwhelmingly overflow their banks
    in many places with deep moving water. Flood control
    systems and barriers may become stressed.
    - Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
    communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
    washed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
    escape routes with streets, parking lots and underpasses
    submerged. Driving conditions become very dangerous.
    Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened or
    washed out.

    * TORNADO

    - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
    spots of considerable damage, power loss, and
    communications failures.
    - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
    homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
    or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed
    about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

    Things have improved dramatically, thanks partly to the Cuba diversion and the delay in the north turn. Irma has gone from Cat 5 to Cat 3. Still dangerous, and still destructive. I'd say 50/50 chance my apt will be trashed. But the death toll is not going to be huge, as we all thought last night.

    And if this green line projection is accurate, I'll be extremely happy. Though the odds are against it.

    And many, many thanks for all the concern.

    Here's a video I just shot, showing the Old Stone Church right across from my apt, where we are staying tonight for the worst part. Maybe this will reassure some of the worry. I know i am WAY less worried than last night.

    Thank goodness it's a multi level church. That's more reassuring. Take your air conditioner units out of the window if you can, if it's not drilled in. It's easy for the wind/rain to get in through the sides.

    There is a special place in hell for all the landlords who would go so low to threaten to evict their tenants to help other living beings in a time like this.

    Anybody who may be in the path of storm..... if at all possible please evacuate. If you are going to hunker down and ride it out, please take all the suggested precautions.

You may be able to seal your phone, laptop, etc. to keep the waterproof as long as possible. Any kind of high carb food/snacks are good to pack. You don't have to buy bottled water, some extra jugs from the tap are good. If you have a flashlight, seal it and extra batteries with plastic. Make sure the GPS is turned on your phone in case rescue has to trace you. Sounds extreme but use a permanent marker to put your social sec # on your arm. If knocked unconscious they may need to contact your people to know what they can and can't treat you with. So, make a note in your phone with I_C_E next to your emergency contacts. Take it easy, Keep Calm, Carry On, and don't drink any adult beverages as it will make you bleed faster. Oh and take some lip balm with you to use as a salve on any cuts. It's waterproof and will seal it off. That's the best I can come up with off the top of my head. I'm gonna kick your ass when I come down there this Winter...just so you know!

    There's an app, "zello walkie talkie" found in play store for androids, app store for I phone, can be used if no service to communicate w/fam & friends (it was used during Harvey)
    Empty dishwasher & put in stuff you want to preserve, it's waterproof in there, it's secured to cabinets.
    Take pics of every room, drawer, cabinet of your place.
    Brevard county just increased the amount of chloramine (chlorine & ammonia mix) that's add to drinking water.
    It's safe for humans dog & cats but
    Not Birds
    Probably too late but there it is..
    Still prayers & good thoughts to all

    Friend of mine: Why do you guys all drink during hurricanes?

    Me: Because the worst part is waiting for them to show up.

    We know we'll probably be fine but there's always that possibility that we'll be hit by a tornado or that the house will be hit by lightening.

    Anybody who may be in the path of storm..... if at all possible please evacuate. If you are going to hunker down and ride it out, please take all the suggested precautions.
    Yup. I hate humans. My friend read online that they found about 50 pets outside, inside carriers. Like WHAT THE FUCK MAN??!!!

    Whoever the fuck did that deserves to get caught right in the middle of the eye and die painfully.

    If you can get my eviction off my record , (which is STILL) affecting my ability to rent an apt..... 4 apts later.......
    I will blow you harder than any hurricane could.

    This hurricane makes me feel very worried. My grandpa is there. He's stubborn, in his late 70s and has the attitude that since he survived 2 heart attacks, if he survives great but if not, he said he lived a good life. I also have a friend out there who's afraid of flying and won't leave south Florida . I was just down in Georgia and drove back up to my home state from there. I counted 127 utility trucks heading down south and 2 military busses. I have a friend from my home state who's in the National Guard and has been activated to go to Florida to help. I know it's a lot to ask for but I really hope that all the Florida citizens who were either to stubborn or couldn't afford to leave, make it through.

    If they are on East Coast....Palm Beach/Ft Lauderdale area..not to bad right now, more tropical storm conditions, ...west coast in Naples/Ft Myers will be a different story though.
