Thanks for the well wishes. I lived here for Wilma but not Andrew. And Andrew affected only South Dade Co. My point is there has never been a really bad hurricane where I live (Ft. Lauderdale area), at least not in "modern" times. On the other hand, I remember a particularly bad tornado (1974) growing up in Louisville. There are natural disasters everywhrte. One thing that is particularly bad about a hurricane, though, is the days of buildup and stress. It wears on you.

I thought I found the safest place when I moved to SE Idaho. No problems for 22 years, but we've all the sudden had a swarm of 200 (and counting) earthquakes in the area since last Saturday night. Nothing major yet (largest was a 5.3), but the near constant minor rumbling is unsettling.

Of course, if Yellowstone blows I'll be buried in ash, and the rest of the country will be screwed too.

So many minor earthquakes up in Idaho? Really? Crap.

Please stay safe

Good luck and safe travels @Willy4UK

I'm in Sarasota currently helping box up our office. I'm wrapping up the outside of my place like a Dexter hit, loaded with supplies and am doing everything I can to help my elderly neighbors surrounding me who can't/won't leave. I've never not looked forward to a weekend this much.

Amazingly Sarasota and Tampa area have been a refuge from hurricanes for quite awhile. I lived off Bee Ridge back in the day. Boring place but absolutely gorgeous! Stay safe!

Theres been earthquake swarms around Yellowstone for the last few years I believe. That's definitely not a good sign, the lava is probably building up and expanding. Hopefully it doesn't blow for a long long time but its probably due

Most of the country will be screwed when it does.

Yeah most people don't have a grasp what sort of catastrophe that would be... Probably for the best.

It would easily be the worst natural disaster in American history. It would potentially wipe out two-thirds of the country. Millions would probably die. And those who don't die will suffer from it in some way. Hope I'm long gone in the dirt before that happens.

Good lord, hopefully not. We're talking epic. I mean beyond all comprehension.

Landfall in the Everglades would be best case scenario IMO. That's what this looks like. Key West is done for though. This announcement came out about KW:

He's not wrong. This storm is capable of wiping the Keys off the map. Their only protection is the Mangroves. Hope it's not as bad as expected and I sincerely hope no one thinks it's even remotely smart to try to ride this out down there.

That interpreter was certainly animated. Could hardly listen to Rick Scotts speech because of that guy.

Me and the wife were laughing pretty hard watching him. That moment when you feel awful for laughing at a very tough situation but that dude was on a roll.

Damn wish it would stay a 3 now but that's very unlikely.

The big problem for us now is getting the full brunt of the storm which is always the north east side. F

wow it looks now like Sarasota/Tampa could get hit...oops. Miami has gotta be breathing a sigh of relief though.

Keys gonna get bent over. Praying for the best, one of my favorite places to visit.

There wastewater disposal from fracking in the area?

As for Florida, some family just got back. They bought a small place in a 55+ near Bradenton 6 months ago, hope it's still there after this. His neighbors are staying, no way I would in a cracker jack box.

Well, the person that you screenshotted that obviously didn't know that so I logically assumed you were uninformed as well.

Then why were you/they saying they don't know what happened to the water and that it was missing?

It's okay to say, "I didn't know that."
