I'm in SE FL. & it isn't looking to good. I hope it turns away from the east coast.

I wish all my Florida Members the best of luck. Be safe.
I Love to Vacation in Florida, but I will never live there for this reason.
You be Safe Rudy.
Sid, Same to you.

I've been riding them out since Andrew in '92. My worst one was Wilma about '05.

It has weakened back to a Cat4.
For Jamaica's sake we can only hope it weakens more.

Ugh, the islands are going to get smacked

I do hope it slows and breaks up soon.

Rudy, knock some of that wind down before it gets to Charleston. Be safe, we will be riding it out also. Rode out Hugo and that one was scary.

Hope all goes well for those on the east coast.

I hate hurricanes. I just spent enough to buy a few new reels and a couple of rods on hurricane supplies. Better safe than sorry. Good luck to all. Joe

Just got finished putting up the hurricane shutters and securing the patio furniture.
Got my water, extra chlorine for the pool, gas for the generator/vehicles and liquor yesterday before the big rush. It was somewhat crazy yesterday but today is mayhem. Many gas stations are already out of gas and super markets out of water, bread and.......canned Vienna sausages

.

It has been about ten years(?) since the last one for me (Wilma).

Now just have to wait and hope Mathew goes the other way.

Good luck to all in the potential path.

I hope all those in Florida and the southern East Coast are prepping....

I'll be praying for your safety...

Yep visit someone inland. Be safe. Dominick

Been thru about 8 of them with no issue yet. This is one is not as bad as some of the others so riding it out here in Daytona. The worst hurricane that I have ever seen was in Charlotte, NC and Hugo.
