Being in the eye of a hurricane is the closest thing to the apocalypse that I've ever experienced.

All the angry wind you heard 10 minutes earlier is gone. The skies are calm, there's even a bit of sunshine. But there's this eerie feeling that the worst is yet to come, so you run back inside and 10 minutes later all hell breaks loose.

It's traveling 1 mile an hour.... 1 mile an hour... At this point it's officially a South Florida senior citizen.... Just windy, slow, and doesn't like carribean islanders

Live stream from the news has started.

My dad went to work, even though the store is in an evacuation zone. Guess people are going fishing today.

They’re still looking at hurricane force winds along the coastal counties. I’m not sure I’d be so brave as to go fishing today.

gangsterkathryn @gangsterkathryn and @conor mcgregor nut hugger , are you feeling any weather yet? Looks like some of the bands may be strafing the southern parts of the state. Winds rains etc?

Well at least it means the westward movement is slowing down like they predicted.

The home depots and Lowe’s in our area have stepped their games up. Went to buy a generator this morning and was worried it would be a mad house like usual but they had a bunch left and had it organized to limit hysteria from the customers. Now we’ll be covered should we lose power for long (which is very likely).

I was at Home Depot Thursday to pick up the sand and plastic for the store (I ordered it for pick up), and it was madness. Gonna say that store’s management team got their shit together and made a good plan.

Even the local publix had water rationed out with a store clerk sitting there making sure no one takes more than they’re allowed etc. Seems like some folks are learning from prior experiences.

My mom went to Costco Friday and she said they had signs everywhere that said “two cases only!” But no one was patrolling. When she got up to the registers, each one had two people. A cashier and a runner. The runners put two cases on the belt and the rest over two on a cart, when it filled, one runner would take the cart back to the pallet, which is on the opposite side of the store.
I think it worked well because if anyone really freaked, managers were right there to shut it down, rather than in the back of the store.


We just stood at the front of my store and asked every customer that came in what brought them in so I could deter customers from looking for everything we didn’t have.
