About 20 minutes from Tampa, and I'll be working. Probably safer there than at home.

OP leave my fucking board. Hope you are safe during storm though. Fellow Jacksonvillefag. Hurricanes somehow weaken before they hit us being upstate.

Naples here, riding it out because my parents are stupid and I have no car. I live East of 41 but they didn't board up the windows.

>>39613746
nothing wrong with sticking around, evacuating is a 20 hour drive in this traffic to get out of the storm path. what sort of retard doesn't board up for a cat5 though?

>>39613128
>thinking about buying a uninterruptible power supply for the pc
>biggest one gives maybe 1 hour of use lightly browsing, without vidya
>vidya would bring it down to 30 minutes or less

Guess I need a full blown generator to play vidya in a days long power outtage.

I live in Tampa near USF. Haven't boarded any windows, don't have sandbags, but at least I have enough food and water to last a week. All alone and would rather have a tree in my roof than sit here waiting.

Sarasota here. I'm fully laid in with a stock of the diggity dank, water, fuel, and a generator. I'm going to get totally fucked up!

Orange County here, expecting at least cat 3 winds, only have enough wood to board up one window but at least I have food water a generator and guns. I'm thinking of boarding up my room window and then I'm going to park my car in front of my living room window, it's the best I can do

Lakeland reporting in. Chilling with goth gf and listening to some DOOM instrumentals in the rain. Got the windows boarded up and everything situated

>live in Florida
>not prepared for a hurricane

Do you also get surprised when it gets hot every summer?

>>39615179
Are those who live in California always 100% prepared for water shortages and large earthquakes?

>>39612981
Orlando fag here

>>39614686
Well played anon.
Special Herbs is fantastic.

>>39615523
Braving the storm together, around noon on Sunday is when we should expect the beginning

Hollywood here, breathing a little bit easier that its looking like its hitting more on the west side. But you never know, got enough water to drown in so we are good over here.

>>39613746

good luck robots, youre gonna need it

>>39612981
904 here, looks like I'm dying alone.

>>39613107
Same. Just looked up an interactive map that shows the places that are going to be most flooded and my whole entire neighborhood is going to get flooded. I'm fucking scared.

I would leave, but I'm not going anywhere, since although I have my license, I don't have a car of my own and for whatever reason, my parents are dumb enough to think that staying here is a good idea. I'm afraid of losing all my possessions too. I'm a poorfag and it'd fucking suck if I lost all my video game consoles, my laptop, etc. Even worse, I'm afraid of dying or someone close to me dying. I'm not sure why the fuck we didn't pack up and leave to Georgia at least, where we have some family.

I keep on hearing revolving reports. At one point, they're saying it's going to be a cat 3 at worse over Orlando, then they're saying it's going to be a cat 4.

God, I hate my parents.

>>39612981
What part of Jax? I'm westside (904) myself. I'm terrified I'll lose power for a week like what happened with Matthew

>>39616475
Put your consoles in plastic bags anon, good luck

>>39616660
Going to do so tomorrow, then put them all in higher places.

Just heard that we're probably just going to get 8-15 inches of flooding so even though that fucking sucks, it does mean I can save all my shit.

>>39616475
you shouldnt really worry about dying or anything.

its the water damage that screws over most people. if it floods and that water sits there for even a day, then you'll be dealing with black mold, which is hard to get rid of.

>>39616705
>8-15 inches of flooding
Oh thats not even bad. Here I'm thinking half your house would be submerged. 15 inches is like ankle tier flooding

>>39616737
I'm just afraid of having to spend hundreds of dollars trying to repair everything. If my parents don't have enough money, I might have to chip in some of my own and I don't have a whole lot myself.

>>39616801
That's true but I had no idea until I just heard it on a broadcast. Makes sense, because it's Florida and all though. I still have plenty of shit in my room that could get fucked if I don't move any of it. Books and shit.

Assuming there's no power for a week, what the hell are you robots going to do to pass time?

>>39617246
Probably going to play my 3DS for as long as possible (just a few hours at most probably), then read.

Also Lakeland, no boards or anything. Just food and water, a few books and immense fear of losing power for more than a day.

>>39617379
I lost power for 2 days once and almost burned the house down.

Got so bored that I started putting random pieces of paper inside a candle to watch it burn.

Also stared at a wall and spoke to myself for a few hours, then slept for 12 hours.

Shit sucks

>>39617246
i put a lot of books on an eink kindle. it'll last a month.
