I hope all of our Florida members are buttoned up or moved out by now. I know Mr. Recovery is right in the crosshairs of this storm.

"Herricane" :lol: :roll: Milton has turned to the south some so my area will not be a direct hit but, we will get a lot of rain and 50 to70 MPH winds. I am riding out the storm. :|

If you try to leave now you will be stuck in the storm behind all of the traffic that has run out of gas and blocked the roads. Same as the last storm.

I've a question for our Florida residents. Has the Regional Incident Management Team turned the inbound freeways around to counterflow?

My team did that for Katrina. OMG what a project THAT was.

Our Fla. residents are probably a bit too busy or have no power about this time.
