RE: Prepping and waiting for Hurricane Irma - emergency links for FL residents included
My understanding is that when a mandatory evacuation order is given.
If you stay you're own your own.
Don't expect to be rescued.
You're just exactly where you want to be...enjoy it while you're alive.
If we get evacuation orders my ass is gone. I'm not going to be one of those people who didn't listen to a mandatory order and put other people's lives at risk.
I was a trucker.
I helped with the aftermath of Katrina and half a dozen other hurricanes.
After what I saw during those years I'd be high tailing it for the high ground way ahead of any mandatory evacuation odur.
oh..fun fact.
I was in dallas when they had a F5 tornado rip thru. I saw a video of it tossing semitrucks around like kids playtoys.
That was a MONSTER F5 (windspeeds of over 200 mph)
Irma has windspeeds of over 200mph.
Irma is a tornado the size of Ohio...
Just so ya know.
If you are in Florida that might have happened...
We got the mandatory evacuation notice because we live in a tin can. So we're off to a friend's block house to hunker down. I'm sure we'll have to deal with some sort of flooding but we're high enough that storm surge isn't an issue.
if you live on the east coast it looks like you're catching a break.
the west coast...however...is about to get fornicated.
Unfortunately,
I'm thinking they could be in the middle of it about now.
Thinking of you and wishing you well @merej99
