I'm not really sure what to say other than be safe and good luck.

Seconded. Stay safe everyone in FL.
So trade that typical for something colorful, and if it's crazy live a little crazy!

Thank you guys. I am on the East coast so not much impact here, but prepped by filling gas, having propane, water/beer, all the essentials. My family and friends in Tampa are ok as well.

Here are a couple of cool sites for tracking it:

Very breezy today, sustained winds around 30mph, will stay like that until late tonight I guess. No damages here, just some debris. My friends and family in Tampa are fine, most have power and all. My niece in Orlando is without power, and streets are flooded a bit. The huge hit, as expected was the area it made landfall, around Sanibel island and Port Charlotte in the lower west coast of FL. There were a lot of damages there, 2 Million people without power, 150mph winds, flooding, and a few confirmed deaths. One bridge collapsed, which was the only road to Sanibel and Captiva islands, so people lost the only way to get to/from their homes there.


Worst of it is over for Florida, but it was a huge storm.
