I'm stressing so bad over this storm that is headed our way. I've already been to 3 stores this morning & cant find water

    Since you're unable to find water, I'd begin finding sterile containers; within your home and/or buying them, to store tap water! Even fill the bathtub, for water; to bathe within!

    Try smaller chains. I found some water at Sedanos. But Publix & Walmart have nothing.

    I am more north, but even here people are buying it all up. I was able to get a case or two, but most people had loaded 15+ into their carts.

    Stocking up to resell more than likely

    I hope not, that'd be pretty *kitten*. I live around a lot of older folks, I think they just panic.

    My husband is in Miami and planning to ride it out. My daughter is in Pensacola (Military) and waiting on an evac notice. My other daughter and I will be in Georgia praying until this passes and we hear all is ok.

    I am on pins and needles waiting and worrying. I feel so helpless. I am usually the one that jumps in and fixes things - this one is out of my control.

    I'm in northeast Florida, and we evacuated last fall for Matthew. Right now we're just keeping an eye on the trajectory. We'll fuel up the cars and buy some extra bottles of water, but mostly we're waiting to see which path the storm seems likely to take. My parents are four hours south of us, and if the storm looks like it's going to hit them and spare us, I'll probably have them drive up here...with my 95-year-old grandma who lives closer to the coast than any of us.

    Stay safe, everyone! I'm in Boca Raton and there's nothing left in the stores -- no water, ice, paper goods, batteries, canned food, propane. We're putting the shutters up tomorrow and we're ready to hunker down. Hope we keep our roof!

    It's illegal to price gouge and should be reported to the local attorney general.

    Get a grip. Follow the directions from your government. Panic will only lead to increased anxiety.

    Well we are going to evacuate anyway. So I guess it doesn't matter at this point.
