Keep what you need out and handy so you aren't digging around frustrated. Have medicine in baggies and labeled by day. Organization will help tremendously so you aren't stumbling around and at risk of tripping and falling.0

Instead of sand bags - get some heavy duty trash bags & fill them with water & tie them off - Eastcoast Jim0

My parents are in South FL and I think my mom, gma, brother, their three dogs and two cats are going to pack up and come stay with me. Leaving this afternoon. Hoping they don't run out of gas and get here in 24-hours. My dad is staying so he can play hero - I think that's an unwise decision. Even with this past storm they were flooded in their street for two days.0

my son is in Atlanta, so probably won't be as bad, but I am still worried. He is 18 and had lived in SoCal all his life until a few months ago.0

I'm in Vero. Each projection looking better for us. Just waiting for the turn to know for sure.0

My aunt it right in its (her?) warpath in a flimsy trailer house, so I'm praying. Hard.0

Well, we were all set, but my in-laws (who live with us and had been rather cavalier about the whole thing) suddenly freaked out this morning. So instead of doing actual useful things, I've been preoccupied all day with their symbolic, token efforts that do nothing, but make them feel better.0

I'm seeing power outages already, how's it going, how are the highways if you are leaving?0

I'm in Fort Lauderdale & we still have power. Rain & wind is coming & going. We are all shuttered up with plenty of food & supplies.0

Serious question. I live in the North aka, Canada. We don't have hurricanes, but I still have water, batteries and propane on hand and even a water purifier. How can people just be chilling and looking to get the essentials now. Shouldn't that have been done a few days ago? I've been watching this thing for almost a week now.
And why aren't people leaving? Why didn't people vacate before Harvey?
I really am having a hard time to understand.

The news broadcasts like to sensationalize things. There have been many trucks going South in Fla with supplies . The large stores Walmart, Home Depot, Rural King etc have been all getting shipments - I was at a Rural King the other day at 6 AM and they were unloading a supply of generators.
Many people wait until the storm is approaching to get they supplies instead of stocking before hand.
also this storm is a big bad one & is going to tear things up & folks may be panicking a bit - Eastcoast Jim2 -
part 2 - over 5 million people evacuated - It went well - the roads were crowded - delays because of the number of cars - do the math that is at least 1.5 maybe 2 million cars - Eastcoast Jim0

Also, there's a huge margin of error to the predicted track. So often the news will hype up a hurricane a week away, then a week later we just get some clouds and really good surfing as it passes a few hundred miles off the coast. We get kind of jaded to all the warnings that never pan out. It's a boy who cried wolf sort of phenomenon.0 -
Good luck all and stay safe.0

We're all boarded up and ready to go. All that's left is to wait it out.
Good luck and Godspeed, Jack in The Box antenna ball. Hope to see you on the other side.
