I thought homeowners insurance paid a straight percentage of the house's value for personal possessions/contents. The amount is listed on the policy statement. I don't think there's a need to document items at this point. Just gather your priceless items and get the hell out of Dodge.

@Gulfcoastguy - Thanks for your suggestions. I took pictures of everything last night, even the contents of closets and kitchen cabinets. I have family pics and diplomas and homeowners, flood and boat insurance policies ready to leave with me (plus the contents of my wine fridge!). No pets to worry about, thankfully.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

@Florida Grillin Girl I'm taking photos and video today myself. We try to do this once a year regardless but, it's especially wise before a known threat.

Apparently the Mayor of Miami Dade has NOT committed to an all out evacuation as of yet. My gut thinks he is trying to make sure it is 100% necessary before creating pandemonium amongst this large of a populous. It would be my guess that Miami will get the evacuation order sooner or later and when it does happen 95 North bound is going to be stupid crazy...even more than it already is.

For everyone pushing people to evacuate out of South Florida. At this point there is no Evacuation. Gas is out across florida and there are basically only 2 ways out of Miami. The turpike or I95. And both are clogged. If a person were to leave Miami now, the wouldn't make it to Orlando before running out of gas with no where to fill. They are stuck unless they can carry their own gas and already have said gas.
I wonder how much more difficult it will be to raise money and support for Irma after Harvey. A lot of people just dumped there extra money and items to support Houston. It's probably going to be more difficult to raise support for another hurricane so quickly. Its not going to be the "fad" thing to do.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum -

I think there are a lot out there that'll still be willing to help at all cost.

South FL is sooo isolated if all of FL gets hit, not many ways to get out or get aid in. Not the same as Houston.

It's going to be bad. Worse than Harvey in terms of death, injury, and displacement. Harder to get supplies there as well.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum -
@Thatgrimguy is spot on - getting recovery down there is going to be the hard part. Like its been said, its either the turnpike to I-95 to get in or out.... Only other option would be a water-borne insertion IF there are facilities open that can handle it!!!!

I'd think you'd do better transporting supplies by boat. After the storm of course.

I'm really hoping that Irma bounces more off the Carolina's so she mostly misses Virginia a week from now.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

Naahhh, who needs ports? The Navy will just send some of their LCAC units down from Virginia so trucks can be delivered right onto the beach.

@20stone @Thatgrimguy @Botch what makes hurricane Irma unique is the direction it has taken. If it goes straight up the throat of Florida that means the entire state has to take either 95 or 75. Even if they open up both directions to go northbound you're screwed. Sure it may keep you from only being able to go at 5 or 10 miles an hour but not much more considering you're talking over 3/4 of the state wanting to get the hell out. Even if it hits South Florida and kicks over to the east a little bit and stays in the Atlantic it's going to have an effect the entire State one way or another. Lots of power outages to be expected. And considering a lot of efforts have been brought to Texas (understandably so) power restoration and clean up may be delayed. People need to take a step back, get a grip, hopefully be or already prepared, make sure their family is safe, and either make a decision to leave or hunker down.
