I think DeSantis is going to offer to evacuate everyone to Martha’s Vineyard.

There's no place to put them.......well, except for those empty hotels waiting for the summer crowd on the vineyard

Just not good here in Tampa, the hype on the news is ridiculous, it's freaking everybody out.

That might cause the natives to revolt.

American media.

All about eyeballs on the screen.  Weather guessers have to also major in high drama.

Hope everyone effected by this is safe and property damage is minimal. Having said that, has anyone suggested just nuking it yet?

Nah, we’ll just vaccinate it.

The sun will come out and it will be beautiful.

All eyes will be on Jim Cantore. Dude is the Angel of death when it comes to hurricane eye making landfall. Stay safe Florida. Ian slowing down and growing substantially 

Gulfcoastguy

Let’s give Cantore a free ticket to Honolulu.

My mom will hunker down. She will put tape on the wrong side of the window as she did up here. There will be no news if she is good or not. She built some  walls

I suspect your mom will have some stories to entertain us with once this is over.

Sounds like it’s going to sit on central FL for twelve hours, not good. We do appreciate you slowing it down for us.

She breaks my heart. Have not heard from her from her for 31 years. She ran away and won't return a call.makes these times horrible.  She makes me sound sane if that's even possible

Sorry @fishlessman

Does Ian hate the Buccaneers or Brady?

It's not looking good here. No water, bread, toilet paper today at 3 different Publix stores. I waited in line for gas at least 25 cars long tonight, but was able to fill the tank. The news is freaking everybody out. Crazy if you leave, crazy if you stay.
