Hurricane Irma Thread AKA Floridian Devastation

[SuburbanFarmer]

My mom's house just got put into a mandatory evacuation zone. She's already panicked, and can't get her generator to start.
I told her to come up here last week, badgered, pushed, she was all zen-master. Now it's real, and it's too late.

This is why you make a plan. Because life gets very real, very quickly.

Yep.

Hope she stays safe.

Just found out my brother, just N of Orlando, is "evacuating" to Hawaii.

Jose is a Cat 4 now, too.

Jose doesn't hit the US. It's fucking up the islands, and going ocean-bound.

Planned vacation. It actually works out because his wife's sister is coming in from evacuating the coast to stay in his house and mind the property and the cat. And to get the hell away from the storm surge.

So many people stayed. It really pisses me the fuck off. It's not like any of them can do a damned thing to stop the hurricane from wrecking their homes, but they have all the power in the world to get out while the getting was possible.
