There are way too many morons around Orlando for my liking talking about how excited they are for this storm or about how wasted they’re gonna get and how hard they’re gonna party. That’s behavior I expect out of people when it’s a tropical storm or Category 1 storm…I’ve slept through those. This thing is going to hit the state as a Cat 3-4 which means people are going to lose their homes. These morons definitely have never lost their home in one, had a relative lose their home (I’ve had two), or seen the aftermath in person. I’d like to see these idiots go a month without power and see how excited they still are. (Needless to say they’ve got it down to a science it won’t be a month these days.)
Also…I swear if my neighbors across the hall don’t take their damn trash can in and it hits my door once Hurricane force winds start blowing…I’ll go out there in the storm and Chuck that damn thing in the pond. Fools are gonna get someone’s car damaged.

I might get deployed to Florida after the storm hits. As an auto damage adjuster they sometimes pull people from other regions to help local adjuster teams after a catastrophe. I'm on stand by and should know before Thursday if I'm getting deployed.
I pray for the safety and well being of everyone in the hurricane's path. If you're affected, please stay safe.

Name a hurricane Ian, don’t be surprised people aren’t taking it seriously. People probably didn't take Gustav seriously as a hurricane name either until it showed up. Hopefully the idiots that Tex is around WAKE UP.

The most damaging storm in American history (so far) was Hurricane Sandy.
Its summer lovin' was a couple months late and it did not happen so fast.

One thing I don't miss from living on the coast is worrying about hurricanes. Sure I am only 3 hours from the coast. But up here all that happens is we lose power for a bit.
Everybody please be safe. Already had too many family and friends lose their homes during Katrina . Plus lost someone I loved at one time in that horrible Hurricane.

I live about 4 hours north of the geographical center of North America, hurricanes have never been an issue for me. Overland flooding, massive blizzards and the occasional tornado, sure, but I’ve never had to worry about a hurricane

Winds are just below cat 5. Jesus it may miss a direct hit on tampa but the place where it does it’s going to be very bad. You can see why Tony khan rightly put out that tweet because yes wrestling is important but let’s be honest when it’s a choice between that and your safety and families safety it’s a no brainer. I hope everyone in Florida will be okay.

Yeah there is a slight chance this will be a Cat 5 on landfall which it was only about a 14 mile an hour wind difference last I looked...which is pretty negligible when you're talking sustained winds that high...
I'm close to the SC coast and there are models showing it coming off of Florida and restrengthening over the Atlantic and making a second landfall here in SC as either a Cat 1 or 2 so I'm closely watching this storm...
*edit* I take back that slight chance and I actually think there is a strong possibility that it is a cat 5 at this point. It has slowed down over some of the hottest water in the Atlantic which is just making this damn thing stronger...
Reports of 158 sustained and 185 gusts right now in the storm...

Even though I was lucky to not have been hit as hard as some areas in the Northeast were, I remember driving down to the South shore of Long Island to check to see how a friend of my moms was doing. Driving down the road and seeing no cars on the road, no street lights on, no electricity, no sound at all. It felt as if the world had ended.

Work decided at 11AM we’d close for dinner and all day tomorrow. So you all literally made one employee go in to work lunch? Stupidity. Got some rain and wind right now but that worst should be here tonight or tomorrow.

I live in southwest Florida in Bonita Springs. I work at Target. But, right now I’m on vacation in Spain (a vacation that was planned MONTHS in advance.) it’s for a family wedding. Target approved of this vacation MONTHS in advance and they still allowed me to go due to the fact that they approved of it and also for safety purposes. One of the managers even told me that they may call me if the store closes (she didn’t know about my Spain trip.) when I told her about my trip, she said that was good. If any person at Target gave me grief about me leaving (which they didn’t), I would give my side of the story.
If that’s not a coincidence, than this is. My house just got new hurricane-proof windows just last week.
However, there are some people who still think we are in Florida and try to contact us only to be told we are in Spain.
During my trip, I found out that the storm will miss us and is going to strike between Tampa and Fort Myers (which is north of me.)
