I'm beginning to think Nature just doesn't like Florida.
Also, stay safe.

Yeah, everyone in that vicinity bunker down.
Our call list at work has been in Florida for a couple days, and my apologies if I’ve annoyed anyone during your prep time with soliciting.

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. Sandy has been eclipsed four times since then. 2017 was a REALLY bad year for storms

So far the winds are starting to pick up in my part of Orlando, but it's not too bad yet. Still have power but I'm prepared to hunker down when it gets worse.

Our apartment complex is pretty flooded and I’m learning it’s full of idiot transplants with no common sense. How about not speeding through the water and causing a wake that pushes the water up under other peoples cars? I watched so many people flood their engines today. Then there’s the idiot that did zero pre-storm prep and wanted to alert us all that the gas stations and McDonalds were all closed. No kidding?

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. Slight correction: Sandy was a superstorm, not a hurricane. Pet peeve of mine. Sandy started as a tropical cyclone and went through Cuba and the Caribbean as a Category 3 hurricane. It eventually became a post-tropical cyclone, but "superstorm" is a media buzzword to describe Sandy's massive size (along with the slow speed and general devastation caused) after it absorbed another storm. It isn't an official term used in meteorology.

Name a hurricane Ian, don’t be surprised people aren’t taking it seriously. Why is that? Though I can say that since Ian is my first name I've heard quite a few hurricane jokes from co workers and friends over the past few days. But seriously stay safe everyone.

Certain names just don’t sound threatening.

Still on standby to deploy to Florida for work. If needed they'll call me with details. Have a real strong feeling I'll end up going sooner rather than later.

Good news is the storm went hard inland and lost all of its organization and wind strength. Still going to be messy in terms of rain and flooding, though. Also doesn't help the people of Florida and the Carolina coasts any.

I’ve come to the conclusion that some of these northern transplants need to go the hell back home before natural selection takes them. One idiot where we live (who is a gigantic arrogant prick) didn’t do any prep Whatsoever for the storm. Once it blew through dumbass realized he couldn’t drive through the flooded parking lot and walked his happy ass through the flood waters to the Main Street fully expecting gas stations and McDonalds to be open .
Seriously.
He posted this surprising news to us on the community message board that *gasp* they aren’t open mere hours after the worst of the storm when the power is out and everyone is flooded. Then he offered anyone driving to a store money to buy them and him food because the moron only had snack bars. (All grocery stores flat out said they would be closed.)
