Ol Irma is strengthing looks like it might be a Cat 4 soon.

 

Yeah. I was hoping it would curl up north. Now I'm hoping it stays south. Not that the gulf needs another hit, but maybe it will get ripped to shreds crossing Cuba...

 

Yeah I hear ya im thinking its going to go south over the keys and Miami than head north possibly make landfall in louisiana

 

welp, guess I'll start prepping

 

well the carfax showed that the chevy I was going to look at had been in a front end collision that deployed the airbag, so I'm going to pass on that lol

 

Already went to walmart. Pretty damn quiet @ 7am. Got water, baby food, and canned food. Looking at the maps I can't tell weather to run or not.

 

Here's the best website to monitor Irma that I have found.

I'm in South Carolina for work and won't be home until Saturday evening. I'm hoping things aren't too dire when I get there.

 

Took my truck off-road for the first time

 

Sat it will be by Cuba so keep a close eye on it cause you dont wanna come down if your going to turn around and head back north

 

By far the most knowledgeable fore cast. Im heading North if she is a cat 3 she'll be strong. I would say get on the road sometime thursday

 

I was thinking Thursday night also. Hopefully everyone else leaves Friday and we have 12 hours of lead time.

 

I need to get down there to secure my stuff and board up. As long as I have time to do that, I'm good. Matthew passed by pretty close and I didn't get any damage. I'd just feel more comfortable if my truck wasn't parked at the airport and my bike was in a more secure location.

 

You need to phone a friend or fly down and fly back.

 

I don't have that luxury or flexibility.

 

Sorry about that. But I don't think I would be running towards a cat 3 or 4. Things can be replaced but Lee's cannot.

 

Bet it doesn't hit a 4

 

Lol. All scare tactics?

 

My ex-wife would argue that one with ya'!

If it looks like an east coast landfall, I've got a couple of fall back points to hunker down. I just need to secure a few heirlooms and grab my SHTF gear so I'm covered when I go back to sort through the rubble. My place has been upgraded to Cat 3 code, but I'm not staying there for anything more than a Cat 2.

 

Im thinking strong cat 3 sustained winds over 120. It all depends if it stays over the water or hit some mountains.
