If you die, I'll kill you!

Please don't!

GL stay safe, i'm over on the miami side myself.

You guys should get hit somewhat, but Irma is gonna make the west side her bitch.

Get to safer ground as soon as you can!

I should also mention I'm on the second floor of a condo unit, so I feel better. Plus, as I mentioned, I'm still in an area of Fort Myers of higher elevation, even as storm surge maps keep showing the surge coming up further and further up from the shoreline and river north of me.

I've been watching the footage. I would get as far north as you can, at least away from the coasts!

Please be safe

I promise to stay inside and cry like a pansy whilst in the fetal position, slowly rocking myself back and forth on the cold tile floor of my bedroom closet.

X3

Wish you luck and stay safe

Thank you - I'll try my best to stay in one piece. Somehow.

Damn...

Stay as safe as you can.

Will do the best I can to stay safe. Should also note that I've been informed my windows are hurricane-rated up to 180mph (apparently). The complex was built two years after Charley hit.

Here's wishing you and yours the best, man.

Thank you. I'll need all the good "juju" I can muster during the next 48 hours, mostly during the critical 18 hours of Sunday as the storm moves through the area.

Just stay away from windows. Barricade what you can, and I wish for your safety.

Windows themselves are hurricane-rated, but yeah, still have to watch out for whatever flying objects might be about. I'll be in the central room of my house as it only has one small window that faces out toward lanai.

Oh gods, good luck. O__O;; *hugs!* is there no way you can get out?

Haha, its wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too late for that. I'm hunkered down. I'm like a dung beetle that refuses to let go of his sh**.

Bad analogy sure, but I'm staying put.

<:_:> I'm so sorry! *hugs* I'm up here in New England- only thing we ever gotta worry over is snow in the winter and the occasional freaky nor'easter. Hahaha, the analogy is great and it works xD;; I'm glad you're able to make some light of it, but holy heck I am terrified for my inlaws and friends like you down there who are staying. O_O;; I mean I hear you guys are super-well-built in most areas (as opposed to up here where any weather like Irma would wipe us off the map with our 1800s-and-older buildings not built for hurricanes), but... eeeeeee... *kitsune alarm face*

I lived through Sandy when I was up north and without power for a week. Then a month later we had that freak nor-easter right around Halloween that knocked out power again for another week. So... I'm kinda used to hurricanes in a way, though I hope we don't lose power for as long down here since most cables and such are run underground.

Oh wow, that's impressive 0.0 I loooved the frankenstorm though, and I was driving a 70 mile trek home that night watching the trees falling around me and my car in the snow while the clouds flashed green and purple from the lightning above the snow. Hurricane Sandy didn't go as far north as I am so we missed out, but that frankenstorm was rough for others. 40 car accidents on one of the main routes home, tons without power for two weeks.. ^^* I only lost power for a day cause I was near an official building so that was lucky.

Stay as safe as you can man!

I will try my best!!

Stay safe.

Thank you.

*Nods*

Good luck to you, and hope for the best.

Thank you, and that's all I can do at this point. :(

I'm not much better, to be honest. I'm further north, over in Hudson... but it certainly looks like we're gonna get hammered here as well.

Hopefully you're in a good spot in Hudson: I keep referring to http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/gra.....ation#contents whenever its updated with new storm surge info.

Dude I'm sorry for the late response. I hope you are staying safe I'm praying for you. Take care of yourself.
