My best friend was evacuating my hometown of Coral Springs, and spent the night here (Kissimmee) on her way up to Georgia. I can get to her house in 2 hours 45 minutes, took her 6 and a half hours to get up the Turnpike to me last night. I am sure that 95 is just as bad.
I was living on my own, for the first time, for one month in 2004 when we got hit by Charlie. I was in a third floor apartment (top floor) and our roof came in, in two places, and the ceiling was so full of water it was sprinkling on me inside no matter where I was. We wound up being homeless for the better part of a month, traveling from place to place since everything was damaged and all the apartments in the UCF area were full up. Since then I have vowed to never live on the top or bottom floor of an apartment ever again. No flooding, no ceilings getting fucked for me. Now I am in a second floor apartment with only two windows, both of which face north. Much more confident about my living situation now, MY BODY IS READY IRMA, ROUND 2, LETS GO FLORIDA HURRICANES!

Fucking westward shift. As of now we're planning on staying in Orlando. Our house was built in 2003 so it's got a decent roof on it. At least if this thing cuts up the state it will weaken some. All of my neighbors and coworkers are staying. My only concern is that I have young kids so they'll likely panic along with my wife, and I'm sick... this will be "fun".
My in laws are preaching doom and gloom along with the destruction of Florida and want to leave but they won't go unless we do. They wanted to evacuate on Wednesday lol. They've got my wife worked up enough to where she called me crying this afternoon.

Seeing lots of people with the "oh shit" realization all the sudden. The same ones who were like "fuck this I'm riding it out" 24 hours ago.
Dumb asses.
This isn't an earthquake, you knew what was coming. Only takes a couple minutes to Google a category 5 hurricane and realize you don't want to be anywhere near it. I don't give a shit about your hurricane shutters or what your house is made of.

It will be scary for sure but by the time it gets here it won't be as severe. My wife's office and mine are business as usual and open tomorrow. Come to think of it, school is open tomorrow to in Orange County.

I'm in Cape Coral, and this shits a roller coaster of emotions. Tuesday I was pretty worried. Yesterday everything shit East and I relaxed. Today we're back west, and I'm pretty uncomfortable. We've got shutters and everything up, have supplies.
Very uneasy. Possibility of chalking me up on that +1!
