    Its really weird seeing the folks who are there posting on here but also knowing all the peeps, PJ, family, friends, co-workers, et. al. that are either there, fleeing, hunkering down or have family/friends doing the same. I just hope I wake up on Monday and realize that everyone that I know that is there or has a connection there is still around and okay. Please stay safe, good luck and hope to see/read you all on the other side.

    Well I'm as ready as I'll ever be here in the Palm Beach. I even tuned my bicycle in case my cars are incapacitated and took a large amount of cash in case of prolonged power outage. My main worries though are the possible tornados after Irma has passed through. 

    Peace
    Good luck bro I hope you stay safe after Sandy these scare the hell outta me ..
    Didn't you have a tree go through your living room?
    Yep not my living room but my daughters room and knocked out the bathroom next to her room too took down my furnace chimney and squashed the wood burning stove stack !!

    I was thinking about him, he lives in Jupiter which is just north of me. I haven't heard from him on here for while now but hope him and his family are well. I had to go to work to save my merchandise and secure the Club and back to work on Tuesday. Thank goodness we have generators larger than a single family home.

    Hearing Irma is heading a bit further west but I still expect to get hit here in West Palm Beach and loss of power for at least two weeks.

    Peace

    I hope it all goes according to plan g and p. I am a bit worried to be honest, but if you think you'll be okay to ride it out I'm sure you have good reason to.... (hope you do evacuate if you get the slightest inkling it will be worse than you imagined though). Use a bit of that generator's juice to let us know you're okay after. ;)

    Hoping everyone in the path stays safe and sound, along with everyone they care about.

    All is well so far, I'm a little bored it's just me myself and I. I cooked up a storm (no pun) 2 slabs of pressure cooked ribs, pan of orange chicken and a pot of rice that can serve 5 for 3 days easy. On the ribs I like it spicy but took it easy this time in that this hot sauce is so damn hot.....it's hot going in and hotter coming out.

    Florida police have warned people not to fire their weapons at Hurricane Irma after thousands responded to a Facebook event.

    "To clarify, DO NOT shoot weapons @ #Irma. You won’t make it turn around & it will have very dangerous side effects," the Pasco Sheriff's office tweeted late Saturday.

    The Facebook event is titled "Shoot at Hurricane Irma" and over 50,000 people have expressed interest in taking part.
