As that bitch of a storm takes aim at you, take care of yourselves.  That thing looks like it's no joke.

Thinking of all of you.

Hopefully now that the Miami games have been canceled that storm will take a big right turn into the middle of the Atlantic.

It's set to hit me very directly at the moment.  I was hoping it would miss us to the southwest, but has turned.  Our best bet now is that it continues to pull East and goes off the coast.

I've lived here my whole life and seen a bunch of storms, but this one feels different.  I think that after seeing Houston, people are freaked out.  There are shortages on supplies already.  That's weird.  Normally, you could still get stuff several days out very easily.

I am, quite literally, about to run out of gas. I waited in three different lines today, and all three ran out of gas before I could get to the pump.

Some cities have issued the evac order, including Miami Beach...

We made it through in Tampa okay...no power though.  Luckily it was a 2 or 1 when it made its way to us.  How's everyone else doing?

I had an entire tree come down on my house. It is a large oak that would take two guys with Kobe Bryant's wing span to reach around the base. There is no way For me to get it off so I'm dealing with insurance as it is going to take a crane. My friend a few doors down also had a tree split in the neighbor's yard and half went on the house and half blocked the street. He was much luckier than I with the damage done and we were able to clear half the street and get the tree off the house.

Everyone immediately around me was safe but I still have not had time to check on everyone around town as there is just so much to do in the aftermath of something like this.

That really sucks, sorry to hear that.  Oak trees are everywhere here and a lot were uprooted or split, but I haven't seen them on anyone's houses.  A lot of close calls though.
