We had 4 hits in Florida during the 2004 season

2004 wasn't a good year at all.  If Irma hits FL, it's going to make 2004 look calm.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Governor Rick Scott ordered 7,000 National Guard troops to report for duty by Friday morning. Of those, 100 were activated Tuesday to begin helping with preparations, he said.

Keep praying that Irma will take a sharp turn and die in the ocean.

Why yes, yes they are.
Actually, I had heard it was on a barge just off the coast.

Someone needs to alert them to bring some dinghies to protest.  Oh, and contrary to popular belief, the Coast Guard does NOT require lifejackets to be worn.

I did my part.  I topped of my tank and I'm hoarding various and sundry food stuffs!..  I also have 40 rolls of plush charmin for personal use and 24 rolls of some Generic single ply brand that feels like 400 grit on your crack for trading and bartering purposes.

I went through Ike but was in Alaska for Rita, so the numbers jump out at me.

Cheers!

Seeing noticeably heavy traffic at gas stations in Tampa this afternoon.   It's not like the 70s or anything, but if you need to top off, do it sooner than later.

Before the storm, that is when you want to be making sure your gasoline tanks are filled up.  Panic afterwards when it is harder to get the refill tankers in makes it far worse.

Florida tolls suspended on all roadways starting at 5 p.m.
WPLG Local 10 TV, Sep 5, 2017, Updated: 3:38 PM ET

MIAMI - Gov. RIck Scott has ordered the suspension of tolls on all Florida roadways starting at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

"They will be suspended for the duration of the storm’s impacts to Florida," Scott said in a statement. "Ensuring the safety of Florida families and visitors is our top priority and suspending tolls statewide will help people quickly evacuate and make it easier for all Floridians to access important hurricane supplies to ensure they are fully prepared." 

The move is being made to help facilitate evacuations which will begin in earnest Wednesday in Monroe County and at a slower pace in Miami-Dade.

Broward County has yet to announce evacuation plans.

Houston did this, the tolls are still waived but I expect that to end soon.

They are dingy enough. They'll barge in anyway.

Hey! @Oceander, you're in marketing, right? Maybe do some flyers or something billing this as a gathering of the Great Whites.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
