May we all remain safe and sober during hurricane Ian! We’ve got this. Do a puzzle, read a book, play cards, do yoga… stay strong!

I think my nephew and his wife (they live in St. Pete) are going to come up and ride out the storm here.
Wishing everyone in Ian’s path safety and sobriety.

Kinda hits home. Our other office is in Tampa and a lot of them are affected.
They gave everyone time off and offered some to come up with us for a week while they are evacuated, and can work,

I’m in northeast Florida . Not sure how much we will be effected but I’m preparing to be safe. Got plenty of water and can food Incase the power goes out … books and I have a guitar amp that can run on batteries . Might do some writing and creative things . Probably going to be stuck inside for a few days but I will try to make the best of it . Going to try to be outside as much as possible the next couple days up till when the rain starts coming … Stay safe everyone

Meanwhile in Tampa…
One of my friends sent me this. She said they haven’t had a hurricane hit in 100 years so they are taking their bets

I may be asking a stupid qn but it keeps crossing my mind is it more dangerous to be locked in a basement during the hurricane if there is flooding ? Sorry if this seems like the most stupidist qn im in the uk and honestly dont understand how you will stay safe and i am very worried for you all.
Im between wfla and agenda free tv news and any news stations on constant. I know im in the uk but im one of those people who worries about all people anywhere.

We don’t have basements here. The soil in Florida is 90% sand and wouldn’t support it.

You’re fine to keep chatting! It helps pass the time 
There’s a possibility we lose power and at times cell service but I’m hoping the cell service stays! Will check in when possible. At least for us in central florida the storm is supposed to be significantly less damaging than for the west coast of florida!

Keep us posted when you can and keep those phone chargers charged. Thinking of you and our friends in the Keys.
Glad @DLS is up north.

Im thinking yes keep everything charged and download as much films or stuff you like to watch that doesn’t need cell service once downloaded.
Maybe cook some cold pastas that can be eaten cold like tuna mayo pasta?
You probably know and have thought of everything i wouldnt even imagine has to be thought of.

You’re not wrong about those things! Luckily I like to read so I have plenty of books on deck. I grew up in Florida so this “ain’t my first rodeo” as they say. It’s always stressful though as I own a commercial plant nursery so I’m constantly worried about that! but we’ve done all we can to prepare and now we ride it out.
