Had mandatory evacuation. Holed up with SO, sister, sister's husband, and mother. This address will be under mandatory evacuation order at 7 am tomorrow. Sister and her husband will not leave. Mom wants to stay with her daughter. SO seems to want to stay with his mother. Sister's husband doesn't want us here. I don't want to be here. I want to get a hotel room. I might want to go back home if I have to ignore mandatory evacuation orders anyway. I finally became a homeowner. If I might die in a flood of 10 feet, I might rather die at home. Families are wonderful. The politics of families just aren't in my experience. | ||

Get the hell out of there and onto higher ground inland, Daniel. Ultimately, you can't make other people do the right thing, but you can save yourself. Big Al

Daniel, I hope you and yours are all ok! But yes, you can only do so much for others. If they don't want to join you in being safe, you can still take appropriate precautions on your own.

I think your best move is to - move! (Out of harms way) Good luck!

Good luck, Daniel, and please stay safe. You can’t make other people do the right thing, but you can choose the right thing for yourself.

The hurricane has sucked the water out of Tampa Bay.

On a related "where did the ocean go?" note... We were watching Weather Channel and they had a camera on a bay where a bunch of boats were tied up to a dock. "Before" picture shows the boats floating in water. "After" picture shows them sitting in mud.

Just saw news footage of a fire station in Naples. The firefighters were up to their waists in water. Trucks partially submerged, too. Yikes.

It missed us. Forecast wind in low 40's. Actual in low 30's. Going back today. Don't expect any damage. No rain forecast. Expect all rain to be evaporated by end of day. | |||
