South end of Orlando here, not much to worry about yet. I did have access to 2 garages close to the house, 1 for the outdoor Vette and 1 for the truck. I lost the garage spot for the truck, so trying to find a place. Plenty of liquids and multiple Yeti's in stock.

Called the gas company this morning and the said up to six days for a delivery at this point
Propane delivered this afternoon

Club choice would be critical in that scenario. Let us know how it turns out.

I urge all my friends in Florida to be careful. I can't afford to go to 27 Baby Showers nine months from now.

When people are panic-buying supplies just before the storm do they ever think of condoms?

Why yes some do....


Totally sucks that Dorian is going to slow down just when it hits land and crawl up the coast. Hasn't turned out well when this has happened with other tropical storms. Hopefully it blows itself out amd just turns into a big rain event. Now I might get rain in a week from it, 4 or 5 days to crawl up the coast. Inlaws and some family heading to Mrytle Beach this weekend for a week. Told them this was a bad timd of the year to go many times.

Stay safe Florida peeps.

You do realize most people are idiots? And stupid people breed at higher rates .

Living in Florida and not having 1-2 weeks of food and water available prior to hurricane season is like living in Alaska and suddenly discovering you need winter clothes in the fall.

Some household hacks to help you get through a disaster and the aftermath:

I'm sure most are aware of some if not most of these, but I got a few ideas from them.
