Who lives in central or N Fla and gettin ready to bug out?
That TS Dorian was supposed to hit AS a TS. Now it's supposed to hit as a cat 3 Sunday evening and cut right across the peninsula...as of now "Thoughts and prayers" for y'all. Anyone here packing up yet?

we're considering it...don't know what to do. Booking hotels all over for different scenarios.
And consider history. When evacing Fla traffic bottlenecks at Ga. They did 6 lane I-95 all the way to S Carolina line but that bottle necks at Savannah. Then I-16 (only 4 lanes) all the way to Macon. And all the gas stations start going dry. Motels full. I'm not suggesting what to do but if you are in harms way and can leave earlier than most then do! It's a bad storm. Many will be fleeing. It takes guts but if it continues generally on predicted path you might consider going south and ducking under the worst of it. I did that for Hugo when it was heading straight at me and it worked out good. In any case good luck and God's speed partner.
Hunkered down here.
I live in the Tampa area. Heading to Nashville in the morning but of course my wife will be here alone and raising hell with me for being gone. Same thing happened with the 2017 South Bend trip and Hurricane Irma. I also have tickets to this years ND game so look for another hurricane to hit Florida around 9/20.
I'm in Ponte Vedra and we are watching to see what path the storm chooses. If it turns our way we will visit family in Valdosta. All back roads with less traffic.
Good luck and prayers to everyone.
Stay safe everyone. Does not look good, we are watching it close on the Ms. Gulf Coast.
God's speed and good luck to all of you. I've only ridden one hurricane out and it still gives me nightmares.
I'm in Ocala. We're going to ride it out. Hoping and expecting it to lose strength by the time it gets here.
Fernandina Beach - will be staying put. In the last 3 years we have had 2 mandatory evacuations and stayed both times. House is supposedly built to withstand 150mph winds so little to worry about.
I'm at my Apalach home and probably hosting friends from the Melbourne area. Stayed for Michael last year and will do so for most any others that come this way. As most who stay know, the hardest part is usually the week or more after the storm with no power, water, cell service, etc.
19 miles south of Gainesville, FL. Sticking it out and watching the Dawgs on Saturday night and a replay on Sunday. I hear we are getting some rain which is good for my lawn.
My cross country team is scheduled to run Monday morning - that might be a bit iffy but they love running in rain and mud. so there's that....
Yeah I rode out Katrina, never ever again. It gets to cat 2 I am out. Not a hurricane tough guy after that
Staying put! Just hope the winds are not early and spoil watching the game! Waiting for the season to start just takes too long!
This thing is getting big. Y'all pray this thing back into the Altantic for a complete whiff on the US. It's doing a pretty good job of ruining everybody in the state of Florida's Labor Day, and I'm too busy to even think about Vandy.
I have a Chromecast so if the weather knocks out the Diectv dish I will pull it up on the computer and cast to the TV. As long as we have power all is good.
