Gillum was absolutely atrocious in his response to the last hurricane to come through Tallahassee. Hopefully his ambitions will lead him to get the power on quicker.

Probably not a bad decision.  And carpooling is also helpful.

I rode out Irma after deciding against evacuation. When the eye wall skirted the area, I ran out into the 90 mph winds and was able to get a pool float.
Irma was a tropical storm when it hit me. I took some of the rainbow connection and had a blast. This hurricane is definitely going to be stronger.

I'm in southeast Florida so no evacuation for me.
That’s where I’m heading.

In before "I hope it hits Republican areas"

Everywhere in North Florida is a Republican area, so no one needs to say that to begin with.
Tallahassee is the exception.

Tally is already emptied out. It was much easier to get gas today than it would have been yesterday.

Good luck...you are going to need it.
Nah a Cat 3 hurricane is like taking 300 micrograms of LSD - it can be scary, but usually isn’t. I survived Wilma, I’ll get through this. We’re well supplied. The two weeks without power are gonna suck.

Not if you're in an evacuation zone. Cat 3's are nothing to scoff at and should be taken extremely seriously.

Katrina was a Cat 3 when it made landfall.
My family never evacuated aside from Wilma. My brothers and I usually stayed with my Grandma, who lived about six miles inland, but my parents stayed home and never saw any serious damage besides some roof shingles blowing off.

Irma was pretty bad though. My dads boat was severely damaged.
