Got some good kidnapping supplies too.
 
Thanks for the recommendations.

Latest GFS run shows it now hugging the east coast of the state. That is good and bad. A jog of 30 or 40 miles east or west on that track makes an enormous difference.

Stay safe man.

That's actually terrible news for us. Marco Island and Collier County are being asked to evacuate. I imagine I-75 will be North bound only in about 36 hours.

Edit: Spaghetti is hugging the west coast now. Which is no es bueno for Naples/Ft Myers north to Tampa/St Pete.

Condoms? Only sailors use condom. They ought to the filthy buggers, they go from port to port.

Saw on the news tonight that to go from Ft Myers to the Georgia state line they are expecting it to take 80 hours.
 
Publix guy told me that every Publix in SWFL will be getting 80 pallets of water each tomorrow.

Good to know. I'm set, but some of my neighbors may not be. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure you've been through this before, but it could be pretty bad. Stay safe.

No kidding? As Sweet Brown once so eloquently stated, "Ain't nobody got time for that."
 
Yeah, it's my second favorite. First being my 8"Anaconda.

Since you're quoting Ron White - he once said, "it's like a cheese wheel - it won't reach all the way in but it'll stretch out the sides."

This is a weird hurricane party. You missed the shovel and the lye.
 
Behr's list...

You do have a good list, you probably have it, but figured I'd mention:

Bleach
Baby wipes
Multi-tool
Citronella candles
Heater for the food (camp/hiking stove, etc)
Individual Gatorade packets

Just some random items I've found invaluable.
