This one is worth keeping a close eye on, it could jump into the gulf after it crosses Florida.
This cannot be fixed at the voting booth.. Wake Up You Morons!

Cathy lives in Orlando. Not sure if she will hunker down or head north.

I have had a bad feeling about this one from the start, Dorian has led a charmed existence, it's avoided everything that has threatened to tear it apart, it just seems like it's destined to be be bad. I hope I'm wrong!
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

The weather and news channels are all happier than a bird with a french fry. Some have been showing scenes from past hurricanes just to increase the hype. I'll never forget the sheer panic the news media created in the Houston area when Hurricane Rita was approaching Southeast Texas. It was just a month or two after Hurricane Katrina and the local news media did their absolute best to make sure everyone believed Rita would be just as bad if not worse. Several people died from exposure along I-45 when their cars ran out of gas, unable to move due to the numbers of people who got caught up in the hysteria. A bus full of elderly people would burn to death on I-45 between Houston and Dallas the day before the storm was "supposed" to hit the Houston area. In the end, it was a clear, sunny morning in Houston when officials were still cleaning up the aftermath of that horrible event. Rita would eventually turn and hit the the western tip of the Louisiana coast after being downgraded to a Category 3 storm.

Yes, it is a small storm so far but... So don't evacuate or go anywhere when you have days to prepare? Rita was the exception so far so you cannot base all from that one. My friends parents turned around and many others for Rita since the traffic jam was so bad. Still had no power for over 5 days when they got home. We all freak out with no power for 1 hour. I went 3 days in June and then no hot water for 5 days and made it work but was hell. Rita was a massive evacuation failure but lessons were learned so you can't base all storms off that one. As with all hurricanes these days, there is massive panic but only a lessor number are critically impacted so what do you do?? Sit, wait and hope you don't float way or now prepare days in advance? If I was in Houston and not in a flood area, you should be required to have generator and fuel. You can survive a long time but most don't prepare.

If I was in Houston and not in a flood area, you should be required to have generator and fuel. You can survive a long time but most don't prepare. I'm trying not to watch the hype. I've got one kid in Miami and one kid in Jacksonville. The Miami daughter is my baby and she's having a baby, after losing two previous pregnancies. I've talked to both of them and asked questions about their preparedness and if they should stay, etc., but at the same time trying not to piss them off; they're both independent types and can fly off the handle at the drop of a hat. (I have no idea where they get that from.) The baby and her husband are supposed to be coming over here to Texas (flying) right before it hits, but I'm not sure they're gonna time that right. The one in Jacksonville says they're prepped and should be fine. Both of their husbands are supposed to be protecting them, but...millennial son-in-laws...who knows. They know how I feel. I'm sorry, it's just BS to live in that state, particularly the southern 1/2. Every year we gotta go through this.

So what building products company should we invest in right now for the rebuilding of Florida?
Hope everyone over there plays it safe with minimal damage and casualties.

Why? Have you ever rode out a hurricane before? It doesn't make you tough and it's about as much fun as a colonoscopy so unless you're into that stuff I would leave. Actually, I'd be gone yesterday.

Texas Dan will make a mountain out of a mile hill when it comes to things that dont matter, yet poo-poos people getting worried about a catastrophic event like a hurricane, which could kill people and destroy property. Some people just like to complain about shtuff. Sad.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

They said Dorian is a direct hit to Mister President Mar-a-Lago’s private estate.
