...its all in the PREPARATION. On its present course, the entire state of Florida will feel impact from Hurricane Dorian. As Steve pointed out, good chance it will intensify over the warm waters by the time it makes landfall on east coast, then across the state to the west coast. . . Batt'n down the hatches, Prepare and Pray guys. Wheelz, Tampa Bay
And it could sweep across the state and hit the Gulf and regroup and hit the Gulf Coast of another state or even the panhandle

Just seen this thread - that looks nasty. Stay safe all in this beasts path guys. Homes and most posessions are replaceable. I'd a been in my Buick with the wife and girls, clothes, food and booze for a long weekend. Sentimental jewellery, photos, hard drive plus gas cans to get us to Briz's place AND back almost twelve hours ago. Kudos for reaching out Briz, storm be buffered - ( sure I put g's in that ) Buicks @ Briz's. Keep the updates coming Jim.
