Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

[HoustonHorn]

Not sure if anyone watches Kyle, but he is going to be staying at Pop during the Hurricane, in case anyone wants to follow along with the experience.

That is disgusting. The first three minutes are an example of a lot of what is wrong with humanity.

I'm getting updates from the animal care team and they're preparing for a Jurassic Park situation.

As in the water levels rise to a point where the animals are able escape their areas?

Calm. Dark skies. Feeling of apprehension in the air. Walking around with prep already underway. Happy BGM playing despite the knowledge of what’s coming.

And hundreds of cellphone weather alerts all ringing simultaneously.

Captured perfectly in the movie Key Largo sans cell phones...

They’ve asked for people not to text or call them right now. I messaged with them this morning and they’re set up as best as possible but they want to protect their battery life. One friend in PG is posting updates on FB about every hour or so but otherwise just waiting and watching and trying to respect their wishes. There’s nothing I can do from here. They’ll need all the battery they can get after the storm passes.

they will be okay. I know it's stressful for y'all right now.

Looks like it's going to run right across Disney World.

(I'm in no way suggesting that the other areas are not important. Just making an observation. )

Puerto Rico, US and British Virgin Islands, and all over Florida, including Miami and both coasts.

I've gone through more Hurricanes than most humans can even name.

PR was tough. My good friend lost power during 17’ storm got power back several months later in Feb 18’

Cheetahs and lions loose in the reserve would be something.

You're a hop, skip and a jump from me if you end up in Hamlin. I'm in Waterleigh.

We drive past Waterleigh on the 429 when we go to the parks.

We're in non-Disney Windermere adjacent Ocoee.

FFS.. now I gotta drive to GA to retrieve kids because other parents are over the top paranoid. ughhhh

 

[Ayla]

I'm guessing those are all people who didn't bother preparing and had to scramble once they found out the food court would be closing.

Xanax will help for sure . Self medicating seems like an idea for some to ride it out.

I was mostly joking (as they were joking with me)... Last thing we need is the Orlando Sentinel picking this up and warning about big cats gobbling up herons on I-4.

we were at Epcot when the hurricane warning for Matthew hit everyone's iPhones ... just walking across the bridge to France, then alarms everywhere. so strange.

Here's where that video is coming from.

This is wild. Ft. Meyers is under 8-10 feet of storm surge right now. Wild.

 

[esskay]

Looking at the meal kits offered: So limited.
Those who need gluten-free, vegan or who have other allergies are really stuck. Not envious at all.
Hoping this storm passes by fast.

I'm sure if you explained to them that you've got an alergy they'd provide something.

It does seem like the track is keeping more to the south and east, thanks to continued "wobbles." If this holds, it would be great news for the WDW area.

 

[wdwmagic]

10" - 15" rain along the I-4 corridor, localized up to 24" according to National Hurricane center in a briefing just now.
