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

This is where the college program is of great benefit…

If you’re young and unattached - as many regular emps but all CP are - ride out crew is fairly awesome (relatively speaking)

And if they get paid to work or sit around still on the clock ? That would be a nice paycheck.

They do…and it is a great way to pick up babes too…

(Is my Internal monologue working?…I think so…pretty sure)

Unless the state implements the one way evacuation plan for highways in the area: I-4, I-75, the Turnpike - those roads can become parking lots. UNLESS ordered to evacuate, the best plan is to shelter in place.

They said on the news there are no plans to because it makes it harder for emergency crews to get into the areas when they do that but they are considering opening emergency lanes on both sides to traffic.

Don't forget about the tornado threat with this hurricane either. The eastern side of the storm usually has the tornado spinups, which could also effect the Orlando area.

If you have cable or fiber voip phone service your connection depends on having electricity for your modem or ONT. Fewer and fewer people are being served by Copper POTS analog phone, which sourced its "power" from the telephone company Central Office.

I specifically said no to VOIP when it was offered - still old school same type of line I had 40 years ago.

I’m not sure if this was mentioned yet but SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove will be closed tomorrow and Thursday.
And it’s possible Disney and Universal will follow suit.

My daughter is college program, and has signed up for ride out crew, along with a lot of her friends. They are actually looking forward to it!

It’s actually pretty fun. I had a crew of Mostly college and internationals many moons ago. Storm ended up being a dud…which was good…but still a cool thing to try.

Probably 99%…but the management sucks

They are “hoping” they get lucky and don’t have to give compensation. They’re wrong

Also, appears that Howl-O-Scream is cancelled for Thursday at SeaWorld.

This is why I still have my boomer landline. Between the two I should have some sort of service.

Good luck but we had neither after Sandy Fingers crossed it goes better for you

If the park was closed, I would assume it would be as well

Was this Hurricane Agnes?

Was this Hurricane Agnes?

Might have been Floyd I swear.

I spent the morning putting up my hurricane shutters. It looks like Sarasota may take a direct hit. I live in between Sarasota and Tampa in Manatee County. So far it's just light rain and wind, but I know it won't last long.

 

[Vacationeer]

Yeah not sure why WDW hasn’t confirmed tomorrow’s plans yet. Is there even a chance to keep the park open to 2pm anymore? This really sucks. Hope everybody finds comfort through this dreadful hurricane and recovers asap.

We’re under a tornado watch here in Port St. Lucie. Got the notification on our devices about 15 minutes ago.
