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

UPS truck just drove by my house.

I'm hoping you live in Kansas or Ohio

Yes they are. I was just watching a live tiktok stream from the BCYC pool. Kids on the slide and all

While really stupid, we're not expected to get really strong winds until later today.

Ugh, worst of the weather expected to land in the Orlando area around 9pm, according to the WESH stream I just took a peek at. Hate having to go through that during the night.

I'm in Winter Garden - Disney Winter Garden otherwise known as Horizons West. About 10 minutes from Western Way.

I guess people needed their Amazon.

They are always at night. *sigh*

Reading the notes on the last update they seem to expect this thing to be pretty strong as it passes through central florida. No longer just expecting a rain dump. Those external walkways are looking unsafe soon.

You wont be allowed to use them anyway, the resorts go on lockdown.

They're still not expecting that kind of force in Central FL. Will be strong. But not Cat 4 or 5 strong. I don't envy anyone along the Tampa area Gulf Coast right now. That's where the high winds will be.

Starting at 11pm to skip past an ad.

We’re waiting with baited breath to see if we’ll have a house left. And we have family and friends that didn’t evacuate. It’s looking like we’ll take a direct hit. It’s awful waiting.

TEAL71 heading towards Clearwater appears to be setting up one last pass through eye to get final reading before landfall

You can use "Bay Lake" as a better location for WDW.

Wow, that is ridiculous! Stay safe.

The wind and rain has started to intensify here In the Sarasota/Bradenton area. I woke up the the sound of wind whistling through the trees in my back yard. Multiple forecasts expect 22 inches of rain where I live so I fully expect my pool to overflow and flood my lanai.

Wish me luck.

How are you doing?!??

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 have a coworker in Lakewood Ranch. I shall see how he fares.

They're comparable.

As a vegan, I can tell you that in situations like this I would absolutely take the vegetarian wrap and be grateful for it. I understand your sentiment, but they can only do so much.

Still one of the funniest photos ever… I always think of this when the news is dramatically covering hurricanes now, they need the drama to keep people glued to the tv.

This one too

Been thinking about you. I'm just north of Flamingo Crossing off of Avalon...10 minutes from the gate on Western Way.

Currently it's just like a windy thunderstorm...without the lightening.

Wait...are you visiting or do you live here??

Seeing we have allergies I would have cleaned out Erin McKenna's and ordered groceries days ago
