I have a low priority question but have always wondered. Are CMs allowed to bring their pets with them if they are willing to work to ride out the storms?
I work in hospitality, and wouldnt mind working through the storm, and have thought about living in Florida, but would not be willing to leave my cat alone while the storm is going on.

This storm is MUCH bigger than Charlie. And the eye is now expected to go over Osceola County.

Okay, I would now like to apologize for my earlier sarcastic response.
I hope your house - and especially your family and friends - make it through safe and sound.Also when people are comparing to the quick drainage floods commonly seen in MK after a few inches of rain… do not assume forecasts of 15inches of rain means 5x worse.
You are skipping a critical dimension… time.
MK floods because of a high volume of water in a short period of time. Getting delughes of rain that are high rate. The issue is water coming in faster than it can drain (more than the issue being total volume).
The forecasts you are seeing are total rain fall… not per hour rain fall.
Obviously there is a cumulative effect when where the drain goes gets saturated and that’s a major concern in a sustained event like this… but don’t expect 8ft in the MK walkway
Yes! I'm certain there are plenty of people on this board who have been IN the Magic Kingdom during moments of heavier rainfall than it'll see over the next 48 hours.

Surreal how? People acting silly?
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.

People do understand how hurricanes work, right?
Can the “it won’t be as bad in Orlando..” running monologue stop?
Or at least add “because SCIENCE!”

Stay safe my friend! PS I hope everybody riding out the storms on property watch your videos so they have a greater appreciation for a history of the parks

I'm getting updates from the animal care team and they're preparing for a Jurassic Park situation.
EDIT to clarify: This is mostly a joke. They're in good spirits, but the logistics of making sure everyone is safe is akin to a military operation.

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.
A number of trailer parks in Kissimmee . Wishing them safety in this storm.
