See…I thought the key was to have Charleston Heston walk in front of the car with his staff?

We were in WDW immediately after Hurricane Irma in 2017. We drove in the day after it passed through. It was the BEST time to be in the parks, they were empty because so many changed/canceled their plans because of the hurricane.

Me too ironically stay safe…
Could you imagine living in Cali in about 20 years, your neighborhood is on fire and you are trying to evacuate and your car isnt charged?

Just realized while reading this thread that catastrophic storms cause me less anxiety than thinking about cars in these times.
Pack a lot of patience. With intense weather related , parks close or have shortened hours and a number of attractions and shows, dining etc impacted.

When the mayor of Houston told the city to evac with a prediction of a hurricane coming their way, it was 9 hours and more to get out of the city. Some cars ran out of gas on the roads leading out of Houston.
Having an EV in a weather related storm trying to find a charging place is a disaster waiting to happen.
Except the Hurricane is projected to be a Major storm at 8 am Weds landfall.
Tom Brady’s multi million dollar mansion right on the water’s edge in Tampa will be having a huge rain event. That flood insurance will come in handy.

Lots of patience will be packed indeed. We weathered Hurricane Jeanne back in 2004; one day in our room and then empty parks the rest of the days. Stay safe everyone!!

The Tampa Bay Rays are also scheduled to be playing at home this weekend against Toronto. Despite being an indoor stadium, I wonder if they will cancel the series or just relocate up to Canada for the series. It might inconvenience the dozen Rays fans planning on attending, but at least will keep everyone safe.
Why would anyone buy expensive seats? Buy the cheap seats and just saunter over to behind home plate.

A cancellation is gonna dump an extra 38 people into the Clearwater Olive Garden
A number of home insurance companies are pulling out of FL to limit exposure on claims etc, leaving homeowners scrambling to find a company that will write them a policy. A huge hurricane will for sure bankrupt some companies with many claims being filed, like it has done before.

It still amazes me that there’s not a real big fan base when the team is legitimately good every year and has been for a little bit now.
