Hurricane Irma

[disney4life2008]

Really? Didn't know. Security or a grounds crew JUST got there. All gates are open now. Can't tell you how tempted I was to sprint an take a pic. But I'm not that crazy.

In orange county. But i love the pictures. I would have been tempted to walk further lol

It partly depends where the planes and crews are coming in from.

Definitely. Huge operation to relocate all of the crews/planes that have been displaced. Southwest and JetBlue are obviously two of the three airlines who count MCO as a hub, Frontier have yet to say what its plans are...

Orange county Police are stopping any one driving on the roads

There's a mandatory curfew until 6pm, so anyone out and about before then should expect to be stopped. There are some exceptions - media/utility companies/emergency services. But yeah, no reason ANYONE else should be out and about...

Frontier has said that flights will be limited tomorrow. I live near two airports and both have only one flight going down tomorrow (I'll be on one of them).

Just wish he had a little drone with him or real long selfie stick.

Apparently someone put a drone up during the storm. Don't remember where, but that's just stupid to risk your safety to do.

But I bet the video is amazing....

Here is a shot from our balcony.

Seems very, very likely that Disney and Universal's Orlando-area parks will all be open Tuesday morning, correct?

So for those of you concerned about the animals at various theme parks, here's a video of Busch Gardens herding the flamingos to safety. Wonder if it's like herding cats...

Speaking of cats, mine's running around the house like a madman...

What about Waffle House? That's the bar the FEMA uses.

Their foliage and rides are minimal.

They do have a trailer at the hotel near me. My daughter just texted and said her BFF just lost power. Stone Road area.

I had to open the thread on my phone to see them.

It was my firewall blocking the site used for hosting the pictures. I can see them now. Thanks.

Maybe not all of them. But they will get as many open as possible.

Blair Stone runs from Centerville Rd. to Southwood. About where? Speaking for myself, I still have power. Earlier I was on the phone with folks in Jax (they're dealing with a mess, BTW) when I heard crackling from a tree falling. Scared the you know what out of me. I have lots of trees behind my home. Fortunately, the tree fell inward toward other trees.

I hope everyone is safe, and also glad the worst is finally through Orlando. This has been such a long week tracking this storm!

I keep checking the Duke Energy site and it looks like my apartment (Orange County, 15 minutes from Disney) hasn't had any reported outages which is a good sign, but I'm so worried about my apartment and car. I hope I'll be able to get back to Orlando soon.

Stone Road, over by the Tallahassee Mall (sorry, it will always be that to me). I live in the Lake Jackson area - we always loose power.

Edit: sorry, hit the post button as I was trying to finish. Glad your home is okay. The big tree in my front yard is still upright. But lots of small branches and leaves in the road.

Which ones?! I know some counties haven't issued mandatory curfews, but seems a bit odd to open in the wake of a hurricane. Although, if they're in an area without a curfew, and people need food but have no power at home, then it could be a perfect hearty breakfast...
