Sometimes storm damage can affect both the quality of water (not safe to drink) or can damage pumping stations (no water when you turn on the tap). That's why it's recommended to get bottled water. To drink and brush your teeth.

You can always look at some portable filtration systems. Not the best option. But an option. Just do it before the water may become contaminated, and store the jugs, bottles etc. as backup.

They just posted on FB/twitter about an hour ago that they have no timeline yet but are still monitoring the storm. Language in the post has changed from yesterday being yea we are watching the storm see what it does. To today being we are closing not just sure when.

And the official graphic shows that possibility. The cone shape is the “potential area” the storm could go.

Brutal, but this was a tactic we used in a war zone, which is very similar to a post natural disaster zone.
You want to get the point across that if you stay in Tequesta (average elevation 7 feet), there's a very real possibility that you are going to die.
As noted before, sometimes water quality becomes undrinkable, and you want to just make sure that you have drinking water and water for teeth brushing.
Also possibly it may be worth calling your airline and explain to them that you are stuck in Florida due to the storm. They may let you change your flight if needed free of charge (but there's no guarantee). I'm sure with people cancelling their trips Disney can find you a safe place to stay!

You believe it will be unsafe to drive from Florida on the 6-7?

One of Irma's many victims here in Central Florida was the Pirate Dinner Adventure on I-Drive. Extended downtime resulted in 206 people losing their jobs. A fire during reconstruction resulted in further setbacks, but they eventually reopened their doors 10 months later.

You should be able to drive, but please keep in mind that there are already gas shortages in the area and I can assume up and down the state. My guess is you'd be fine, but it might be more difficult than normal.

Breathe. You're there. You will have to hunker. But breathe. Panic won't help.
this is solid advice. The people around you will help where they can.
It will depend on the storm's actual path and how long it hangs around. If it slows down and does a lot of damage it could be unsafe in parts, and there will be gas shortages. You may be fine, but I would investigate changing your flight if possible just to be prepared for all outcomes.
