That little yellow x is a new wave coming off the African coast.
But that's a long, long ways away.
Places like Staples or Office Depot (or Office Max - whichever one still exists) have cases of bottled water, paper towels and toilet paper.
I have one that I purchased in the camping goods dept several years ago. Just fill and hang in the sun.

Gas is running out here in the Keys. Saw lots of lines, up to 100 cars long. Wanted to get an extra 5 gallons and figured I would do it at our local marina instead of waiting in line. They were sold out of rec90 at $4 a gallon. Went to buy more beer, but the grocery store was crazy, got it somewhere else.
Based on current predictions and information from the NHC, I would say that it would be safe to drive north no later than 8 am on Monday. If you do not have a full tank of gas with a range of at least 300 miles, stay at Disney. If you are staying at Disney, you need to get everything you think you would need to "camp" in your room for 48 hours. If I did not have those supplies yet, I would wait until 6am tomorrow and hope some of the stores were restocked.

I am probably going to have this hold loop memorized by the time I get a live CM lol.
Best of luck Floridians! Thanks for sharing your state with us for vacations. We know full well whether we make it to WDW or not is nowhere near the most important concern this week. Your advice has been helpful and educational. Stay safe.

BAM keeps popping up in the r/TropicalWeather. They are great for Ohio Valley weather. I wouldn't follow them for tropical personally.

Zello. But it ain't voodoo magic. You need wi-fi for it to work.

Zello.
ETA: There are a few Dorian channels already up. I'm on one for my surfari, but it's definitely not safe for normies.

I have one too if my battery runs out. Always good to have a backup!

I'm arriving in Jacksonville later tonight. Am I going to have any issues driving from there to WDW first thing in the morning?

Probably not. No highway contraflow announcements as far as I've heard.

No, you'll be fine. We shouldn't even see anything in central Florida until Tuesday AM. Not sure how long you'll be there, but you might consider filling up the car when you get there if they have gas.
