Geez guys I hope you all stay safe. Here in Indiana we have "Tornaders", which really don't scare me as much as they should but destroying houses is no joke. I often think about moving to Florida you can get a lot of house for not much money -- but insurance and property taxes are much higher, you pick your poison haha. No state income tax though.

We live close to Disney. I'm waiting for them to announce theme park closures. I swear Disney has their own weather models. Last storm, my phone was firing off with tornado warnings. We started hearing explosions outside in the distance. We were freaking out thinking tornado was coming, but no, it was Disney fireworks. Lol. Got the generator and supplies ready anyway though. Good luck everyone!

Well the closest place to buy a generator is in Tampa. So I bought 3 battery powered air pumps and a power inverter to plug into the 12v on my truck. At least I can run an extension cord from that to the inside to power the return pump and maybe 1 of the 2 MP40's.

You guys better look at the news again, looks like mandatory evacuations now. They are doing them for SC and NC coastal areas also.
Nothing to mess with either.

Praying for all of you folks down in Florida, Georgia and the Carolina's.

Get prepared!
Yes I can't believe I forgot to send prayers for all of you.

This may be the first time in my life where I would rather be home than in the Bahama's. Looks like they are getting pounded! :(
