On a positive note...

I don't know you and have never communicated with you as I have only been on the "Net" for less than a year, but if you are staying put and you probably already know/do this, make and find as much ice as you can, fill the coolers and freezers with it and put fresh water in the tub, fill the BBQ or stock up on charcoal.. Have many friends and co-workers in South Florida and Houston and all have told me ice is real important... may the lord carry you on his shoulders through this...

Good luck, Orly. Just saw a news story that Hurricane Irma has downgraded to a category 4 storm. Not exactly great news, but for what it's worth it is an improvement.

I'm a little late to this thread but I have 2 things to offer...

1. Traffic cameras in South Florida don't look real bad this morning. It may be better to leave today than it was yesterday. My uncle stayed in Biloxi during Katrina (people forget MS got pounded as well) and told me later he would never do so again. He had his mom and wife and said he paced for hours. His words "Never will I stay and try to ride one out again!"

2. I know you said you took your cards to a safety deposit box, but if you have anything else you need to protect, load it up in your dishwasher. Water won't get in and it should be bolted to your counter making it less likely to be damaged. Unless you take on water higher than your counters, stuff in there should be protected. To be safe, put stuff in a trash bag or baggies and then in the dishwasher.

Good luck and God Bless!!

It was also suggested to fill the tub to your washing machine with ice and bottled water or other drinks. Throw a blanket over the top of the washer to help insulate it. If the power goes out it will keep drinks cold for awhile and keep you from opening your fridge every time you need a drink. Which allows the other ice in baggies you have put in it to keep whatever food you have longer.
