I know I am, and suspect many others...are concerned about members in our community in the path of IRMA.

I think it would be reasonable to have a thread where members can consolidate information, share concerns, and update others as to the status of people we know affected by this Hurricane.

Please check in, or post updates as information becomes available. It would I'm sure, be appreciated.

Yes I hear you.....am a bit further north than you in Tampa...I would suggest everybody in the cone stow your mobile stuff that is outside....I saw what happened in Andrew.....was a mess.... and park your vehicles away from trees......if it stays on path...will be a bummer for most of Florida...

Im at 41 bonefish ave. keylargo fl. 1 1/2 blocks from my house in an all poured reinforced concrete bunker. We're 15 feet above sea level, and the second floor is 25 feet above sea level. Unfortunately I expect my house to at least to take some damage from trees. I will be here with my neighbor and we are loading the bunker with supplies and we have access to a 4000 gallon cistern.we have a gen and propane. This is the highest dryist area of key largo, and best of all a large convoy of emergency vehicles are prestaged a block or 2 from us. This house is located in the safest area and is custom built to survive these storms im confident we will be fine. I will lose power and I will lose communication, so please dont be surprised if things go dark on my end for a while. I will check in as long as I can with updates. But I did give the address so we can be found if need be. Ive got to deal with another boat so ill check in later.

Publix is closing its Ocala store, Saturday, 8:00 PM, and will not reopen until Tuesday morning.
The local gas stations that with petrol had bumper to bumper lines that extended for at least 1/2 mi.
Propane cylinders and D batteries are also in short supply along with bread and of course, bottled water.
