What in the world are you talking about?
Now I know you have never been to Florida. 😂
Hurricane season has arrived....

My other unsolicited advice is if he has more than one car or a car he plans to leave in a storm, make sure he has comprehensive coverage on his auto insurance.
The car stuff that came out of Hurricane Ian has been a nightmare. If there’s serious flooding, you want that thing covered and totaled.
Agree. Much appreciated!
I'm talking about putting gas hoarding regs in place during hurricane evacuations.
A fairly trivial thing to put in place.
STFU, Joe. Don't make me put you on ignore.
We are probably a couple hours away from fuel trucks getting hijacked en masse and you’re talking about clerks sending sending gas cam videos to the state to levy fines.
Solutions have to be workable. Yours isn’t.
This. 100% illegal in Florida but you watch. SoFla (DadeBrowardPalmBeach💩hole) will have reports of this anyway.
LOL
Now we have to shift to "fuel truck hijackings", since common sense fuel purchase limits are eminently practical and accomplishable.
I’m going to let you declare victory here so we can get back to the real world and actual hurricane news.
Hey, now you can add Fuel Distribution Expert to your extensive resume.
He knows this. He doesn’t care.
It’s amazing to me that others haven’t figured him out yet.
He just likes to start 💩 every day and then sit back and watch.
Methuselah Madness 😂
Never seen someone so confident in his knowledge of, well…everything.
Glad he left the area and will be safe, and hope his new home remains dry.
You’ve probably already seen this, but below is a site where you can pinpoint your Dad’s house on the map, and it will provide elevation, to get an idea of how his home might withstand the expected storm surge height.

That is not an issue, I was supposed to be bringing his boat down next week. Not sure that will happen at this point. Any different or additional boat coverage I should look at?
Thanks for that information looks like his house is 17' above sea level. That is a little reassuring.Glad he left the area and will be safe, and hope his new home remains dry.

Good deal! Keep us posted on how everything works out for him. Praying for Milton to weaken. I’ve got a flight booked into Ft. Myers next Thursday morning for a long weekend on Marco Island with a couple of good friends, but likely shifting the trip to somewhere else depending on what happens there in the next 48 hours.
Thanks @TC Nole OX and others for the updates.
Let us know how you FL peeps did on the other side please.

I don’t know anything about boat insurance. I’d recommend talking to an insurance broker or a competent agent, if you can get a good recommendation from someone.
who TF can't afford $10/gallon in an emergency or disaster? are people buying hundreds of gallons at a time?
Hurricane Helene was wetter and windier due to climate change, report finds — with same expected of Milton
The high sea surface temperatures that have helped both storms intensify were 200 to 500 times more likely because of climate change, the researchers found.

Yeah, I hope not. It is a “friend of a friend’s” place we’re were going to stay. Just hoping damage everywhere is not as catastrophic as forecasted and this thing can somehow weaken before, and continuing into, landfall.
Meh. That driveway could use a good pressure washing. Milton may deliver, here.
Not sure what the discount is...just know that hotel prices in Destin fluctuate wildly depending on the season.
Looks like she's trying to hit every spring training site in Florida. Tampa looking slightly better by the hour.
Anecdotal, but I have been looking because we have some travel ball tournaments in November and December in Destin/Fort Walton Beach and the Hilton hotels are under $100 a night for those weekends.
