Keep safe dude. Waffle Houses can sometimes be just as life threatening as a cat 5 hurricane.

Only the ones in the hood for after party hours. This one here is pure southern comfort where the staff can kill an intruder with a pickle in five different ways.
Thanks for the info. The BBC article makes sense since the images and information around hurricanes always show wind speed and you associate the devastation to that but I guess it's the flooding that does almost all the damage
And kills the most people, 90% worldwide apparently
Hope everybody stay safe
Got a mate in Cocoa Beach. Works in a hospital, been told he can't leave. I did ask him if he had any final words, "up the Hatters"
Grim.
Hope you guys are able to stay safe.
Take care those that are there. Stay safe.
You’re such a tease with waffle house. Last time you mentioned it I went and they were doing take out only!
NHC finally acknowledging the models trending south. Intensity is scary.
3 hurricanes in november before elections....suspicioso
Lock her up!
Lock her up!
My man is seeing the future
Truly frightening, thoughts with you all.
Is all part of the plan, will happen. you are just unbeliever
Good luck to anyone down there. As someone that has been through probably a dozen big ones, if you can't leave, stay inside, secure the home and if you hear something outside you think you may have forgotten then leave it and don't go out there.
(also non-scientific and science says the opposite but 100 years of islanders argue it anyway: open a window a crack towards the lee to alleviate pressure)

Got a friend who I met while travelling who’s a fire fighter in Florida. Messaged him to hope he stays safe and says he’s expected to be out in duty from today all through Friday until he gets to see his family again.
Brave feck.
Hope everyone in the danger zone on the Caf’ have left to a safer place.

Truly scary shit!
Hope everything works out for those about to be affected and you have your best plan in place.

Should have just given him back his stapler.
What's the situation with doctors and firefighters there? It's such a weird situation. They have to stay despite the huge risk while most citizens flee. I kind of get they have to stay but they're really risking their lives.
Do most citizens actually flee though?
For every 10 that do there's probably 3 who don't.
A lot of people are complacent because they get warned to evacuate on a regular basis and because of the unpredictable nature of hurricanes the don't get hit, until they do and by then it's too late
It takes a certain kind of person to be a doctor, fire fighter, police officer etc in these circumstances and TBH I'm not sure I'd be one!
They are not required to stay.
I'm watching a live stream from Key West and there's people taking selfies while getting battered by the wind, rain and waves. Quick question, are they fecking mental?
I was in Florida on the Gulf coast during the summer, and there was a flash storm with really crazy wind/rain and bags of lightening. Our accomodation looked out on the beach and right in the middle of all of this a lad strolled into the sea and went for a swim. People are morons.
I am a doctor, scheduled to relive on Friday the ones working Tues to Thursday. So I can't leave. I am inland though, so storm surge is not a factor. I guess I could leave technically, no ones going to stop me but I'm not going to leave my colleagues and friends anyway.
It’s Key West. Always has been.
Fair play to you. Best of luck with everything, you're a hero mate.
Na. The real heroes are the firefighters, EMT personnel, police etc.
Wow that’s grim.
I feel sorry for stray dogs/cats and other wildlife that will get caught up in this too.
I used to always be nervous as hell when my wife had to go in to the hospital after a snow / ice storm (we never get nice snow). I'd always make her let me drive her there.
Wow, it looks as if my hometown is skirting the worst of the storm if the track holds firm. That's 103 years & counting with no direct hits.
Fecking hell. Is Milton worse than previous hurricanes to hit the US?
It's way up the severity list.
For example, Katrina was a Cat 3 when it came ashore in 2005.
