I topped up the truck with regular and then got another 12 gallons in non-ethanol in several fuel cans for my generator, if needed. That should last me a couple days easily, which is probably all I would need if our power went out.

We have our own utilities company here and they are very responsive.

I told Mom not to worry - if it looks bad enough, I would come get her and bring her over to my place for the duration.

Should know a lot more by Friday.

Best of luck to all......and please keep us posted as necessary.
Sounds like you have a plan in place. Do not stay put if CAt 3 or better get out of the way.

I already have my evacuation plan in place, a trip to Key West is in order, I just found out you can rent an Electric Mini Moke down there so I need an excuse to head down.

If I have to leave I will just work on destroying my liver while my house does the same.
