I’m debating about just leaving. I was planning on going to Missouri to visit my dad the week of the 9th. But there is nothing to keep me from going tommorow. If nothing else the weather there is suppose to be sunny, and we will surly get rain.
The plane is gassed up and ready to go.

Last night the wife and I were was toying with coming back to Ft. Myers for a couple of days to evacuate from the east coast.
The path right now is to make landfall in Jupiter which puts me 30 miles north or on the North eye wall..... of a Cat 4...
I will not make a final decision as to what I am doing until Saturday afternoon, as of right now we are looking to head to Miami.
I am trying to only go 100 miles, reason being that is less than a tank of gas round trip, this way I do not have to fight for gas. I just want to get well south of the storm, I figure Miami is a good bet.
If this hits land as predicted we will be without power, phone internet for weeks.
The cel phone companies have drones on standby to deploy once the storm passes so we will not be totally cut off from the world.
I am really hoping this forward motion slows sooner so it will make this turn and become a fish storm.
