Hey everyone. I hope you are doing well.
My husband worked late tonight but we are going to the store in a bit to get more canned foods, more water, diapers & wipes, etc...
We are not in an evacuation zone so right now we are not being advised to leave. If and when we're told to evacuate we definitely will. We will see what happens as the hurricane gets closer.
Prayers are always appreciated for the safety of all in the path of Irma.

I just hope it turns back out to sea and leaves Florida alone.

@LovingMyBabies The way the weather channel is talking, that Jacksonville will get it and as far up as Atlanta.

I am praying for you and your family and everyone in general in Florida. It looks as if this storm is going to hit all parts of Florida. The width of the thing is wider than Florida is. Come on back up to NC and visit your family.

I think with each passing hour, your location is looking better and better. The forecast track seems to keep shifting to the west. Not to say we're out of the danger zone, but at least it's not looking like you are going to get hit with the eye of the storm.
For right now, they are still saying that the eye may pass over Gainesville, or just to the west of us.
No matter what, both you and I are going to see strong winds and rain with this hurricane, but I'm hoping you don't have winds that are so bad they blow your house away!
Stay safe Jennifer!

@moffittjc Yeah I don't think it will be too bad where I am. Do you think it will be the same as Matthew or stronger than that?
Thank you, you stay safe too!

@LovingMyBabies I think it will be about the same as Matthew, just on the west coast instead of the east coast.

I see we have a few MyLot members that live in Florida. We are thinking of you and praying for everyone there and hope for the best. However, it's also good to be prepared for the worst as we have seen what this hurricane has already done. Be safe!

@LovingMyBabies That's a relief to hear! When we had a crisis up at a nearby dam earlier this year and had to evacuate at the last minute, we had no idea where to go. It's always best to have a plan in place!

My mom came home from work and said she was thinking of you and your family today, 
.
Hope you don't have to leave.. I know it'll be tough to up and leave, and find a place to go. As so many other states around there are pretty booked at all motels already.

Hope you can find canned goods and water. Even though the path at the current time doesn't have the storm coming in the panhandle as soon as these things are stocked they are flying off the shelves. Be safe and prayers going forth for all of Florida
