There is a massive hurricane headed toward the Florida Panhandle. It is named Helene and it could be a category 5. The center could land there or turn more toward us. We will get weather from it no matter which way it goes.
We are going shopping when my friend gets off work. We need supplies to tide us over. We expect power outages and shortages.
The governor has declared a state of emergency in 41 counties, including ours. If you are a person who prays, please pray for Florida.

My anxiety does not let me worry about every hurricane, I have been in Daytona Beach for 7 years I am still here and a large apartment complex is across the street, I will see wind and rain and then things will settle down, It I let myself dwell on these things I would not be of use to myself and then cats for many weeks afterward, Stay safe and good that you got supplies,

All the news reports I've seen don't have it getting stronger than a cat 3. That's still what's considered a major hurricane. I'm just outside of the danger zone, but the wind will pick up and we'll see some showers.

@2ndchances24 After one of the hurricanes when I lived in the trailer park, I walked around the park and took photos of some of the damages. One house was laying in a heap in the middle of the street. Another, was blown away and the resident found shelter with a friend. One house had palm trees laying over it. They smashed his car port and damaged other parts of the trailer.

I will be praying for the safety of your state since I know what it feels like to be without power for at least one month when Hurricane Laura hit Lake Charles in 3020,.

Be alert, stay safe and have a good day. Helene will eventually bring us some rain.

My daughter and her family are in Pinellas county, which is one of the 41. But it's at the very bottom of the danger line, and I know it floods there a lot during hurricanes. They ended up buying a home with a higher elevation than their first Florida home, due to the high cost of flood insurance in the first home. So far, so good.
I know all you can really do is get ready for the maybe, and wait. We don't need to say, hey, don't forget...Floridians seem to know the drill for hurricanes. Just be safe, please, don't take any chances!

We have been watching videos on youtube about Helene. Won't really know much until tomorrow. We were here for Michael...stayed in our house..trees around us fell, but not on our house. It was awful, but it doesn't look like our area will be getting much more than a tropical storm...storm surge abour 3 feet. But, like I said won't really know until tomorrow. If it starts coming our way...we will be heading west. Not staying for another one.

I pray for you and all those who are going to face this hurricane.
I have watched on news channels the damage caused by storms and hurricanes in your and some other countries.I wonder why so many hurricanes come there.Is it due to geographical reasons??
Stay safe.
