THESE COLORS DON'T RUN (but DANC might)
Supposed to be a 3, possibly 4, by the time it hits land.
It's bigger now because it's over really warm water.
Definitely will. We belong to the Hilton Vacation Club and they don't have vacancies around Miami. But they do in Orlando - right in the path of the hurricane. lol Still, it would be away from the surge. I could go cross country to get to Orlando, although the traffice through there would be insane.
I'll have the wife check out Ft. Lauderdale. Maybe an AirBnB since my friends are down here for the month and we could all go over there. I hope this shit is over by Saturday - we're flying up to Atlants for the ELO concert Saturday night.
You won't be running, it is a strategic advance in a different direction.
I put on a clip on tie and said I was with the county and there to inspect the stripper pole that had been installed. They let me pass right through the gate and the checkpoint halfway down the drive.
Just make sure that you get the 3rd floor or higher.
Seriously though man, get out. Things / stuff can be replaced. Grab what you need and go.
Doubt it. I suspect only notifications. I trust he’s got his hands full working with local responders to oversee the evacuation while coordinating with fema etc.
Saw them at Gainbridge last month...greatness.

One of the huge differences, Congress voted to move the money in one scenario. In the other, the president did it himself. This is the first time you have ever argued for a president circumventing Congress and doing it himself.
Yeah, my buddy was supposed to get a ticket for me for that but then forgot. I got bounced for his floozy.
Next closest was Atlanta, so I got tix for that.
Wrong. You have fallen for the Mayorkas head fake. You do know there are TWO FEMA funds. . You are talking about the wrong one.
And you are falling for the "Trump said it so it must be true" head fake
Trump FEMA Claim Debunked: Agency Not Running Out Of Money Because Of Migrants
While DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has warned about the agency running low on cash for its disaster efforts, that’s a separate fund from money put toward migrant communities.

Trump FEMA Claim Debunked: Agency Not Running Out Of Money Because Of Migrants

They are lying to you. Maoyorkas spent emergency funds on migrants, not just money from the food and shelter program congress created in 2022. That emergency money is . . . . .gone! It doesn’t make any difference that Congress backfilled by deepening the national debt.
Was sitting at BCC drinking with one of our local ice cream restauranteurs day of show when his HS kid talked us into going. He's an old soul. Went to America at Brown County and sang every song at 15. He kept pulling up songs on his phone while we were sitting on the patio killing Whitehavens with the wives, and basically tripled dog dared us not to go.
Pulled up Stubhub, found 6, and off we went. 😄
Yeah, if we go, I'll go to Ft. Lauderdale. I've scoped out some AirBnBs.
Thing is, the storm is still headed to Tampa, which is 120 miles away. The storm itself is 160 miles wide, which means it's 80 miles south. We're about 120 miles from Tampa. So, while I know there will be storm surge, I don't think the wind will be that bad (predicted 50mph GUSTS) and the surge won't affect our immediate area. Ian surge came about a mile west of us.
The thing I'm worried most about - and I'm not that worried - is flooding. It's been raining - HARD - for DAYS. The ground is super saturated. I don't want my car to float away.
But I'll see how it is Tuesday morning.
I all too well remember Ian that was tracking towards Tampa until it turned a bit south. Your going to be on the dirty side of the storm no matter what, it's just to what degree.
Our family's place on FMB is just now ready to be back open, 2 years later. And this is setup to be possibly as bad. Obviously very different for you inland and you'll probably be fine. But being without power for prolonged period your probably biggest issue.
This is the exact same scenario for my co-worker. She was flying down Friday to give the last payment to her contractor. She was a real joy to work with yesterday
I'm fairly certain you're simply wrong on this one. They are separate funds, as you said, but none of the money in the disaster relief fund was transferred to migrant services.
I’m not talking about the disaster relief fund. I’m talking about the Emergency Food and Shelter Fund. Look at the KJP statement I linked and then look at the FEMA denial. The conclusion is obvious.
The emergency food and shelter fund is irrelevant to this debate. It has nothing to do with disaster relief.
Never mind. I went back and reread this thread and twenty clearly and without ambiguity demonstrated that you're plain wrong on this last week. It doesn't affect you. I think your hatred of Democrats had made it difficult for you to discriminate reality from fantasy.
I think the confusion is two similarly named programs. There once was a Emergency Food and Shelter Program. In 2023 Congress renamed it and specifically tasked it to help migrants.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) directed the establishment of a new grant program—the Shelter and Services Program (SSP).89 Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. F, Title II of P.L. 117-328), transferred $800 million from CBP to FEMA “to support sheltering and related activities provided by non-Federal entities, including facility improvements and construction, in support of relieving overcrowding in short-term holding facilities of [CBP].”90
...
Through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. F, Title II of P.L. 117-328), Congress made funding available for FEMA to implement the EFSP-H in a different manner than EFSP-H had previously been authorized. Instead of appropriating a set amount of funding directly to FEMA for the EFSP-H, Section 211(a) stated that a portion of the $800 million—specifically, up to $785 million—may potentially be used to provide shelter and supportive services to migrants encountered by DHS through EFSP-H.92 Although it was initially unclear how much, if any, funding would be provided for the EFSP-H, FEMA awarded grants of $75 million and $350 million of the potentially available $785 million (totaling $425 million) for the EFSP-H.93
So there you have it, the money was properly spent in immigrants, end of story. No money from disaster relief was spent, end of story. Except it won't be because - POLITICAL GAIN!.
I don't know why CO is so angry that the executive branch spent the money exactly as congress intended.
Now, let's see if he provides a link proving the Congressional Research Service is wrong.
