[Darealtwo1]

I just a seen a dude on Periscope from Dade Co. talmbout he not evacuating because its not mandatory for them and he a hour away from water

Wasnt they supposed to get hit too

Nah...he a new fool...He knows his time is up on earth and is ready to go. Don't worry about him. You won't hear about him after Sunday.

I think the western shift hurts us more. Isn't the north east quadrant the most dangerous? Not to mention all the wind and rain flooding the everglades and pushing it east. Can there be storm surges on the everglades side or does the swamp land prevent it?

Doesn't it depend on how far West it goes? It was initially predicted to slam with Miami head on...of it goes towards naples...miami is better off. Plus ain't shyt in that middle until you get to central Florida.

It's 25 miles across(the eyewall). .Naples to Miami is 125 miles....so if keeps shifting West...Miami is better off.

CNN interviewing people on Key West saying they staying. If they staying, does anyone need to evacuate?

When are they gonna "close up shop" ?
I get it that this is about time for them
But y'all have families and concerns too

Shop is closed. We're working remotely. It's just me and two other guys. My family is fine, my girlfriend is fine, it's just me and my cat out here.

There is a highway that goes from S. Florida straight through the water through the keys. I'm looking at a map. Hwy 1

You ain't know bruh? Hwy 1 take you from Miami to Canada.

be safe brehs and brehettes.

This storm scares me and I'm not even in it's path.


The numbers are just incredible


Looks like it'll give most of Florida it's a dirty side and about to tear some shyt up

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I just hope people become better prepared for things like this. Even myself and my own family. Im not just talking about hurricanes.. Just things in general. Im talking about the small shyt you can do...

Saving money for emergencies

Having basic supplies

Having basic protection

Having a thought out plan

Proper tools and stockpiles

The ability to take off your job sooner so you can get your family out of harms way

Etc.

So many people trying to bounce last minute, get gas last minute, need money last minute, no place to stay last minute, etc.

Jose on that Dexta Daps shyt-

Long time we nuh kill a man
So we circle dem end’s like the letter man
Set a bomb, make a dam
Black rain fall, something must catch a man

They are mandatory an they are supposed to get hit directly but people want to be stubborn, they'll have no 911 help at all if their choice "goes wrong". One guy said he was staying on his boat during the hurricane, yes a fukking sailboat. We all already know that boat is going to be pushed into a seawall like most other boats, torn and damaged. Just take your ass to a shelter, he obviously wants to die.

I did research and found this:

Over the past decade as developers expanded Pembroke Pines westward, more hurricanes have affected the city and its residents. In 1999 Hurricane Irene dumped up to 16 inches (410 mm) of rain in the city. The western communities, such as Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes, saw an estimated 19 inches (480 mm).



And Irene was a category 1 or 2. This thing is like a 4 or 5.

All this is swampland. My house got built in 95. Everything here was mostly big dirt mountains and nothing but trees.

I remember thinking that people were exaggerating with regards to Harveys impact on us. Plenty in my circle felt the same. So much so that I still held my fight party that Saturday night.
All the people that came to that party was trapped at my place for damn near the whole next week By grace of God the water came up on the street but kept flowing, so it didn't get in the house. Meanwhile just a few blocks away the houses were flooded badly.
Be safe brehs

gotta educate yourself to be able to decipher media hype vs a real threat. There was never any doubt that Harvey was gonna do exactly what it did. A lot of people are making the same mistake with Irma but this bytch is a monster of a hurricane. I'll pray for the people that stayed because they are gonna need it.
