    I would just go for it, I am betting it will be fine, may be some good paying loads coming up soon too.

    Im pretty much finished until morning. It will be a while before we get to it. It will turn or not. I think it must turn.

    However it matters not. Florida will be the next in line. My family will be ok. They are taking care of what is possible They are generally out the way far enough that they probably not notice it much.

    My mother relocated to florida from alabama for a job and within a few months hurricane michael took the roof off her head. House JUST got rebuilt and it starts all over. Tornado alley seems safer to me.

    Let's look at the upside if south Florida gets nailed. Maybe it will kill all the iguanas and pythons lol.

    Parts of your alert zone far to the east bordering is under hurricane and TS alerts.

    I checked downtown tampa and plant city. I don't see anything other than your typical stormy 24/7 rainarama.
