In reply to the discussion: 11.00am update:Dorian will be a major hurricane at landfall in Florida [View all]Pacifist Patriot
(24,653 posts)But not feeling much in the way of concern - probably jaded. I've lived in Brevard County for 25 years. I've lost count of the hurricanes projected several days out to potentially hit us only to move away as they get closer. I've evacuated from a number of storms and hunkered down under a few others.
I don't live where a storm surge would have any impact. I have a new roof (thanks Irma!) and hurricane shutters. I buy the water, batteries, non-perishable food, etc. right as school lets out in late May. I've got house prep down to a science.
Floridians:
"Waiting for a hurricane is like getting stalked by a turtle."
"This is like waiting for your dad to get home from work to whoop your ass...and the weatherman is like your mom threatening that he will or might not."
