The calm before the storm.

[William769]

Tropical Storm Issac is headed to S. Florida in a couple of days. I went this evening to top off my gas tank & had to go to several gas stations before I could get any gas. I hit the ATM machine.

A couple of days ago go I had went and got my supplies. Luckily I have hurricane shutters so I don't have to deal with ply wood.

I kind of got caught with my pants down with Hurricane Charley several years ago, wasn't expecting that big of a storm to hit us (said that would never happen again).

I implore anyone living in S. Slorida, please don't wait till the last minute. Things are already starting to get scarce.

Stay safe all & hope everyone in the affected areas stays safe.

There are also lots of tips in the comments section on that link too.

Maybe there's something there that will help

13. Right now, it looks like the Florida panhandle and Alabama are most at risk

The latest forecast is for the storm to pass over the Keys tomorrow night as a Cat. 1 hurricane, then move further offshore before finally slamming into the Panhandle as a Cat 2. So people up that way need to be even more aware.
