Hurricane Check In Thread: Florida GD People, Please Check in during Irma so we know you're good

Because it could be tally marks and not a Arabic numeral 11.

Checking in we are doing fine, the most that happened on my end was the street getting flooded. Unfortunately my older brother told me that one of his coworkers is related to the family of six that were in that van who didn’t make it.

I’m sorry to hear that man.

I’ll update the OP right now.

But…Wth why put tally marks on that? I mean SHIT now we have to think about this before we ASSUME its a number/tally marks…now I’m overthinking this shit…my head hurts looking at it now…WHY THE HELL DID WHO EVER PUT THAT ON THERE DIDNT PUT THE ARABIC NUMERAL ON THERE!? its a simple “2”!

I was at work today, but I’m glad to hear from Grimm, and my condolences to your brother’s co-worker!

Hope you guys are all good. Not from there but I’m a massive Texans/Rockets fan. I was planning a trip to Houston, I hope the recovery goes well.

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this.

My friend made it safely back to Victoria. They’re trying to clean up some of the elementaries. His suffered minor damage, one severe and one apparently got double perfected by the storm.

Now Irma is wildin’ out too and on a path to the gulf. Fucking hell this hurricane season is dangerous.

People in disaster situations don’t always have the forethought of someone not in the same disaster situation.

I thought the Irma projection is false.

I doubt that bitch Irma hitting H-Town, if anywhere its about to hit Miami Florida good, hurricanes are literally their football team. (That or the Dolphins right?)

I pray to god that it is!!!
If it isn’t, then we are about to become Atlantis!
:frowning:

Well I understand that, but like…like SHIT if I was in a burning building right? and the fire was RIGHT Infront of me
and there was a choice of A:Gasoline B:Chilled water I wouldn’t dump 4 gallons of gasoline on the flame just cause It was a disaster! I’m so confused now…

So much for vacationing. Back to the salt mines.

Fuck, my brother lives on one of the Virgin Islands. Irma could possibly pass right through. I’m kinda worried about that.

Puerto Rico going to get battered. Gotta go out and contact my relatives.

I leave for New Orleans this weekend so I’m scared Irma might change those plans.

Irma is a Category 5 now. It’s heading straight for the island my brother is on. I talked to him this morning and he said he’s with some friends who live in a house constructed from metal storage containers strapped to a 16,000 gallon cistern. Hopefully that will keep them safe. They’ve been making a lot of preparations.

He asked one of the elders on the island what he should do. The old lady started shaking, then she started crying, then she said you should leave. Problem is, when he checked all the flights out of St Thomas were booked. They just released a few more tickets from people willing to make flights to get people to safety, but he can’t get to St Thomas now. Fuck, man. I’m worried.
