I just spoke to my son who is in Groveland, and he's preparing now.... they have a generator, phone chargers that don't need power and a laundry list of other preps they're doing .... he's always prepared for the worst...

Have no listings yet but send clients email and text to let them know I care for them. Get prepared and stay safe! Storms and hurricanes are unpredictable and the rain it brings could lead to flooding.

Hi Fred -- the increased attention to being prepared for the arrival of Irma is evident in California too.  I hope this storm falters before landing.  Be prepared.  Stay safe.

It a bit hard to miss this directive since it all the talking heads are babbling about. That being understood, I don't ask or encourage 'Prepping." Either they are or they are not. They made that decision long ago.

What do I do? If 'Evacuation' is announced, I will inquire if they have a place to go. THEN I can help if needed.

The last time 'EVACUATION' was announced, coastal folks headed to Orlando only to be intercepted by the storms change of direction.

The REAL criteria is storm surge and how long one can hold their breath.

Of course 50 inches of rain can not be prepared for or evacuated away from.

And the super storm pattern is irreversible, but can become worse if nothing is done.

Fred,  I just cannot let myself think about this.  My heart is so heavy and sad for all the loss and devastaion.  I would do whatever I could if I lived there. And for certain help others as well.
