I just wanted to let everyone know that I might not be able to post any or as many articles for the next week or so. When I started my campaign for the new #vetsconnect I wasn't planning on having to stop ,right when things are just starting to pick up, to pack up everything I own and get out of southwest Florida because of a possible Cat 5 hurricane. At sometime around 8am today they measured 185mph winds inside of Irma. There's only ever been one other Atlantic storm with higher winds at 190mph. They still aren't a hundred percent on the storm path but, it is not looking good for my area. I am not taking any chances . I went out today and bought a trailer for five hundred dollars(I had to borrow) so I can get whatever I can fit into my pickup and the trailer and get out of Dodge with my four year old daughter. We rent a half a duplex that was built around 1970. There are no mounts for hurricane shutters. The window glass is so flimsy that a leaf blowing at 50mph could shatter it. The exterior doors are held in rotted jambs with rusted screws and are already sagging and ready to fall out. I don't even want to know what kind of condition the roof trusses are in. Again this place was built before hurricane Andrew forced the rethinking of building codes around here. Anyone who saw the damage Andrew did to places like Homestead know what I'm talking about.
Anyway. my whole point was that I will write as much as I can tom try to keep vetsconnect fresh in everyone's mind but , if I'm not heard from for a few days, that's what is going on where I'm at. I gotta do some modifications to the trailer. pack all the food, water, clothing, guns ,ammo ,silver, documents, tools and whatever else will fit and be ready to go Thursday night or Friday morning at the very latest. The lines at the gas station are already backed up into the streets and have been all day. there isn't a bottle of water on a shelf in any store as far as I know of. I tried to get gas cans at four different stores today with no luck. People are obviously taking this seriously. I am mentally preparing for not coming back because there might be nothing left to come back to.
We will see what happens. Keep on Steemin on
