Terrible gasoline shortages in FLA

[Silent Earth]

This is reminding me of H Andrew when thousands got stranded through lack of fuel far from safety including the prepper MD whose fully fuelled BOV ran out of fuel after driving for 14 hours at 5 mph in the traffic trying to flee H Andrew.

I sure as hell wouldn't wanna be stuck on a freeway looking in the mirror and seeing a tornado coming..

The wind I could probably handle to a degree but I think the 18 foot wall of sea water pouring across the land would be a tad inconvenient.

yup,it would mess with my haircut
and prolly my oxygen intake aswell..

I'm down here in South Florida. The gas stations near me have run out of gas again for the night. I talked to one of the managers, Friday night will probably be the last gas shipment in. People are starting to get panicked. The gas is gone unless you want to wait in a half.mile long line. And to think they call me crazy for prepping......

My mom in law is flying out of Orlando tomorrow so her & my dad in law drove up there on Thursday. They live about half way down the coast to Miami & normally it would be about a 1 1/2 hr drive. Will talk to them tomorrow and find out how it went. At least the drive back south for my FIL should go pretty fast! He lives about a mile from the inland waterway....he's gonna ride it out at home. Mom is on the way to England.

Yup as I thought its starting to become a rerun of H Andrew, The Prepper community learned and adapted and the sheeple went back to their old ways of " it wont happen again to me"

It looks like it's already slowed down some with wind speed. I still wouldn't want to be near the coast in S Fla. or in a low area (which covers the majority of fla), but hopefully this won't be so bad on central and north fla. Even Miami may see 140mph, which is a real storm but is far better than 185.

In Tennessee. Went for gas yesterday and every pump was closed. Traffic was bumper to bumper from the people evacuating Florida.

 

[jontte]

it's gaining momentum once again...from 3 to 4 as it comes into contact with the warm waters near the coast,so for those that opted to stay,
so brace,brace,brace, put your head between your knees,say a prayer and kiss your butt good bye..

Ah the Sheeple, never fail to confirm the theory of evolution, Didnt learn after Andrew, Katrina or Sandy, wont learn from Harvey, Irma or Jose. Just like British socialists they will never take responsibility for themselves its always someone else job to pander to them

it's never their fault,they didn't take the steps of prepping in due time.

 

[jimLE]

all i can think of,is d@@n sheeple idiots...i had flashlights and rechargeable batteries before i became a prepper..don't they know how to order the items well in advance?

I see they aren't having any trouble getting to the stores to loot. Shoot a few of them and show that it will not be tolerated. Well, at least beat the he'll out of a few. I would protect me store.

Okay, I did not put that emoji. It just keep popping up. Sorry if it offends.

They should shoot looters on sight if they are grabbing luxuries, but if they are grabbing, food, medical supplies etc some slack may need to be cut.

Hess guys are going for the sneakers (trainers) and hair weaves, etc. Not the meds.

 

[Rob Painless]

Hess guys??

It would have to really depend on the circumstance. . . for instance if someone was seriously hurt and needed medical supplies asap the store just so happens to carry them and your first aide kit in your vehicle was not easily accessible, then yes by all mean help yourself to medical supplies, but really how many times will this ever happen? I may sound heartless here but everyone had an opportunity to get supplies before hand. They live in a hurricane zone which means its very possible that they will get one that season. Its like 6 months out of the year. Even if your home is flooded, you can still salvage cans of food. If there is flooding water is going to have to be boiled or purified before drinking. None of this is new unless you just moved to a coastal area. Even then they should be familiar with major storms or tornadoes. There really is no excuse for looting . . . people looted in Houston and even after police were told about it let it happen. They were too busy with rescues to worry about it till later on.
