Just a message to start a hurricane thread to make sure PALS/CALS are safe. For those of you who don't know, we also have an emergency FB Group if this site goes down. This was a very helpful thread when Florida got hit two years in a row.
I live on the beach, ground floor. The good thing is that our building is concrete with steel beams and we got Category 5 triple pane windows in our unit last year.
Right now it looks like the East coast of Florida will take a direct hit, very close to where I live. I'm staying. Our building has a generator so all our common areas will have electricity, three bathrooms, and a full kitchen.
We'll probably drive the car to the second level (each level has its own parking) just to make sure it isn't flooded. I know people on every floor so I'm not worried being on the ground floor.
I did order a battery operated radio with an extra battery pack and a solar powered phone charger. We have plenty of water and things to eat.
If you live on the coast, even up through NC, best to be prepared.
