I'm evacuating tomorrow

Best wishes to you and all the other members who got to deal with irma. I got a few friends in florida and i do feel for you guys. Nobody needs this in their lives. Again best wishes you seem to know what you doing.

Be safe!! Best wishes, you're in my thoughts.

Always better to err on the side of caution when dealing with mother nature. Best wishes.

hey Wolfy, i hope u and the critters are safe.

Hello all. I got to the place and hunkered down.

Unfortunately, the area for the snakes is a bit cooler than I would prefer but our power went out. Worse, my elderly dogs are stressing out in a major way. I spent last night laying on a cement floor trying to calm the old yorkie down. So I've had no sleep and I hurt from laying on a cold cement floor.

Adding to this? My county enacted a curfew until 8pm today, a 24 hour curfew, which no other county did. We didn't even get that much damage, being inland, supposedly. So I still couldn't go home, but intended to leave as soon as feasible.

But, the exit to the neighborhood I'm in, sheltering with friends, is flooded. It's deep enough that a lifted Jeep had some issue making it through.

So I'm even more stressed and I have another night here and will attempt to leave to get back home in the morning. I still have zero idea if my place is intact or not, I don't think it has power(my town is almost 100% out of power).

So I'm extremely stressed and distressed. I appreciate all the well wishes, to the utmost.

gosh that's horrible. i hope it gets better. but when it gets tough, remember to follow this mantra: Stop being a wimpy monkey,; bare some teeth, steal some food and fling poo with the alphas.

we will be thinking of you.

Just watching the news reports of all of the damage "Irma" did... I hope you and your family, friends and exotics are safe!!
God bless and take one step at a time getting back :)

I did make it back home eventually. Today I got my internet back!

So all critters and I are home and trying to get back to normal. Thank you all for the well wishes. They are very appreciated.
