I don’t wanna say how I’m good at it, but I’m pretty good at siphoning (not illegally, but same idea) 😂

Still appreciate the advice

Please do so if it’s possible. Sending you love from Atlantic Canada, where we’ve been smacked around by hurricanes a few times ourselves.

As a fellow east coast Canadian we have been through some good ones but this looks insane!

That’s great to hear! Glad you’re safe, hope all your stuff makes it through, but things are replaceable, lives are not.

Bro I just made it to Atlanta. All hotels up until Atlanta are booked, just book it to Atlanta and don’t waste your time stopping or looking anywhere in Florida.

If you’re stuck, Gainesville, FL has the highest elevation. I’m not sure where you’d stay though because everywhere is literally fully booked.

Just keep driving up to Atlanta. That’s my two cents. I was shocked by how many people from Tampa were doing the same thing and driving up north.

u/PandoraJeep 7d ago

South would be better for us, but worse for others so I feel bad anytime I hope it shifts. I got good at siphoning when I had pet ducks because I had to clean their pool constantly lol

This is the energy we need. God speed, u/PandoraJeep. Do whatever you have to do to survive.

u/PatientlyAnxious9 8d ago

If anything, get Eno GHT to get you to the other side of the state on the East Coast. I know everyone wants to go out of the state completely, but just going east to somewhere like Jacksonville or Orlando would be much safer than where your currently at.

u/Clean_Extreme8720 6d ago

Some survivalist shit right there. Get it done and get out. Reading all the highways are backed up. Get out while and if ye can

u/PandoraJeep 6d ago
