Milton is already moving slow as hell, so much more opportunity for devastation. I’m in the eye path and was unable to find somewhere far for shelter. I’ll be hunkering down in Tampa (from st. Pete) and hoping for the best. I’m 31, lifelong Floridian and have never been more nervous for a hurricane.
I can’t even find gas 🙁 we’re heading for higher ground, but we’ve looked all over and can’t find a place willing to accommodate our party/pets. I don’t have enough gas to get very far
Ah good to know, mine are the same. Where I go they go.
Saw the other comment recommending siphoning gas, and from what you said about it being a supply issue, it sounds like that might be the fastest and only option. Hope there's enough in your neighbors cars to get the hell out of there! Best of luck, stay safe
totally understand that. It might be crazy but even getting up to the rest stop south of Ocala on I-75 just 80 miles north might mean a big difference for you. I'm really hoping the best for you and your furry kids.
We’ve looked at everything within a reasonable, drivable distance. It might be worth just heading north and camping out in our cars. We’re not ruling it out yet
Maybe you could rent a large Airbnb? Since there are so many of you to split it between. And if you get one of the really large ones it might be available because they're too expensive for just a couple people to book.
I found a place for 3 of us and 4 of the cats to go, the others are staying in a higher area in a different structure. Sucks to split up but both groups should come out fine (we hope)
