    I have a good friend in fort Myers. He evacuated for Ian in 2022. The roof of a building on his property was blown off. Got it replaced. Now again the big blow is coming. What a life. Better to have Iranian missles.

      “you probably need to write your name in permanent marker on your arm so that people know who you are when they get to you afterwards”

      That’s the advice given by the FL Attorney General to residents ignoring the evacuation orders.

          Wasn’t expecting them in Ft Lauderdale today.

          Only non-witches get due process.

              Just spoke to them; okay for now. They have a pretty good chance of avoiding the flooding but I wonder about the wind. I'm thinking the trees in their neighborhood are going to pose a problem.

                Among the evacuated are 17 hospitals, 63 nursing homes and 179 assisted-living facilities. Can you imagine? Where do they all go?

                Surge hospitals.

                I worked at a surge hospital. All electives are canceled. You enlarge necessary services (we would double the number of ICU beds). You discharge what you can. You take in staff from other hospitals and you hot-bunk them.

                Nursing home patients & assisted living.

                That's tough. You can place some of them in hospitals or other nursing homes. Families can take some in for the limited period needed. Public Health down here operates a series of medical shelters... They're staffed by Public Health nurses and doctors, along with local docs, and they take care of ambulatory nursing home patients or people with severe chronic illnesses that can't shelter without medical care.

                But you're right, it is a monumental problem.

                  They will. But wind is vastly preferable to water.

                      @George-K He has been huddling with Rep Greene. Both seem to agree that the government controls hurricanes. (Tell that to Taiwan, which got a big one a couple of weeks ago. Must be mainland China!)

                          I see a couple Southwest flights headed south into Fort Lauderdale.

                          I bet they hit some bumps.

                            It’s hitting to the south of Tampa. Sarasota… Most of the water’s been sucked out of the bay. Sarasota is going to be very wet.

                                  So, I'm thinking of moving to Israel to enjoy the peace and calm of getting hit by 30 or so rockets on a good day and every now and then 180 or so.

                                  Shat storm all around just a couple of branches broken and a yardful of crap to clean--not to mention a dock way under water with some sort of tree floating and trapped between the pylons. So first Helene, now Milton and soon to be Nadine. But it's the HELL of it. I'm all good though.

                                  And it wouldn't hurt you all in the future to please do a little more recycling or not using plastic bags or drive Tesla trucks or whatever. Much thanks. 🙂

                                        Governor Ron is really the best. He'd make a great president even it it's just in the "getting things done" department. Unlke most (or all) politicians he's an able administrator.
