Keep in mind there are men & women - professional aviators & scientists - buckled into bouncing planes...flying in and out of #Dorian for sake of a better forecast. It's part of the reason there's a Cat. 5 hurricane some 150 mi east of PBI and we're not totally losing our minds.

EM’s fired up evacuation activations, too. Many took action. But I fear we’ve moved into an era where “I’ll do my own research” prevails and leads to poor decision making… and ends with “I didn’t think it would be that bad.” #Ian

Bottled water is convenient, not a must-have. Your fridge has a dispenser, your sink works. It’s OK assembling water @ home vs. buying all the bougie water when the store brand is gone. Folks raided the grocery today. I feel it’s a function of those that had a tough go w/Irma.

Tip on any hurricane supplies: no matter what you see available online at big box stores, don’t try to online order it. They will not fulfill the order, but at the same time, not inform you they aren’t filling it for 24-48 hrs. Go to the store. This has happened ‘16 ‘17 & ‘19.
