This was the pictures I was seeing on the TV. Thinking maybe we should get out of Dodge? By what I was shown, the storm eye was coming right over Fort Pierce and Vero Beach. No reason to take a chance? Plus most of the people in our park was telling me they are leaving. I was thinking about riding it out here? But like I said,everyone I was talking with was leaving. So my neighbor (Roy) and I were talking saying maybe we should leave? He told me he was going west to his brother's place. But as I was writing this, he called. He is in Naples. Staying at his son in laws home.
Thursday morning finished putting up my shutters. I packed some clothes and most of my tools. Plus the bike. Hey pretty much everything I own is very little. So I found my important papers and packed everything up and threw it in the truck. Started out going north on 95. This is around 8 am.
Got on 60 and headed west. Really no big traffic problem at all.
Got to Lake Wales and the traffic started to get heavy. But it was still flowing. Got to my cousin's place by 10:30 am. It was raining on and off. But no rely troubles.
My cuz Bonita needed some stuff from Walmart. Got there and saw even here the bread was gone already. We are almost 140 miles in from the east coast. Plus notice the gas stations were out of gas too. I got gas for $2.09 a gallon. So I have been hearing about people over charging for supplies. But I have not seen any yet.
Heading east around 10 am. So I will let you know if and what has happen to my place. I just texted a guy in Fort Pierce and he said he still ha power. That is a wonderful thing.
