Love the culture there, everyone is so chill and laid back. It's like the white caribbean. People keep to themselves and don't bother you. But if you engage one of them, it's like they are you're long lost pal. Taxes are another story. We kept receipts of what we bought and got our 20% sales tax back at the airport. When we'd pay 450kr for dinner, frigging 90kr of that is taxes!! Seems crazy when you live with 7% sales tax. But, i'd be ok with a huge sales tax and lower income tax. Though seems that the Danes don't get that deal either. Got to keep the queen and royal family living in the lap of luxury. I found out that the Queen alone gets something like $55,000,000 USD a year for turning oxygen into carbon dioxide. And some how, they've convinced the hard working, (lol) Danes this is a good thing! Anyway, back to Irma.

All the stations now report how many millions of Americans are in the path of xyz weather disaster. Like it wouldn't matter if only half as many people were.

I just heard the Maho resort in St Martin my wife and I stayed at last march complete destroyed. There are reports of some of the hotel employees missing.
Our thought are with everyone who's in the path of this storm. Stay safe. |

I'm in Palm Beach County and I'm leaving for Ocala in the am. I was able to get a room for a couple nights, however I'm contemplating on wether or not I should take my 1 or not. This afternoon it shifted east slightly. It'll be stored in a 2 car garage while I'm in Ocala, but don't know if I should take my car or not. What should I do?

Having done these evacuations multiple times, it will takes hours to move miles. If you don't have a full tank, finding a station with gas on the drive could be a challenge.

Before I left work my job announced that we'll be closed tomorrow and Friday. A four day weekend of concern, however, we are prepared. Kites and hand held antennas are all ready.

Man, shit got real in the islands. Tomorrow's news may be very bad. Hope it's not as bad as some folks are reporting. And Jose looks to bring them another hit in a few days.

My uncle/aunt/cousins lived @ Sint Maarten but not anymore. Been there once. Dutch government is rather negative about the results of the storm.... Stay safe there. Cheers Robin |

I live in Orlando, FL but I'll be in Japan another week. I avoid airport parking after getting a vicious door ding years ago. When I left hurricanes weren't on my mind and thought the 235 would be more secure at my house and parked my old beater in my parking garage at work and caught a ride to the airport. Now the 235 is sitting under a rather flimsy portable carport from Costco next to my house. A friend is going by to remove the walls of the carport and try securing the legs into the ground with earth anchors. It's a dilemma to keep the roof of the carport to protect the car from falling debris or leave it to act as a sail and help the frame of the carport bang into the sides of the car.
I'm thinking about calling a locksmith to open the door of my house so he can move my car to a more protected location. However, not even sure if a locksmith would do that if I'm not there and can't remember where my backup car keys are located. Last edited by shadowfax; 09-07-2017 at 06:54 AM..

I live on my 50 foot sailboat in the Manatee river off the Tampa Bay. Unfortunately for the rest of the state it is good news for me if it keeps tracking east. I have tied down the mizzensail and mainsail. Today the genoa comes down. The bimini top and frame are down and lashed. The booms are both lashed. Everything is off the deck. Sending my wife and daughter to my parents house inland with the bmw while I hang back with the truck. My plan is to make any last minute adjustments needed then get the hell out of dodge after I can confirm my home (boat) is safe.

St Martin is pretty much destroyed. St Thomas, early accounts, lost their hospital. All the green is gone. Stripped every last leaf. Boats stacked on top of each other on St Martin.
