If you're reading this and preparing for the storm to hit your area, I would like you to remember to take detailed photos of your house. Each and every room, all of your stuff. Even inside your cabinets and refrigerator. Should you come to find your house damaged, these will go a long way to helping your insurance claim when you start to recover.

God be with you all in Florida. Prayers for your protection 🙏

I'm so happy to see so many people leaving. The experts have done their jobs and the smart people will live another day.

If you have homeowner’s insurance and/or flood insurance, please video record every room of your house including the interior of the refrigerator. It’ll be easier for you and your insurance carrier to verify the contents of the interior when making a claim.

Prayers to those who choose to stay in their homes, and those who have no choice but to stay. May citizens come together to help others in the aftermath.

I lived in Sarasota County for 20 years and went through several hurricanes including category 5 hurricane Charlie. I hope people are heeding the warnings and staying safe. Please take all pets with you if you must leave. My thoughts are with you all that you will be safe as I watch from NC.

good luck to everybody facing the hurricane!

Please everyone if you have pets do not leave them behind. If you are unable to evacuate with them, then call your local rescue or shelter! God bless you all🙏

[rogerfraser]

From the folks in zephryhills Florida prayers to all here in Florida and every state in the path we are going to get slammed hunker down folks that are staying put .

I don't think it's smart to announce your leaving your house alone on the news while showing your address

Please if you are in a house trailer evacuate.I watch hurricane Michael implode mobile homes down to their metal frames and wheels.We lost 9 trailers in the mobile home park thankfully the people evacuated.We survived because we were in a maintenance workshop concrete block building next to the mobile home park and watched the workshop garage door and glass windows blown in as the roof tried to come off with rain, debris falling down on us in workshop 5x5 bathroom.white out rain deafening roaring wind walls of side ways rain so bad at times we couldn’t see 5ft in front of us.5 weeks no electricity 2 weeks No running water and cell service was gone except for AT&T and even they had dead zones and while not a necessity no cable tv or internet 4 months.People looting what wasn’t destroyed dusk to dawn mandatory curfew.Pitch black at night long lines for ice and gas.No grocery or convenience stores for 8 weeks.Roads impassable because of 70 ft pine trees /power lines poles everywhere people trapped in their homes roads were blocked for miles and miles.We lost 95% of our electrical grid and 90% of our beautiful forests and pine trees broke my heart to see devastation all around us and watched tenants cry because they lost everything as they picked through the rubble of their mobile homes..We got first responders within 24 hours because we were downtown Panama City fla thankfully, but our more rural areas of Bay county residents weren’t so lucky people went hungry and without water when their supplies ran out.

I’m actually more concerned about people in Cuba given their not-so sturdy infrastructure and economical status. GOD protect them as well 🙏.
