Get out as soon as you can, you don’t want a huge traffic jam.

Praying for all of you in this most scary and heartbreaking time ..please be safe 🙏 love from UK

The first Kathy’s advice was excellent. No water, sewer, or electricity is enough motivation for me to leave. Who wants to deal with that for potentially several days to a few weeks? We THINK we can handle it, but after about one day without those services you would be wishing you had left.

Attention..Please Share...Anybody with pets, please keep them inside and safe. If you leave, take them with you. If you see strays and are able, please have a heart and give them shelter. Help save those unable to save themselves. These poor furbabies don't deserve to die. Every life matters, every soul counts. God Bless!🐶🐕🙏💯🙏🏿🐈🦊

[Darin]

The evacuations the authorities are setting up are not only for your safety but it's to save your life. People of Florida please do not underestimate the storm. 🙂😇 Please evacuate.

With this next hurricane, if you choose to stay in one of these flood zones please write your social security number in permanent marker on your torso to help identify your body.

Not sure who this lady is doing sign, but she is NOT signing the majority of what's being said! So if you can hear and you're watching, I hope you have captions!

[lindaroper]

Please leave to safety. Your belongings arent as important as you are. These things can be replaced, your life cant. God please watch over these dear people. 🙏🇺🇸

[InvernessFlorida]

We pray peace, we pray that the power behind the storm would bow to the name of Jesus Christ and be still

[maggieedwards]

Mother nature I plead that you go easy on the region, 🙏🏽🙏🏽😔

[Mmmmkaaay]

Y'all are toast. Leave now.
I grew up in Tarpon Springs and I can tell you that even a Cat One would make that bayou flood my house. I mean look at the poor response for those folks in Western North Carolina.. Do you honestly think the government is going to have your back?

Im in zone A, live in St Pete near I275 and my fiance he's in national guard and got activated for hurricane duties. I proactively left with my 2 toddlers to my sis in Orlando today. I shared my concerns and fear with my boss, also let her know i think its best evacuate with my 2 toddlers before hurricane actually hits. Guess what happened. She fired me for putting my babies before my job.

[antoinettewilliams]

Are y'all going to come get some of us who doesn't have a vehicles? I don't have a car, two kids, in the Tampa Bay area please come get me.
