[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Orlando and no one is blowing this off. I live in a house that has a tile roof and basically made of cement block as the structure, and so we're not worried about damage to our house, but flooding.

Hang in there pregnant PP! I wish I could give you our number here in case you run into any difficulty![/quote]

My mother has lived in Florida for 35 years.  She has a network of friends and I have some friends near her.  They are planning to ride it out.  There isn't expected to be a lot of flooding north of town.  The biggest threat are the winds, falling trees and power outages.  Based on the last few major hurricanes, various parts of the area will be out of power.  My mother is part of a group of about 15-16 families, plus my friends and another old family friend.  Between them, they coordinate and if someone loses power, they move to one of the friends in the group's home to wait out the power outage.

We tried to talk her into either coming up here to be with us or go to my brother's place in Houston, but she said that she's been through many hurricanes over the years and she can handle it with her support network.  They are all stocking up their houses and will fill bathtubs, but otherwise plan to ride it out.[/quote]
