For those of you that don't know I'm an officer in the USN based out of NAS Key West , I work as a liaison of sorts with the Coast Guard dealing primarily with judicial matters but also when the need arises disaster response which in this case was primarily coordinating my wings missions. So for me its been an interesting week , I rode out Irma with some great guys and luckily the base I reported too  wasn't too hard hit and we where able to begin rescue efforts immediately. My house is mostly fine minus most of the roof and my garage but that's what insurance is for. My neighbor's are all safe  and their houses still stand but my office on  base was destroyed. Also my Aunts house flooded but again insurance is great so not a major concern

 

Key West took a tough blow and it's still recovering and will be for some time I'm just very thankful that the fatalities weren't higher

 

@souprshooter hopefully your place came through ok?

 

 

Yes unequivocally yes we got lucky incredibly lucky that Irma died down a bit before hitting the Keys and then the panhandle otherwise it would have been catastrophic.

Yeah, got back recently everything turned out ok!

I made it all the way to Mississipi guys haha. Guess this was a good excuse to get to know these states! Crazy how all hotels/motels are fully booked everywhere in Georgia and even Alabama is packed. Tons of Floridians out here!

Hey Im in your neck of the woods right now, I'm up in Fort Lauderdale helping my Aunt prep her house before she heads to her in laws place farther inland. My wife and kids are heading to my parents place in Seattle as a precaution just in case Irma changes up and hits the key's. I'm glad I brought extra gas and plenty of supplies with me as I would rather not have to brave the lines at the local stores right now.

 

Good call

Yeah I'm headed out to Atlanta tomorrow... Supposedly there was a

mandatory evac for all the keys. And yeah it's nice having supplies, lines at costco, publix, gas stations, hell everywhere are absurd. Good luck with everything! It's going to suck dealing with floodings and repairs in the aftermath!!

LOTS of people are starting to fly out or drive north, me being one of them! Lol no way I try to ride this thing out over here. 

[OMG Hurricane?]

Is anyone else here in South Florida? I live over here in Broward County... people are going nuts at gas stations and super markets.

Can't believe people are saying the mods should unpin this thread... this thread is a unique historical piece of CDC history lol!!! Like saying take down the jerseys down the rafters because it's time to move on... they stay there and bother no one, but remind us of great moments and players.
