Hurricane Ian / Nicole Thread

[oxrageous]

With the game certain to be cancelled this weekend, I'd like to make this the Hurrican Ian thread. I want our members to be safe, as it looks like this is going to slam Florida pretty good. I'm fairly fortunate that I'm mostly out of the cone on the southeast coast, but many of our members aren't so lucky.

Post in here with your situation so we can all root for you.

Discuss.

Current situation:

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Maybe they just move the game to Sunday

 

[Gulfstream]

I'm gonna be busy.

 

[gatormandan]

At this time it looks like I get a direct hit.

 

[FireFoley]

Thread title says UF vs. EMU. Looks like a tough opponent.

Or is that Trey Dean immediately after the defense is called and right before the ball is snapped?

 

[LaylaGator]

I live in the suburbs just EAST of Tampa, so we don't have the flooding concerns like our neighbors who live closer to the water. My biggest concern is loss of power, and I have a generator for that (though I really hate the thought of lugging it out to the backyard and firing it up).

Prayers for all in the path.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Great, cancel a for sure win for this team.

 

[GatorRaz]

Everyone hang in there and be safe. Praying this thing dissipates!
Go Gators!!!

 

[Gatorraid81]

We'll cancel the damn game, and still pay them too

 

[PaulDrake]

Yeah, looks like Ian is making a bee line for the ol' PaulDrake homestead here in Jacksonville, FL. My family doesn't live in a flood zone but JEA is notorious for its power outages and poor response. Sometimes we'll just have a light rain and [zzzzaaappp!] the power goes out.

Who's the dumbazz who didn't put in an "Act of God" clause??? Asking for a friend...I'm just hoping for some rain up here in NE Georgia; all y'all be safe...go Gators...

 

[bayou gator]

We've been watching it with tremendous concern over here in Pensacola these past few days. Everyone here knows all too well how storms can gain momentum and make a beeline to the panhandle once they reach the Gulf. Last night's shift to the East is letting everyone over this way breathe a little easier, but it's still too early to get comfortable. He's a big slumbering bastard that I want no part of.

Prayers Layla.

Do yourself a favor and go buy 5 gallon gas cans and FILL them now.

Ida came in 90 miles west of me and we had no power for a week...And gas was a 2 hr drive one way.

Start filling water jugs and if you have a freezer, freeze them. They'll keep your freezer cold for several days and you'll have water.

Also have your BBQ pit ready.

Again hope and prayers this is a nothing burger.

Let's blame Napier, seems like everything else is his fault.

 

[soflagator]

So, three straight Saturdays of rain during tailgating and late games, one beautiful weekend for an away game, and now this. As was mentioned, we need wins and momentum for the next two weeks. Plus I promised my son a surprise for something extra I already paid for. My God, 2022 sucks.

What will The Ghouls clang cymbals and Nash their teeth over?

 

[soflagator]

I just talked to the office and they’re saying the same thing. But the fact that it’s even being mentioned by Stricklin says it all. I’ve seen this episode too many times.

Agreed (LSU PTSD...). The official "Parents of UF Class of 22XX" FB pages are going bananas because it's not only the game, but UF's official "Parents Weekend." I'm sure the athletic office is getting BOMBED with calls. For a mental image of "bananas," picture any episode of what "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" would be like, but they have a kid at UF that is a freshman and they have flights and hotels booked.
