What to do?

#1 Postby david1 » Fri Aug 13, 2004 6:06 am

Stay here in Lake City or go to Wildwood. I need to be on the east side of wall, either way I will stay inland.
Any suggestions where the eye will pass through?

Thanks

Whatever you decide to do... do it soon. Time is of the essence.

This is not a baby storm... I am sure you realize that, but I just want to stress how dangerous it is.

It's a good way to end up dead too.

Seriously consider NOT getting into the eastern eyewall. This is going to be a Category 3, not something to play around with.

Unless you have a hook up in wildwood I would stop in ocala. Not many places to stay in wildwood and I would bet they are full with tampa evac.

I do appreciate your concern, If I have never done this before I would not do it with this one.
I have safe places to stay in Wildwood and Lakeland.
Thanks again
