@Totalanimefan:
I was driving around town yesterday and i honestly am surprised by how much flooding there is around here. Along i4 between Deltona and Sandford the side of the road is just flooded marshland. There's visible water up to about 3 feet away from the shoulder of the road in most areas, then in sanford, along the st john's river the apartment complexes are flooded, i don't even know what the zoo looks like over there. lots of neighborhoods in deltona have flooding up to i've heard 6 feet deep in some areas. I haven't really been anywhere in orlando, but at least the apartment complex i used to live at wasn't flooded. I know UCF had a lot of flooding. I can only imagine what other areas are like. I know that because ian moved so slowly it was really bad. I don't remember Katrina much (i was like... 12 when that happened, and in idaho and oblivious to the world outside of my metropolitan area) but i know it was really bad because it's below sea level. I imagine that Ian is comparable to Katrina though.

@Wildfire: Yeah, usually we prepare a bit better, but honestly i just didn't really think about it until after it started getting windy here. And by then there was no gas or water, and i just didn't really think much of it. Normally we have some canned veggies on hand too anyways, just cause it makes dinners easier.
We've been struggling with the internet the last few days since we're technically still in an outage, but apparently the internet access keeps getting paused and we keep having to call in to unpause our devices (mostly his pc, but just now, mine). It's quite annoying, really.

@Wildfire: I realized that i'm really bad at hurricane prep. I didn't even fill my gas tank before the storm. or get feminine supplies, knowing full well i would need them. I finally found a gas station on thursday after the storm mellowed out that had gas and was able to get both needs met, thankfully, but i didn't get a full tank of gas, and struggled saturday night to find gas again. We also didn't buy any water or canned goods or anything, actually.

@Totalanimefan: it was hit or miss last night for a while, but i got a call saying the outage was officially over so it's all good now!
@wildfire: Yeah, no kidding. it's definitely something i took for granted.

@CooperationIsKey: i hope it's up soon too. my husband and i have been bred out of our minds this weekend without internet. we've been sleeping a lot to pass the time. We just got to our old roommates' apartment and are leeching the wifi for a bit to download a few episodes of things for tomorrow. I'm hoping it will be back tomorrow, but chances are slim, i think.

@CooperationIsKey:
I am okay, our power flickered a couple times, but it was fine. However (and the reason I haven't posted) on Thursday around noon(right before I was supposed to go to work) the internet went down. The outage might last through the weekend. Which sucks because its so incredibly boring without internet, but it's nice cause no work and I believe I'm getting paid for the time gone. Also spectrum should be giving us a big credit for it being out for so long. So that's nice. My phone has shoddy signal at the house so I'm actually at Walmart sitting in my car right now as I write this out. We might be going to our friends apartment tonight though since they have internet.

@Totalanimefan: lol yes ma'am! Haha
I know, it's crazy how bad it is, but also that it could be worse!

@Wildfire: yes, definitely. And yeah, thankfully it's not too bad yet, but I know it will get a bit worse later.
I'm still hoping that the power stays on, at least until I get my quilt done. I'm so close to being done but right now I have a LOT of pins in it and I have several more to add before I can run it through my Machine to quilt it.
Also I need to charge phone before the storm hits just in case.

@Totalanimefan: @Wildfire: my mother in law just sent me a picture one of her coworkers daughters friends took from her 3rd floor of the neighbor's house and the water is up to the roof in fort Meyers. Pretty intense.
I'm glad Tampa is doing okay, but I feel so worried for Fort Meyers and the surrounding coastal cities. It's so intense. It's been raining off and on here with a bit of wind. We probably won't get much until tomorrow morning

@CooperationIsKey: I'm glad to hear you've moved further in land. It's important, and i really hope your roommate and the pets are going to be okay. I'm worried about you and @Wildfire: because of where you guys are. By the time it hits me it should be around a 1 or even may have slowed to just a tropical storm, so no real worries for me.
