Irma

[Futbalfantic]

I am up for a disaster response team slated to go to Fl

 

[shawn]

I drove past Costco at lunch and I bet there were 100 cars waiting in line to get gas.

It's always like that. People will sit in line for 15 minutes just to save $0.03/gallon on a 15 gallon fill-up.

 

[Tom@Hilltop_Machine]

Just checked my inventory of emergency supplies.
I've got beer,dog food,water, beans, rice, 10k pistol primers and 14 pounds of gun powder.
Life is good!

No night vision?

Thought I was prepared, just got word from elderly family that they're on their way up from Florida and will be here tonight. So looks like I'll have 7 more house guests and 3 more dogs. Should only need pick up more flushable/bathing water and toilet paper.

Dammit, timing always sucks. I'm on call next week for ERO (Emergency Response Organization) at the neutron factory. That means by law I have to stay fit for duty. No beer-drinking for me during the hurricane.

So, if we have a Charlotfuckoshima, we can blame you?

No night vision?

Maybe. Not everything was lost in the tragic boating accident.
Don't ask, don't tell...

So we are heading to the OBX early Saturday morning I sure hope we can find enough gas to push the TJ from the mountains to the coast.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

There's no problem with gas down this way...I haven't seen any stations that are out, no big stupid lines, just a price jump to like 2.65 for regular and 2.49 for diesel. I'm just glad diesel is cheaper than regular, like it's supposed to be!

@josh$$ can help you with a carrier for fuel

 

[obullfish]

Mathematicians how much fuel will I need for about 475 miles in a TJ that gets about 10 mpg?

 

[CasterTroy]

Prepper math: 500 gallons

47.5

 

[NC-V]

No lines or shortage of gas in Mooresville at 530 today. But my Fiance's store in Concord was sold out of water by 10am and daily sales average was almost tripled by 4pm.

 

[obullfish]

47.5

So 500 gallons will cover it

Texted him waiting for a response back. Pretty good idea

Looks like the storm is forecasted to take a more westward path. Looks like you'll be clear of the path if you're at OBX. Then again, the storm hasn't even hit FL yet and this is all based on forecasting.

Ironically I have one kid at UNCW and one at WCU and the one in the MOUNTAINS may get it worse

Bet the one in Cullowhee can party harder! Hope both of them stay safe.

 

[rodney eppes]

Bring us some bread and fuel back.

Jerky! I want some Jerky, Dear.

While I was getting my usual $100 diesel for the work truck [90 gal tank],at the QT, I noticed Premium is $3.09. That's What my pick up is Suppose to run, but I choose regular, to mid grade. Pump cut off at the 100 $ mark, & the $2.59 price cost me 5 gallons volume, from Last week's price. It Do make a difference!

 

[rodney eppes]

Jason Watson, says he can't get internet up Yonder, but he can get a Hurricane! Well, Lets hope Not!

 

[Tacoma747]

I am just crossing my fingers and hoping my sump pump can keep up. I may go buy a backup from harbor freight just in case I need it.

Local fire Dept called me and asked if I could be put on emergency contact list since I have all the local 6x6's haha. Who needs a snorkel when your factory air intake is already 7-8' off the ground?

 

[RatLabGuy]

It's high 60s and sunny here until Tuesday.

 

[NC_IslandRunner]

I got about a case and a half of bottled water left over from last weekend camping trip, that should do. Should have enough meat in the freezer to last, plenty of canned veggies in the cabinet. Note to self, take something that doesn't need to microwave for lunch Monday, in case we lose power there, because we never close.
