We still gotta see where he's going but we're in the "cone."
Fellow Floridians... start checking in this week! Let us know you're okay.

You know what Kay?? I was watching the news last night and thought about starting a prayer thread for you folks down there. The last I heard was that it would hit the West Coast of Florida. Of course, I've been at work all day so don't know the latest. Thanks for posting that map. Last night they were saying that if it passes by the mountains (?) of Cuba, then it will lose strength by the time it hits Florida...at least I think that's what they said. :o

Prayers to all of you. Please stay safe and check in.

Gosh, I hadn't seen that particular projected path, but it seems whichever forecast I look at, he's headed your way, Kay, so thanks for starting this thread. You'll all be in our prayers.

:eek: Stay safe everyone!!

My Daughter and Son-In -Law live near Orlando!!!! :eek:

so, You know where I stand when the word "Hurricane" is viewable on Weather.com!!! :eek:

Ernesto, I know that name !!!!!!!! I am keeping an eye on that one, and , I am praying , full throttle!!!!!

I haven't seen that projected path either!!!!!!

I hate hurricanes :mad: it looks like the tampa/st.pete area will be hit :(

I don't think anyone in a coastal state in the southeast will be spared this one, for sure. But, Florida will take the worst hit. Kay, I hope everything will be ok. Please keep us posted as you can.

I hope everyone will be ok, stay safe!!

please stay safe everyone! ((hugs))

Everyone PLEASE keep yourself and PETS safe!!!

I live in a modular and will be staying with my parents with all 7 cats on thursday and friday until it is safe to return home.

I will be praying for everyone involved. GO AWAY ERNESTO!!!

Hey, Logan, last I heard tonight was that he was heading for the Carolinas and we may be getting flooding rains this weekend. Hope not. Thinking of you all in Ernesto's path and praying you and your pets stay safe.

My brother-in-law in the Keys is supposed to get it tonight. He is staying put. They say that we will probably feel it up here at the Jersey shore by the weekend, although I am sure it will have worn itself out by then.

Stay safe everyone!!

Here's a question for anyone living in Florida. Since you live in a hurricane prone area, how do insurance companies handle that? Are you able to get full coverage? Do they say it's an act of God and won't be covered? Just curious since I'm not familiar with anyone who lives in such an area and wondered if you pay higher rates or do not have full coverage?

I hope everyone makes it through okay!
Prayers to you all!
Looks like I'll be getting the rain Sunday or Monday unless he changes his path and hooks a quick Right back out into the ocean!

Good idea Kay. I have also been following the news closely and wondering how our PT Floridians are doing.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
