So im here in Miami, heading to work for the county as an 'essential' employee trying to squeeze in all the cruise ships before the storm comes. People are scared, too many memories of Andrew

Ive lucked out so far and havent been here for a big one and too young to have dealt with Andrew or others

In line now for gas, 2.79 a gallon, was 2.35 last week. More to come later, its my turn to pump!

Anyone else down here dealing with this?

Best of luck, keep us posted when you can. What essential task do you provide for the County?

Thanks, i operate and maintain the rquipment on the cruise ship side at the Port so were here tying everything down and getting the ships in and out. Theyre coming in onesie twosie debarking passengers and heading back out to sea, so rough schedule and now were getting reports that Irma will make landfall somewhere down here in South Florida

In other news i got the call for my other job yesterday so Monday will br my last day. Coulda left earlier but didnt want to leave these guys a man short.

Will keep ya posted

I'll add my prayers in the hope that you folks in the path will have the same strength and positive attitude in helping one another that my kids have found dealing with their nightmare in TX. It just amazes me the strength of community in the aftermath of disaster.

Good for you. So, the other job?

Customs and Border Protection Officer, (the blue shirts, not the green shirt Border Patrol) in Nogales, AZ

My first day is the 25th. Talk about a change of scenery

I just have hope that the nasty whirligig witch takes a hard right about the Bahamas and twists off out to sea..... and her little cousin, Jose, fizzles out soon. Enough for this year already for everyone.

Interesting! Hang in there but leave as soon as you can.

Keep safe, man - it's about 5pm EST Saturday, with that Irma bearing down on you all. Wish you good luck and stay safe!
Let's get these hurricanes and wildfires to settle down, already!
