Gettin' out while the gettin's good. Slow, but steady...


 Hurricane Milton stands at a Category 4, the second highest rating on 
the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It is expected to have winds stronger than 140 miles per hour.
In Hillsborough County, home to nearly 1.5 million people in the Tampa Bay Area, residents are scrambling as local leadership orders the evacuation of zones A and B — essentially anyone living immediately on the coast or just outside.

If you can use some exotic booze, there's a bar in far Bombay
Come on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away...

Those of us who have been through enough storms - this will be 
my 15th (+/-) hurricane - take this shit seriously. There's two simple rules about storms of this magnitude. First is, you can't do diddly-shit to mitigate what the storm wants to do, and, most important - no single possesion is worth risking near-certain death or injury. Juss' sayin'...

Snappers is (or probably was after Helene) a great waterfront bar 
in Crystal River, Florida. Whatever did happen to it last week, it's almost certain it won't make it through Milton. Too bad. Best fish sandwich in the south...

Today should be okay, but god knows what the next coupla days'll 
be like. If you're here with me in the Sunshine State, remember, better safe than sorry is the key. Good luck. 
After today, I'll post what I can when I can...
