UPDATE:

ICECAP BACKUP IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AQAMAI

 

So these tanks are SOL.  if anyone needs a great idea: DC PUMPS WITH BATTERY BACK UPS FOR NANOS AND PICOS.  seriously.  we do not have any options for people needing to leave.  so there is a wasted $300.  and my tanks...  goodness I oray the power holds. :'(

[lkoechle]

So the neighbor is suppose to come over Saturday or Sunday to check on the tanks (before the storm hits) so we are going to ask him to turn the bubblers on for the smaller tanks then.  That should power the tanks through the worst of the storm (Sunday/Monday depending on forecast) and we wobt have to worry about powerfailures in the mean time until it passes and neighbor can replace batteries if power is still out

Wishing you the best, we're all worried for everyone  

 

You've done the best that you could! How soon do you leave?

Thanks.  We left about an hour ago.  Thankfully traffic isnt bad yet.  Atlanta I am sure is going to be a nightmare especially with Savannah probably evacuating.

Stay safe.

We're staying put. If you don't hear anything from me again assume I floated away with the fishies

gross.  I know who's house I dont want to be at now!

Ha! Seriously, my dogs won't go in the house and the cats will use a litter box. But I'd rather clean up a little turd off the floor flush it and sanitize then clean it up out of dirt

you could always get that fake grass and put it in a walk in shower and rinse it off after flushing the turd.

I'm wishing you the best during this storm.  My entire family lives in Spring Hill and Zepherhills.  Since they're on the west coast, they're worried about the wind but not necessarily the flooding (which I think is dumb, but I've never lived in Florida).  

 

Safe travels!

You just never really know with a hurricane what to expect-wind. rain. storm surge. tornados...

Thanks! pretty much what penny said. storms like this  can throw everything and turn on a dime.   I have seen "wont hit by a ways" to "will direct hit at a cat 4" in 16 hours.  Its one of those things that you need to have decided and committed to if youre evacuating or staying 36 to 48 hours before hand to be safe either out of state or prepped in your house.

I went to Walmart yesterday and there was not a jug of water to be seen. I was like geez people, is it gonna be that bad when it gets this far inland?

well, it should be pretty weak with the new path unless it swings more east again.  right now it looks like it its gonna slice fl right up the middle.  So we will take those hits for you!

 

Well, penny will. I will just take rain.

Yeah FL always gets hit lol.  I'm like...4-5 hours from the coast so we should just see rain and maybe high winds with possibility of tornadoes.  I don't think we'll get anything to warrent the run on bottled water.
