Hurricane Milton is a CAT 5 and Coming for Florida

Sounds like my friends in Lakeland did okay. The Mrs said she had to work until 5 on Monday or they would have gotten out before the hurricane came. They lost the screen to the lenoi and a approximately 8ft section of privacy fence. A lot of branches and other debris in the yard but it sounds like nothing major, overall.

This is Florida. I've had to work through several tropical storms. Employers here will make you work till the last possible minute, and expect your ass back to work the moment it passes.

I agree. She's in the medical field so perhaps she was considered vital. /shrug

When I worked for the military they came to me and said you have been declared an "essential civilian" for the military.

When I asked what does that mean, they said you cant leave town if there is a hurricane. I was like what? I'm a civilian with a family. Ohhhh no worries, we will house you and the family in a hurricane proof place on base, If you cant make it, we will send troops and or helicopters to get you on base if needed. Do I get a raise? they laughed and said no.
