Something About Nothing ... #12

[Bluer101]

Just saying hi and everyone be safe. Just finished doing all our prep down here.

Well this is a meetup or not that we will remember.

 

[tinydancer09]

just rode kong. Parks are closing at 5 today.

So is disney. Just saw that on the weather channel. They're saying it COULD be a cat 5 right around orlando. It's going through a rapid intensification and the pressure is dropping quickly. They're now comparing it to what Charley did. However, if it's a cat 5 it will be right there at the end. Either way...... wow.

I'm happy to be sitting warm & dry in our suite @ RPH. Happier that the rental car with two leaking tires limped up to hotel.

Something like this makes you realize what is truly important.

Bluer & goofyfigment, hope you weather the storm well tonight.

Robo so sorry I missed u on Sunday, appears I had misunderstood what time we were supposed to meet. Hopefully, next time. If you are back in FL, good wishes sent your way.

Stay safe y'all! Luckily, POR said that everyone is not to leave their rooms until they say it's safe to do so. THat means, they are not kicking us out at 11am when we are supposed to check out for our next hotel. Yay! Housekeeping delivered a flashlight to our room today.

Husband doesn't have to work tomorrow obviously. He got to ride a few rides today and was informed not to ride with a certain guy since that guy worked on the ride so he knows all the place to shoot to max the score out.

Hello everyone. Just stopping by to say HI and hope everyone is doing well. We are sitting out on our patio watching the rain and wind. It stinks being down here but I know it won't be any better up there in Orlando. We are doing good though all hunkered down with a house full of family members. We wish we were with our DIS family. Everyone stay safe. Mrbluer and I will check in here to make sure everyone is good.

Hello, left Epcot at its 5pm closing, and now hunkered down in my room. Was told no one to leave room until at least tomorrow afternoon. They will let us know if that changes. Just spent over 2 and 1/2 hours waiting for our limited quick service place. Closes at 10 tonight and will not reopen until 5 tomorrow. My champion breakfast will be chocolate milk and caramel apple. Had a huge chicken tossed salad that I only put a dent in for a very late dinner, so will be my lunch tomorrow too. Yes, parks and DSprings closed tomorrow. Hoping to all reopen on Saturday. Reimbursed ressies missed due to weather.

Stay safe y'all in Matthew's path.

Yay Keisha, glad you made the switch without issue today.

Robo, was sad could not meet up with ya. Will do one of these days.

Kolby, what? Ugh. Waving to ya from across the fake river.

Nice place for birthday celebration Squirl.

Glad to hear our homies in Orlando checking in...take care and stay safe everyone. At least this will be a trip to remember

 

[KStarfish82]

Stay safe down there!

 

[tinydancer09]

Checked in with Mac and Sharky. All are fine. Sharky is swimming her way to Orlando. Hoping they're there or close by now! Should be in and hunkered down before it all hits.(at least the bad winds)

Mac said she met with several tonight and they're all "grounded." The hotel has signs on the doors not to go outside. I think it's a little funny.

It's a vacation to remember that's for sure! Glad to hear from everyone as you're all in my thoughts.

Hope Marcie is still doing okay and did all the preparations she had planned.

I10 was pretty impressive to watch today going the opposite direction. I was nearly by myself going down the eastbound side.

My uncle was coming to my parents from
Jupiter Florida. He said he had to get off the turnpike at the villages due to all the wrecks.

He left at 11am for a 7.5 hour drive. At 7:45 he was in perry Florida.

The whole thing looks to decrease from here on out which is better than they expected. This morning get I got up they thought t might go to 5 and not decrease until late tomorrow.

The hotel does have signs on the door. I read it as we walked outside. Should be past us after lunch tomorrow. Had a good meet up tonight for dinner. Looks like Sunday will be the big meetup.

Blame mac. Each time shes visited FL this year a storm has hit.... I'M JUST SAYING!

I'm only kidding mac. Hope you kids have fun being grounded. Don't cause too much trouble at the hotel. I wont be there Sunday to bail you out.

Don't know how Sharky will get to Orlando as there is a ban to be on the streets

No one allowed to be out and no cars allowed on the streets

Saw on the news how empty it is on streets around the area where I am


Yes I am grounded until Saturday morning
But everyone else is too

It is after 2:24 and I am staying up until I see Matthew on tv

My luck will be we lose power when it happens


Going to try to take a video of outside my window

I'm on floor six so I should get some good views

Are you looking towards the pool towards Sapphire falls? If so you're in the best place in terms of which way the wind is blowing. Not that I think any of the windows are going to blow out or anything.... It's weakening. Now, when I thought it was going to be a 5 I was more worried.

I've seen lots of videos coming out of Bahamas... Man those poor people.

Call PC's kids and ask them lol!

 

[Bluer101]

You need to upload the video to YouTube or some hosting site.

If the video is not too long send it to me and I will do it.

Laying in bed typing this. I guess we are fine as the ac and fans are still on. Really did not sleep much last night. Hope everyone else is ok too. Will get up soon and see what's outside.
