BK, Henry, FLPacker, and others that may be in the path of this storm...
Prayers for safety for all your families.
Stay in touch and let us know you guys/gals are OK when you can.

Yeah.....this storm is nasty.
BTW....I go against the grain and name ALL hurricanes after female names.
This is hurricane Mattie
Thanks Timmy. Is the guest room clean?
Mrs Blair Kiel and me and Tyson the doggie evacuated last night and are 10-15 miles safely inland from the storm surge in a very nice hotel compliments of all those damn nights I stay at Holiday Inn Expresses. 
This might be life altering, not gonna sugar coat it. But hey, we were kind of sick of the old art and furniture anyway.
Wishing the best to all else here who will be affected.
PS.
Henry got thrown out of Florida as part of the storm preparation----something about profiling potential looters.
Bobbleheads are fending for themselves and guess what, Favre turned his back on his teammates...
Not worried about the Packer stock certificate--that can be replaced. I had to do some serious negotiating with Mrs. Blair Kiel to grab the valuable football and baseball cards especially since I didn't grab the family photos----priorities!
Praying and hoping for the best. I have 3 older sisters living in FL. St. Augustine, St. Petersburg, and Coral Gables. Not fun.
Hunker down, keep your head down, and stay as safe as you can everyone.
Where are the leather bound books? I was promised leather bound books!
I just lost $50.
Please be safe everyone and please check in when things are back to normal.
Hope everyone is OK. Sounds like a very serious situation.
We left a big bowl of silver polish for her and a buffing rag----she has our cell # too.
Hi, my wife and I was able to move about 12 miles inland. I had some trouble getting gas. My home (Folly Beach, SC) is only 3 feet above sea level on a coastal island so riding it out there was not an option. Surfers are pissed because of the evacuation order. lol. Yet there a lot of idiots in news trucks on our island.
Stay safe and secure all you fine folks out that way. I hope on your return that your home and possessions are intact with no damage or loss.
St. Augustine (20 miles South of our house) is under water at the beachfront. Houses 100's of years old in danger. Local news still showing idiots sitting in their homes.
Evacuating would be letting the hurricane win. 'Merica!

FTFY
It's been 4 hours since Blair Kiel posted.
Hope he rides it out ok.
'Murica!
Crap. I misspelled 'Murica wrong...
Edit: Oh, and yeah, I hope BK is alright.
Howdy.
Fingers crossed--we have another hour of winds that could knock out power where were staying.
In our subdivision, we have neighbors who stayed (dum dums) who are giving updates via e-mail. Lots of debris, but minor flooding and a "few" trees down--as long as one of the few trees is not on Casa de Keil, I'm good.
Authorities are saying they won't allow residents back to the beaches until at least Sunday. I still have 2.5 bottles of wine, so this is looking favorable.
I am naming the burrito that forced an evac Mathew. Normally I suggest keeping your head down in serious storms but with flooding situations obviously 'keep your head up'.
If I'm holed up in a hotel room trying to get updates from friends, family, and neighbors I'd get through 2.5 bottles of wine faster than Eddie Lacy getting through an order of sweet and sour chicken.
My secret to being a successful drunkard all these years has been moderation.
I am trapped at my brother-in-laws place and he is talking my ear off! Can hardly hear the wind.

That's ok, you spelled it like we pronounce it here in SC

That's where 2.5 bottles of wine would come in handy. Just sayn'.
I usually have a few pre-visit cocktails when I know the MIL is coming over. It is kind of like a hurricane.

I thought you drank Riunite straight from the box. 
Hope you made it through the storm without losing power.
I live 5 miles north of St. Augustine. I shuttered up my house, and I evacuated to Orlando yesterday. Good thing I did because St. Augustine got hit hard. I don't what I will be going home to.
Best of luck neighbor....me neither.
Somebody on our street posted a video driving down our street (but didn't get to my house) About every 5th home had a tree down in the yard....

You can only delay the inevitable. Boob Monkey will be mine.

Mine too
You two are the Kenny Rogers Gambler of drinking. I was more of a let it ride kind of guy.
BK, any wine left?
Hope all x4 Family and Families are safe and drying out. I blame Billy Bush
We're up in NC but still have gotten pounded by rain and 50mph wins the last 24 hours. the worst part is just passing our coast now.
at least got to see my 'Pack pound the Irish in a monsoon
hope my friends to the south are all safe, dry and with minimal damage
