IslandBillsFan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Update from FLL tarmac: We are on board. About 50% occupancy. Pilot got on the horn and said he is waiting for other gates to see if anyone wants to escape to Buffalo. I think a lot of NYC passengers who were connecting through Buffalo found another route. Earlier, while waiting for the flight I didn't see anyone from Buffalo. Later, I went to the nearest bar and found all the Buffalonians. I should've known where they were. Hopefully this takes off soon and I'll see gig at the opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig1Hunter Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Better for the group if it churns right up penisula and stays over land than bouncing of coast. Not good for you individually, but the group? Irma needs to be eaten up by land and the the cold of moving north. Straight up the gut is best for all. Not feeling the love, man. I'm not sure a direct hit on Miami is best for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flomoe Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We're staying, but not in South FL. We're between Orlando and Daytona Beach, so we'll probably get some strong stuff, but category 2 by the time it gets to central FL. I'm hoping it doesn't knock out the power here until after 4:30 on Sunday, but that's the least of my concerns. I do have ST Max, though. I'm between Orlando and Daytona also. We're hoping for the best but I saw a zoomed-in Euro model of the track and the dead center prediction has it passing about 300 yards from my house. I hope it moves.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Not feeling the love, man. I'm not sure a direct hit on Miami is best for all! Sure is vs. Whole coastline wiped out. And no. Now that we (Corps) have been putting the Everglades back (from which we drained), hopefully it goes that way. I did say "up the gut." Direct hit on Miami is a side hug. The Everglades can soften the blow, natures intended answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Update from somewhere above NC/VA: In the air and just got Wifi. So happy to be otw to Buffalo. Good luck to all in Florida and Irma's path. The plane is pretty tranquil. I would guess we are a little over 50% occupancy. At least within eyesight I am the only person with a beer. See you all at he opener. I'll be on a nice three day bender at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Tell us when/if you're safe. Let's support those in our community directly impacted. I'm evacuating to Huntsville, AL. Live in Ft. Lauderdale, house built in 1956, but got a new roof last year. Depending on the path, thinking minor damage or total loss. Wife and 5 month old are in Rochester (we were visiting family), I flew back Wed, pulled all nighter and jumped in car Thursday at 9am, made it to Orlando by 3pm and grabbed a hotel to wait out traffic (36 hours no sleep). Jumping back in car in a few and hoping at this time of day I zoom through leaving Orlando and Atlanta, and it's an easy 10 hour drive. Stay safe everyone, my love and thoughts are with you all, and let's stay connected here once we get back if anyone needs help cleaning up...go bills Best of luck man. Hope everything works out for you and everyone else who has to deal with this mess. Edited September 8, 2017 by RaoulDuke79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony P Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I know Irma is very serious stuff and am hoping that all Floridians are safe. Football takes a back seat when it comes to safety and downright survival. For any Bills fans who made it out and may have ended-up in Mobile AL, (like we did) I just spoke with a local sports bar mgr. who will put the game on for us if I let him know we're coming. If you are in Mobile and want to see the game on Sunday, please pm me and I'll give you the details. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills4everNY Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm in Palm Bay. I'll post info on what's happening here once Irma comes... as long as I have power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm in Buffalo and we don't have to worry about these things...but then people who live in places that get eradicated by Hurricanes/tornados/earthquakes/mudslides/floods, etc somehow love to make fun of our weather...little ironic, don't you think? Hope everyone is safe and they can make it out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) My dad, his wife and much of her family is in the North Naples area. Her mom can't travel so they're all staying. Hoping for the best..... Best wishes to all who are there and all who are traveling out. Edited September 9, 2017 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Friends from Sarasota are heading up to stay with us in Atlanta. My wife's co-worker came up from Tampa yesterday and what should be a 7 hour drive took 18 hours. Better than having the roof above you torn off....

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 11 AM updating has the gulf coast in the center of the eye. I have friends along the west coast and worry for them. But I'm slightly relieved my son and grandkids in Lauderdale will be spared the eye of the storm. Prayers it slips even further west to minimize damage.
