Hurricane Milton

Hope all my people here in Florida are going to be safe. As we see, it is coming for those of us who are around the west central area. Hope we all come outta this safe. We just have to remember that things can be replaced but people can’t. Maybe after all this, us Floridians can trade some cuts to keep the gardens going.
Stay safe and Florida strong.

Hope it hits south of the Bay and keeps dying down like it is. A 3 is a lot different than a 4 or 5. Hopefully everyone has planned accordingly and is inland if they’re not sure their house is safe. Don’t make more work for emergency responders and all of them. Part of living along the coast in Florida. Always shocking how unprepared people are for something they have a week to prepare for. That area is extremely ill suited for a storm. Decades and decades of poor/no planning in regards to development. You have your one trauma center and biggest hospital built on an island surrounded by water and so on, but developers need free rein and regulations are pointless. Haha. Fingers crossed everyone and their animals get themselves safe and this thing keeps dying down while heading south.

it’s actually close, if not worse than a simulation run of the worst possible hurricane

I’m watching the news now and the Tampa mayor is saying get out of dodge. It’s like you said things are replaceable, but people aren’t! Please do what you have to, to stay safe!

I am expecting to either have the eye of the storm go over me or it will be a very close miss.

Get a little generator and small fridge or freezer if you’re doing long term storage. Could also rig up a car battery to power something temporarily. Might need
multiple batteries though for that. Seeds are just seeds anyways. Most will never get to a large majority of the ones in their collections and there will always be more seeds they want.

I hear you on the seeds. I know it sounds crazy but I too think about my (very small) seed collection. I have 2 DJ Short Blueberry and 1 Sugar Belts about 33 days into flower.
I have a handful Dj short and Dutch Passion blueberry clones I will try and save. They will go into the window for a while. Hope all our gardens and seeds make it through this.

I’m not going to deal with what you all will from this, but I’m stoked it timed out where I have no plants going or drying right now. After the actual concerns of safety of life of people and animals, safety of homes, and so on, I sure hope all of you with plants going in that area don’t lose power for extended periods of time. I hate when that happens. Super buzzkill. But, if you and everyone you know make it through the storm fine and the worst thing is losing some plants, I’d say that’s a win. Haha.
