I'm here to stay. Got my scanners and Hams all charged up and plenty of supplies. Most of my friends in the Keys are staying also. Good Luck to everyone else who is Riding The Storm Out, REO Speedwagon. Will post here daily until internet goes out.

If you are concerned that you do not have a way to evacuate, please call our transportation hotline at 1-800-955-5504. We will get you out.

Apparently that number is incorrect. Reading down the replies, I note that this is the correct number to call:
1-800-342-3557
1-800-342-3557

I'm not sure if you guys are aware but there's a possible second Hurricane heading your way after Irma called Jose.
Stay safe folks.

Jose's not a problem. Trump's not gonna let him in.

I think you might be right KK4JUG : )
Jose is predicted to head towards Bermuda slowly according to experts so sorry folks for misreading the information.

No matter what side of the aisle you're on, that's funny.

I'm listening to the Miami Online feed, and they've been making numerous all-call announcements ordering all "Bravo" personnel to report back to the roll call location, or something like that. Can anyone confirm what they are doing? Are PD units being evacuated?
FHP moved a burn car from i75 with 2 patrol cars

MDPD and most other South Floridian LEOs are now operating on a 12-on, 12-off shift schedule, so "Bravo" units would be second shift personnel -- likely being called in early, when the tropical storm force winds are just beginning.

Lee County Area here. I've got a 136-174MHz Radio, along with 380-520Mhz. Anyone have any recommendations on frequencies to program in and monitor?
Starting to get some strong storms from the outer bands here in the Keys. Surprised my power, cable and internet are still working but probably not much longer. Outages already reported north and south of my neighborhood. This evening is when the real adventure begins with 100 or so winds for nearly 24 hours they are predicting. Good Luck to all my fellow Floridians who stayed.
You should have left, storm surge wull be the biggest issue for the keys. If leave now if I was you.

My home is 17' above sea level. It is concrete structure with steel shutters all around. Roof is probably the most vulnerable but built to withstand 150 winds. Probably 10,000 or more people stayed here in the Keys. As long as I don't take the direct Cat 5 or high 4 eye, We should be fine. The more I see the eye move west before turning north, the better we feel about it. Getting occasional strong storms now from the outer bands and can't believe my power, cable and internet is still on. Not for much longer I bet as outages are already reported north and south of me.
