(37,672 posts)I'm sure he'd be so grateful to get into civilization that he'd pay you back. Call him again and offer. All the stubborn, tough guys will get beaten down by this disaster, I promise you. He's got. to. go.
Clearwater will be nothing but water. The evacuees from the South are already hitting the two major arteries, by reports from Florida, and the airports are changing their flight schedules, close to cancelling them by the weekend.
Gov. Scott is a jerk, but he'd better be paid attention to this time.
I'm a native Floridian, and I'd be on the road to Alabama by now. This hurricane will dump so much water that your brother won't even be able to get out to get provisions to last the weeks he'll be out of electricity, fridge supplies, fresh water and sewer service. Does he want to be in FEMA lines?
He'd be better off not to wait if he's got family to take care of. He can always pack and unpack, but he can't live in a flooded town or home.
Good luck.
