Really, stupid music videos? I thought you cared about those suffering, but yeah music videos will help. Really, virtue signaling on a sportsman forum? I thought you cared about those suffering, but yeah virtue signaling will help. (the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.) Wut? And why is your last statement in parenthetical?

Hey David - prayers for you guys! Hang on ! Thank you! Looks like mid to late day tomorrow, it seemed to tick a little north on its track. We just might get lucky being on the south side of it. We can't leave now. When/if we lose power, its going to be Lord knows how long till they fix it. I'm just repeating myself. We have giant cat generators on the island, but they will be worthless if the lines come down.I got plenty of cash, but if there is no food to buy, that won't help. I stocked up on food. But we may not have power for weeks. I'm just rambling. My plan is to ride it out, then reassess Friday morning. Do a lot of praying tomorrow . I played this game with hurricane Charley, spent two days prepping my house in Tampa, only to see it take an early right turn into Charlotte Harbor. 15-20 miles can make a huge difference in who gets slaughtered and who gets spared. I told you guys I live for these storms, like some sicko thrill junkie. Bad part is a lot of people somewhere close by will have their lives changed, and not in a good way. Thanks for the good vibes brother.

It would be a good thing if you have a sat phone or inreach texting device to stay in contact with your friends and family. Stay safe my friend. That might be our biggest problem, once power goes, we have no communication. No land lines here, cell towers will not work. I've got a VHF, but without power it will be useless. Thanks for the well wishes.

David, +4 elevation is the scariest part about your key. Wind is often survivable but most people die in hurricanes from drowning. Be safe my brother. Thank you brother. As I've said, we will likely be on the south side, so it may actually suck water away from us at first and then spare us the surge. Looks like that's the track as of now.

View AttachmentBelize at this point looks to be out of the cone. Hopefully it stays that way. Yes sir, that shift north was lucky. I live in the far north of Belize, but I agree, we may be out of it, or at least the worst of it.

Hurricane Hattie in 1961 was a rough one for BZ. Yep, I of course wasn't here, but I know it basically flattened the place, including the capital. For that reason, they moved the capital about 50-60 miles inland.

Don't forget the Beer is gonna be hot before too long... Riders Of The Storm Not a beer guy, we may skirt the damage, but no doubt we are losing power. We lose power very frequently, even on pretty days. I've got rum, but the ice thing is going to be a problem.

Thank you ALL for your kind words and thoughts. I did not answer everyone, but I feel the love.
We've got today and part of tomorrow to wait. Lot of others in Jamaica, Cayman, etc are taking some of it, and certainly Cancun, playa del carmen will get smashed. I have a lot of friends in Playa.
Thank you all, again.

You're a big boy....this isn't your first storm, and it won't be your last. You know the risks. No one is more qualified than you to make decisions for yourself. Do what you think is best and live with the results.
