Sunny SoFla

Yup! And same. Have lived in FL a few years now but haven’t been through a storm yet and no idea what I should prepare for while I’m away. 

Depending on how the models trend and if we are in "the cone", I will probably bring things inside and pack my freezer with ice blocks to try to save some of the food if we lose power. I was without power for 8 days after Wilma. Not fun!! 

If things look really bad with the storm though, I may have to consider cancelling. I wouldn't feel right leaving my elderly mom here alone to weather a hurricane while I go on vacation.
Hoping it doesn't come to that though!

Looking at the weather models and looks like a strong possibility of gulf side hurricane developing next week. 
 

we are set to sail out of Ft Lauderdale on western Caribbean route. 
 

Any ideas what we might expect if this storm does develop?

Are you on the 9/25 Allure? If so, I'm in the same boat as you. (pun intended). I would not be surprised if they have to change the itinerary for this one. That doesn't bother me. But as a resident of South Florida, I'm more concerned with what I would be coming home to if the area gets hit by a major hurricane.
