I am a current Florida resident. I have had to prepare for Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, Dorian last year, and now Isaias currently.

I respect Isiah's talent. To me, the best hurricane of all-time is Hurricane Johnson, and right behind him is Hurricane Isiah. No matter how much I hate Hurricane Isiah, I respect its game

Have you noticed fewer bugs this year? I rented a car in Orlando last summer and drove to Miami. Based on the look of the car when I arrived, I’m fairly confident I took out a good percentage.

My most recent rolling 13 month YoY analysis indicated a favorable variance in the increase of overall bug population in central and south Florida.

I won't bother asking why you decided to drive almost 200 miles from Orlando to Miami, that will be for another time.

Also, don't ever get off at Yeehaw Junction... unless you are heading straight west to Tampa or straight east to Vero Beach.

🤔 I’m a born and raised Floridian, have lived here my whole life, and Isaias is a Category 1... Floridians barely consider that a hurricane lol. This is a weird post

likefunny

I live in FL and this storm is nothing. What are you “preparing”??? The west side of the storm will interact with FL. Floridians know that the east side of hurricanes is the strong side, so we will be fine. Also, most of the rain from this particular hurricane is also on its East/southeast side...

Great weather and no state tax. Lots of New England, NY, NJ, and Maryland individuals love to establish a Florida residency to get out of paying their respective sky high state taxes and enjoy the weather come winter.

There is a trade off, dealing with the patchy crime, drug dealing, and overall Florida morons that Twitter gets to post about.

With all that said...... you do you.

Are you taking advantage of low crowds to go to DisneyWorld?

Lucky everyone for dodging the bullet known as Dorian.

Although Irma in 2017 was dodging the bigger bullet... at one point, Irma was projected to hit Miami straight on as a CAT 5 and head north just off the east coast equally as powerful... destroying everything in it's path.

A bigger bullet dodged, indeed.

like

Ehhh, Isaias will probably be one of the lesser storms to worry about this hurricane season

Correct, but it snuck up from being a tropical storm well off the coast to a CAT1, potential CAT2 that may make a direct hit in south/central Florida.

In that case, things may get a bit interesting along the coast.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
