Maybe. We have had a quiet couple of years here but Dorian is looking to track right over our heads.
I've lived here long enough (off and on) to know it ain't certain until the last minutes but we have 14 patients right now and more on the way this week. By the time the storm (projected) hits we will be at 18.
That's 18 people plus a few staff we have to get from here to Tennessee which is our bug out location.
We do not have a facility generator so we head to the nearest sister facility not in the storm path which is in Nashville.
I am not looking forward to this weekend. Even if it turns the stress levels go up real quick as we track these things. BLEH!

Tennessee? That a long trip, is it that far because of the patients?

The other closest facility is south of us near West Palm. Not going that way if the storm is gonna skirt the east coast of Florida/slam into Daytona. We can't just go to a hotel. No way we could find one with that much room on short notice.
 
I hope it avoids entering the gulf.
Mrs. T is undergoing a knee replacement today, so a storm hitting us next week isn't an ideal recovery event.
 
fear not

True. Even if it is 12 hours away, better than trying to stick it out without power or send people home before treatment is complete.

One of our programs had a fire late last year, and we had to move them all to another program, which was then over-filled until they could find a new building. But, as you say, it is better than sending them out too soon.
 
Not wishing any bad weather upon anyone, but if it bears just a tad west and hits Hispaniola before it develops into a hurricane, the +10,000' mountains will tear Dorian to shreds.

That's kind of what we're hoping for. Not to wish it on anyone either. It will only be Cat 1 when it's there anyway. We wouldn't even evacuate for a Cat 1.
 
Hate hurricanes, hope it misses you guys.

I just hope I can move out of Houston for good before it happens again here.

So far they are keeping it a tropical storm even with it brushing by Hispaniola. It would be great if it would continue to turn north and just slide up the Atlantic. Supposed to leave on a cruise Saturday. The more complicated thing is I'm on the emergency management team at work. A lot of these things turn and go fizzle in the ocean. Let's hope for that.
 
Latest track showing Cat 2 slamming directly into Daytona Beach with a North/South variance of a couple hundred miles. We are in full Emergency Management here at the facility. Will be making decisions by end of business tomorrow.
The good news is if we evacuate the patients we are now looking at the facility 3 hours south of us and I won't have to go. The bad news is if we lose power I have A LOT of work to do when we come back.
Keep all of your collective fingers crossed on this one. We are 3 miles as the crow flies from the ocean here at the facility and my house is about 10.
