Also, please, since you're a local poster, inform the rest of us which charities to donate to.

Thank you. Right now not much on news about charities yet, other than the Red Cross, but I'll post up once we start to hear (assuming we have connectivity of some kind).

Listening to an interview with the Director of Palm Beach Animal Control who says they are getting lots of calls about people evacuating and leaving their dogs chained up outside. WTF is wrong with people? Can they not picture what's going to happen to those dogs? There are shelters and hotels that accept pets. It's not legal to leave your dog alone and chained up outside in normal weather here.

I think we all can agree there are a lot of things wrong with people. Florida is a red state, why not just shoot the dog? If you cared for it, you'd take it with you, and if you're leaving it behind, is torturing necessary?

The red cross is an old favorite of mine. Their disaster fund is a place to donate always, since most of the disasters don't fet this media coverage. The last time i donated via red cross Canada I think for Harvey, but it seems like this will be bigger since Florida has so many elderly. If you hear about a charity that will help the elderly let us know.

Shit like this should not be handled alone. Usa might be rich but everyone needs resources when something like this happens.

It's not. People show their true colors when they are tested.

Unfortunately (or fortunately!) this is very true.

I know one of those cock suckers this old POS I work with left 2 days ago to go on vacation to London. He keeps his dogs outside no matter the weather. I overheard him saying someone will be stopping by to check on them for him
He's a fucking POS!!

I've called animal control on him before about him keeping his dogs outside in 90*+ weather. West Palm Beach Animal Control gives no fucks. There is no law against leaving them outside; that is what I was told by animal control.

Yessir. Hoping for the best. If nobody hears from me after this ends it means I'm gone. Just promise me, keep the pressure to save the manuals!

My dad always told me that the measure of a human is how she/he treats those who depend on her: handicapped, elderly, prisoners, kids, pets...

That kind of sarcasm is going to end up making you a martyr. And since you had to go there, yes even us DCT guys are all going to convert to manual if you promise to stay safe.

You are it as far as I can tell. No one else has stayed down there. Keep us updated with before during and after. Looks like we may have miscalculated over here in Tampa area. I hope not.

Hell yes brother, i will preach in your name. The dct folks have rights but the real car folks seem to love fun more.

Stay safe.

Oh come on, he was pretty funny.

[F30lolz]

I'm speaking too soon but seems like the eye of the storm will be more towards the western part of FL. If that's the case Miami should be ok, however, FT Myers, Naples, etc will get hammered.

You don't deserve bacon, not with coronas.
