I don't know anyone that could loan me that kind of money. The past storms have set people back enough trying to keep their houses dry and together. I've heard horror stories about FEMA denying truly needy people and sending checks to those who didn't really need it so I'm a bit nervous, but even if I knew they would reimburse me I'd need the money now.. and I can't get thru to them anyway..
It's times like these I flat out hate my inability to manage money.
I'm not close to my dad in any way but he is in my care and if anything happened to him I don't know what I'd do...
Volusia Co. EOC gave me special needs shelter in our area but as I mentioned he needs a very sturdy bed...I'm not worried about damage to the house or anything, God has His hand over our house as was proven during and but no power is just too much...

I'd have to actually get him to the special needs shelter which I can't do in my truck. He's had several strokes and his left side is pretty useless for moving and my truck is way too high for him to get in (he's over 350lbs). Then I doubt any shelter would have a bed he could use given his size.
Called emergency number and no one has any idea about who has generators, FEMA just says high call volume and disc the call. Strike on red cross as well.
I'm not sure if this will be of any help to you, but perhaps it will. I just called Home Depot in Savannah, GA, and they have generators in stock. Here's their phone number: 1-912-921-0158. It would be a bit of a drive for you, but they are in stock.

I found this website and it looks like they will come to pick you up and possibly they will have a proper bed. Get in touch with them!!!!!

My husband just suggested to call Hospice and see if they can help. They are a great group and I bet they will find a solution.

Just a notch south of the previous recon (only 3 minutes).... for all practical purposes due west.... also looks to be getting better organized on the IR loops.... also looks to be increasing in speed just a tad... I'd estimate around 13-14 mph

Anyone ever use http://www.nwhhc.com/ They seem to be on track lately (the last couple of storms). They do not agree with the official track.
That track is unreal !!!!!!!! It literally plays pong off of Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Those are Florida's 3 most populated cities. That would be an absolute disaster like no other.

Thanks all,
Brian found out he can get the handicapped enabled car so all is well.
For others in Central Florida - the cheapest utter guys had was $1200 but they are there. FEMA reimbursed me but I bought it AFTER Charlie.

I did thank you! And I have great news. No one tells me anything...my sister convinced my stepmom to leave the car at her place and she took my stepmom to the airport. It's all worked out I'll pick the car up tomorrow and make the huge move over to her place and get him setup. I didn't call her initially because I know she'd offer to loan the money and but she's going thru a lot right now (divorce, newborn etc...) and I didn't want to burden her. I just with someone had told me about that change in plans.
I can't thank y'all enough for your help. I will call and buy a generator after the storm this time tho. I swore I would after the last 2 but that fell thru. Thank you guys so much!
Mr. U nice talking and thanx again for the number. Hospice..hadn't thought of that thank you and that link will be saved just in case...you guys are amazing and now I'm going to donate again

Which track? The one I posted? That is from their 5 PM update.
Thanks...that can't be good...how accurate have they been with past canes this year vs. ?
They were pretty close on the storms I tracked this year, just about dead on I believe.

For Jeanne not to make a direct hit on Florida... stranger things have happen in the past, and storms always have a surprise or two prior to landfall, but after the last recon, and watching this thing slowly pick up speed, intensity, and continue to head on that due west motion, it will take a miracle for Florida to dodge this one... just a question of where .... I still like the space coast (KSC/Titusville area) as where the eye may go inland... but it keeps picking up speed and going due west, areas south will definitely be under the gun...

Yes that Mia/Tampa/Jax track would be scary, but not "a disaster like no other".. don't forget those winds will dissipate considerably once on shore.. High winds to be sure, but not devastation to 3 cities. The winds in Tampa barely reached 40 mph from by the time it got there from the east coast. Not trying to minimize the situation, but trying to dampen the hyperbole a bit.
