    1-866-966-7226 is the Fl price gouging hotline. Don’t let these low lifes get a way with it!

    It’s economics 101, supply and demand. Since everyone drained the tanks outside the normal delivery schedule and extra tankers had to bring more, the cost goes up. Big business doesn’t have petty on “possible” disaster areas. If we were hit by the storm and declared a national disaster area and then businesses raised prices, that is against the law. I would raise the prices too, because nothing has happened and people are lining up to stock pile.

    Gas prices in cantonment have definitely gone up. I watched the raceway in cantonment raise prices three times!!! And as they went up the others did as well.

    The Raceway in Cantonment jacking up their price on a gallon of gas by 13 cents. They did this after Gee Willies ran out of gas. This was on friday. As of this morning Gee Willies and Tom Thumb have kept their prices the same. When this is all over I will remember which stores were fair and which ones took advantage.

    Watching the weather channel and am being told over and over that “there are high wind gust in Key West— some as high as 35 mph” So much for the weather channel. Better info on NorthEscambia–thanks as always William.

    Sandbags??? I understand “get your own”, however, Twin Oaks Subdivision has only recently become a “flood zone”. Please, no sarcasam, I am only interested in productive feedback. Wouldn’t be a prob but my husband is working out of town and I am a “disabled vet” and don’t see making sandbags all that likely in addition to other necessary prep and current physical ability. Thank-you.

    I’ve been checking on this most of the morning and looking at different websites.

    There is the current model showing it is going in between Ms and Al shown above. Yet there are 4 models showing it going in at New Orleans, or just to the west side of New Orleans.

    Weather services still have no idea how it is going to move once it hits the gulf, or where it will make landfall.

    REGARDING:
    “why must these hurricanes always come during the night ”

    Dennis came through in the daytime. I remember watching some of my pecan trees sway all the way to the ground it seemed and thinking, “I’m gonna miss that tree.” (Still have that tree, so far anyway.)

    David for tough trees

    Why oh why must these hurricanes always come during the night when it’s so dark outside and you can’t see a thing!

    Thanks for keeping the updates coming northescambia.com
