exactly where it s going. i ve. through a lot of hurricanes and it s preparation, as long as you re prepared, everything is good. and that s kind of the thing i m sensing right now is people are very prepared for this. as you guys know, janice, rick, adam, our meteorologists have been talking about this and warning people for days. people feel lucky that they had time to prepare and for the most part people seem like they are. yesterday were were driving around the area, stopping at gas stations. we went to one of the places where people get their sandbags, there was literally no one there. i asked a police officer, where is everybody? they ve been here and they re gone. they are prepared and ready to go. it seems like thursday and friday were the busy days for people as far as preparations go and now it s either people who are still here deciding if they re going to leave, ride it out. but i heard griff mention earlier in the show that he feared that people were getting too comfor
a hurricane. now they re getting a forecast that would appear to be better. and that s why you had the mayor very cautiously optimistic that it would be better. but again, depending on how strong dorian remains after it pounds the bahamas in the next several hours and starts to work its way on the predicted track up north it s going to cause problems. and once you get into trouble, there s going to be flooding. you re at this high tide. jacksonville and all the way down through west palm beach is going to see an impact even if it stays offshore. and it is not time to let your guard down. people were getting their last hours of sun ansurf and enjoying the end of the summer here. but they need to get serious once we get into tuesday and certainly wednesday in this area. thanks so much, griff. we ll check back with you shortly. now to janice who is live in the
