I'm pretty much in the same boat with everybody else here. when to leave?? I've got a job, bills and a new house I just can't walk away from yet and i'm just thinking about the millions and nillions of people trying to head up 95 or 75 to get out of FL, if and when things start to get crazy..

I agree with Danny, the financial crisis is going to hit us first. I too am saving food and I bought a short wave radio. Many different sources are predicting civil unrest. I can't leave town either, at least not yet, but I am thinking about looking for land in NC as a place to go to if need be. But if they call martial law we won't be able to travel. There are so many variables to consider when making plans. Can we really be prepared for all possibilities?

unfortunatly that money stuff does hinder the leave your life behind idea but when it is time i think the sensitive ones will get that feeling before the masses. ive also seen thanksgiving traffic enough times to have a few off the beaten path routes out of state so thats where the ready for anything comes in. with everything that will happen i do think just being somewhat mentally prepared and calm will be the best prep. possible.and we cant forget were discussing this now when the masses are wondering whats next on tv so i know well be ok.

I am not in Florida yet, but I am considering the St. Pete-Bradenton-Sarasota area for relocation due to the weather (I like warmth and sun) and due to the opportunities there for my short-term plans in career and education.
If I end up there, it would be great to have some like-minded contacts in the area. In the meantime, I am curious to hear from locals about the vibe down there. Just a few weeks ago, I went there for the first time in 20 years. I was a youngster then so this past trip seemed almost like my first time. It isn't my first choice of places to live, but it does seem like a good option in the lower 48 given my wishes for climate and cost of living. Peace. |

i am possibly relocating to palm coast about 30 min from daytona cause my parents are pushing 90 and i have a grandchild and i see them to be so vulnerable especially cause they are clueless and want not to get clued in.
might sound funny but my ancestors want me to be here with my family cause i have a sustainable community in the works at the african village in south carolina and it feels so strange to leave it to come here where i'm sort of isolated and dont really see my family doing anything to get prepared and whatever i say about possible future scenarios is lookes upon as conspiracy theory instead of conspiract theorem / reality / fact. so i'm really glad to have been guided to this site to rach out to anyone like fairangel who lives in this area (my fam owns a house in ormond beach). may we start communicating and networking to the end of creating a gorund crew in our area? |

Hi everyone, I'm Kimmie. I just joined Project Avalon!! This is great to find ya'll. We live about an hour or so south of Tampa and about 2.5 hours from Miami.
I just read through all the posts on this FLORIDA Forum. There were 19 of ya'll I make 20. That's a great start for a network of people caring for the welfare of us all as a unit....don't you agree?? There are 6 of us here on the west coast just a short drive from each other. My husband and I drive up to Venice to attend a Church run by a metaphysical group. The reverend is the one who told me I am a starseed . They are a church full of "Like-minded" people. Their services are on Thurs and Sunday evenings. That would be a great place for us to plan a Meetup. We could meet at a nearby restaurant for a visit and a bite to eat, then attend the service. They give readings for everyone in attendence at each service, and are accurate. We are about 45 min south of there. My husband is just learning what I have been studing, and is with us on the need to be prepared. He's a delivery driver(CDL) for a roofing company, and as a 2nd job does roofing repairs. He's the old fashioned work ethic kind of man-works sun up to sun down, and he's very calm, never looses his cool under pressure. He's a good guy to have around, expecially in a crisis. I'm a designer, (Fashion design/ Costumes) also have industrial sewing machines that can do canvas work (I use them to upholster Boat Cushions). I keep an on-going garden, fresh herbs, vegi's, and actively compost all kitchen scraps. Big into recycling, caring for others, and volunteer often. I work from home so I have time for research, networking, have strong organizing abilities, and am motivated to see this network succeed to the betterment and safety to us all. I'm so thankful to have found you today!! What a blessing. I'm pleased to be of service, and will be on this site daily!! See ya'll soon...lets make some plans. Kimmie |
