I was recently sent a new license plate, along with my vehicle registration renewal, as a result of the 10 year replacement rule.  I know if I sell my car I have to return the old plate to the DMV, but if my old plate is replaced because it’s older than 10 years do I still need to send it back or can I just destroy it?  Thank you.

So I am driving from central florida to tampa next week, I plan to leave from central fl around 4-4:30 am and I want to know how busy will the interstate be around this time. I usually take the back roads but around this time it's too dark especially on the one way roads. I hate and am scared to drive on the interstate because of the height and fast driving, but I'm thinking this still might be the best option.

So I just want to know how busy it will be. TIA.

I’ve been breaking the news to my family and friends that I’ve decided to leave Florida. I expected people to ask why, but the other native Floridians have almost universally agreed with my reasoning and said they also want to leave. The reasons are usually something like:

• Heat/humidity is unrelenting.
• Hurricanes. I used to not care about them until I became a homeowner. I can deal with some hurricanes, but it seems like we’re a very likely target for just about every storm that happens.
• Car and home insurance. Need I say more.
• Cost of living/home prices. The only people who can afford a decent life are the legions of recent arrivals who work remote jobs with higher salaries in NYC (or wherever)
• It’s seriously so fucking hot. Jesus Christ how am I sweating while getting the mail in October? The heat makes going outside to do fun stuff a no-go for ~7 months of the year

Anyway, I was wondering if this is a widespread sentiment? The recent transplants I’ve spoken to seem more resolute on staying here.

More people would evacuate for hurricane Morgoth then they will for hurricane Milton. Would there have been fewer deaths for hurricane Hellhammer them for Helene? We don't even have to ditch the feminine names, when Hildegard or Hydra are on the rampage folks are getting out of the way and lives are being saved. Helene sounds like the cool hippy mom your friend had in high school. Just my 2c.

It’s called empathy guys! Imagine your home and lives are on the line and people decide google doesn’t work when you can ask the residents if your vacation will be ok. We do not care about how much money you will lose. We do not predict the weather or magically have the power to predict your flight. Please reconsider posting. Thank you!

I have a setup similar to this https://www.bbqguys.com/i/3104354/charbroil/medallion-series-4-piece-modular-outdoor-kitchen-5-burner-island

Not that exact configuration though. It's outside under a covered patio, not screened in. At what wind speeds would I need to bring it inside?

Any recommendations for a battery powered or rechargeable preferably tower fan that would be good for like a one bedroom apartment ahead of this hurricane? Thanks!
