Tampa Jay, you CTG, and Bella are in my thoughts and prayers. Your vlog was heartfelt and I’m sure all your followers appreciate your honesty about dealing with this terrible situation regarding the hurricane. I’m so glad you all went to Splorin Ryan’s home. What a wonderful blessing he and his family provided. I subscribed to his channel, he showed he has integrity. So glad you’re all awesome and have wonderful friends. God bless you all and keep you safe! 🙏🕊😇

We are also hunkering down Tampa Jay. Just did our final grocery store run and thankfully found water at Lowes! Im just outside of Tampa. So we didnt evacuate. We got this and we will all be ok!❤🙏

Good Luck to you all, any natural disaster is bad anywhere, your awesome couple 💑.

While everyone is trying to get out, I’m trying to get in for a cruise Oct 3 out of Port Canaveral. Ft. Lauderdale is my only for sure entry. Riding with friends up to Orlando. Praying everyone and Bella stays safe. 💕

There’s nothing better in this world than each other, your pets and great friends - stay safe everyone ❤️

Nice to have friends like that! Stay safe you guys! My niece just moved to Tampa. She is a nurse so she will be at Tampa General riding the storm out.

🙏🙏 prayers for you and Chris The Girl our thoughts and prayers from Ohio are with ya 🙏

I live in Southside St Petersburg and we evacuated to Wesley Chapel for a few days in fear of the storm surge. Stay safe guys!

My thoughts and prayers to all of you, stay safe. That's so nice of Ryan & his family to help you guys out, he seems like a really great guy too. Good luck & prayers to everyone in Florida.

Hello Jay, glad to see you were able to get gas. Some stations are out of gas and diesel. Watch out for the Interstate traffic jams, everyone trying to Evacuate the area at the same time can cause additional issues/concerns. We live in Venice FL. and have done all we can do to prepare for IAN. Find a safe location to travel to and wait out the storm, You and Cris safe travels my friend! Both of you take care of yourselves.

Glad you have such a good friend offering you a place to stay. Be safe my friend.

What a stressful day you and CTG had. And then poor Bella. She new something was up. My heart hurt watching you and CTG packing things and seeing CTG tear up. And How nice to have such a great friend like Splorin Ryan and his family to open his home in your time of need. Hope you get some needed rest and also CTG. Praying for all to be safe and you have a home to go back to. My 1/2 sister lives in Bonita Springs and they were leaving but then decided to stay. 😢

I'm glad Ryan is letting you stay with him. It's good to be safe than sorry. Poor Bella, she seems scared. Please give her some love. Florida is nice but, I don't think I could make it through the hurricanes there. I'd rather deal with the snow ❄. At least you don't have to evaluate.

I've been watching this morning around 8:30am. Hope ya'll are ok today. God bless you all. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!

Prayed for you guys today 🙏. The Sun will shine again ☀️.

You both are in our thoughts and prayers. Hope you all stay safe. Hopefully the storm doesn't hit too hard. We will keep you in our thoughts up here in Tennessee.

I'm so glad you and cris the girl is safe and sound Tampa Jay be safe

So glad Cris, Bella and you are safe with friends. Thinking about you guys and praying it slows very soon! Stay safe! You will get through it together with much more ahead!

Stay safe both of you I pray you return to find minimal effects from this storm.

best of luck to you and all Floridians --my son and his family live in North Port so they're in the line of fire too --lets hope it's not as bad as it appears

I am praying for all of you in Florida!!

Know that you are loved as well my friend.

Stay safe Jay and Cris! Prayers for everyone in Florida!

Glad to know you guys are good so far. Been worried about you.. Cris little Bella and Adam the Woo.. you guys take it easy. Please stay safe. Thoughts and best wishes to you all!

Jay & Chris the girl, I watch this video of you folks. Today was light my Christmas angel & pray. We know it is not your first rodeo. but it is still pretty scary. Bless you both & your dear friends to help you both. Good people always find their good friends in times when needed. Others don't give you the time of day. One day at a time. Safe travel. Glad you are together in this event.

Greetings from Germany! Stay Safe Everyone!

Hey Jay, glad to see you guys got out and are safe. I've been doing a lot of praying for all of you in Florida, especially the Gulf side because I have a lot of people in that area(family and friends--including you and Cris even though I haven't met you yet. 🙂). Hopefully Ian will be gone very soon and things will be back to normal with no loss of life and little damage. Stay safe and don't worry. A big thank you to Splorin Ryan for taking you in. We all need people like that in our lives. God bless you! Love you guys! ❤

Thoughts are with you 3 from Maine.

Glad you guys are safe. Watching a live broadcast of Gov. Desantis now, speaking on the matter.

I'm and hour half from Tampa stay safe guys hope you come back to a normal apartment

Praying for you and Cris. Take care!

I can see where you guys went through as I frequent Haines City a lot. I'll be hunkering down in Winter Haven with my wife. Good luck and stay safe!

Stay safe Jay and Cris! Hope everyone stays safe!
