Limited goods in supermarket, little fuel at petrol stations
Hurricane Irma is now battering Cuba, it's due to reach Havana tomorrow, and then on to the American state of Florida - where there have been big traffic jams as around six million residents try to escape.
It's already devastated several islands in the Caribbean - the storm has killed 20 people so far.
Manx Radio has been following the movements of the Fielder family: Russ, his Manx wife Kim, and their children; 16 year-old Matthew and 11 year-old Daniel.
They've moved from Douglas, Isle of Man, to North Naples in the Sunshine State only a month ago - Kim's mother, Vickie Price, is there too.
The family has now evacuated to a safer location up north.
Russ says they have everything they need, but the supermarket shelves are bare:
