Have you replaced your ignition switch?
Sounds like it’s bad.

Yes, sounds like a failed ign switch. A fairly easy fix if you can get the part.

If it were my car I would probably attach the tow hook, get a tow strap, and pull her to safety with another car or truck. Once secure you can spend your time battening down the hatches and bracing for impact. The latest forecast indicates a large cat 4 but they are expecting it to turn north and graze FL maybe 100 mi offshore instead of a direct hit. Good news for Palm Beach folks.
