I’ve been trying to do that since Tony Romo won Super Bowl MVP. Hmm, oh wait.

Nervous about my car which is sitting outside at my grandparents house in Haines City. Im back on the west coast, safe and sound.

Anyone in the area please post details as the weather worsens. I likely wont be back for another week or so...

I double checked that my GEICO policy will cover damage from the storm. It should according to what Ive read.

Ive been hoping it's completely untouched or gets completely creamed/flipped over/totaled. Anything in between will just be another major headache that I don't want to deal with.

Guess I shouldn't have left the key fob sitting on top of rear tire under wheel well. Im certain that will be blown off and destroyed. There was no talk of hurricane when I left!

Also, this would be my first storm with impact windows installed. I had it done after Irma hit.

I feel smug and super nervous at the same time. It's a weird feeling

I am in downtown Miami, it will be a mandatory evacuation zone... however; I am willing to bet this thing will turn North and nothing will happen in Mia. In the meantime, I have a one way ticket out of here tomorrow...

Amazing the technology today to see/forecast tropical cyclones. Satellites weren’t readily available prior to 1970 for weather observation.....that’s only 50 years ago!

Much less computer modeling for tropical storms....

http://www.hurricanescience.org/scie...modelshistory/

“Increases in computer resources during the 1960’s and 1970’s lead to advancements in dynamical hurricane models. In 1976, the first dynamical hurricane forecast model that could treat the atmosphere as multiple vertical layers (known as a baroclinic model) instead of just one single layer (known as a barotropic model) became operational. Before the 1990’s, only regional dynamical models had high enough resolution to make accurate track forecasts. In the early 1990’s, however, the resolution of global dynamical models had increased to the point that they could also provide accurate track forecasts. The development of modern hurricane forecast models that can provide accurate intensity forecasts also came during the 1990’s, with the introduction of SHIFOR, SHIPS, and the GFDL model. Even so, hurricane intensity forecasting remains a major challenge.”

Yep, models now have it turning north before making landfall. Looks like Florida is going to get lucky...

Florida isn’t the only one getting lucky.

If I behave today, I’ll get some

But seriously happy that it seems we’ll be spared. Hoping that the storm shifts more NE and onto the Atlantic avoiding Cam Newton.

The storm is turning north, and I assume that any cruise (except to the Bahamas) out of Miami is going south away from the storm.

Cruise lines are extremely hesitant to cancel cruises for financial reasons, so they will disembark outgoing passengers and embark incoming passengers as long as the ports are open and harbor pilots are working. Part of the terms of carriage in the passenger ticket contract lets them substitute ports for any reason, so 3-4 day cruises to the Bahamas may find themselves going to St. Thomas, Haiti, and/or Key West if port dock/tender slots are available.

I was on a cruise out of NYC in January one year. The crew had the barf bags in all stairways and public areas as we boarded, and the captain made an announcement before we even left the pier that we would be sailing into a strong nor'easter with (near-hurricane) 65-70 MPH winds and 28 foot seas within two hours of leaving the harbor in case anyone wanted off.

I actually sailed on this very ship a few years before these pictures were taken:

Oof. Cat 5 as it goes into the Bahamas.

Projections have shifted back to possible Florida landfall.

On the news just now

What's most purchased before a big storm in Merica, per Walmart analytics #1 is bottled water, 2nd/3rd and 4th place is strawberry poptarts (sells 7x's more than other flavors) beer and batteries

who doesn't like a strawberry fake pastry when it's raining 18" with some warm Budweiser

We don't get storms up here but we do have a emergency box filled with mre's medical supplies, batteries, battery packs, board games/ playing cards

Mandatory evacuations ordered starting today for coastal Georgia east of I-95, as well as in South Carolina. Personally, I think that SC is evacuating too early, given an anticipated Thursday/Friday storm arrival to that area.....
