Official Hurricane Season Thread (Swings and Roundabouts))

hurricanes and bad cold fronts always at night

 

Spoiler

disney delayed bc of the dont say gay stuff, and honestly I dont think they'll ever go through with it now

 

Some of us called this on Friday but the haters who rely on science didn’t wanna hear it.

 

Latest update is even worse. Slightly more east.

 

So another eastern shift? Fun.

 

East and faster

 

Man, Alabama going to get mashed

Spoiler

sorry if joke has already been made

 

Sounds like you're near my old stomping grounds. Childhood home was on 15 and graduated from St Cloud HS. How long have you lived out there? Like it?

 

Well this is not ideal

 

I know you aren’t supposed to focus on the line, but man we are getting really close to it being south of the mouth of Tampa bay and avoiding storm surge. A few miles could make the difference between catastrophic flooding and none.

 

Ellipsis brewing pretty solid over there

 

I honestly enjoy it. Bought down here just to get more house for the money and not be in Orlando-proper.

Just a few mins from lake Nona but the school traffic and just overall congestion is making it unbearable. Working from home isn’t for me so I like going into the office but it’s starting to drag. as much as St. Cloud thinks they’re a small town, they aren’t anymore. One of the fastest growing cities in FL and the roads can’t handle it.

 

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. It's cliche but it's really incredible how much that area has changed in the last decade. Used to play Eagle Creek frequently and it was the only show in town.

Housing is definitely outstripping infrastructure down that way. 15 used to be a nice, relaxing drive, I would almost always use cruise control.

 

You’re getting out right? There are projections of 10’ storm surge my dude.

 

I’m out in Colorado, my Dad works for the county and is working at the emergency center from tomorrow till Thursday at least. He’s in Sarasota, my brother is east of the interstate, my sister in Parrish. This is the first time I haven’t been home for an actual storm and I’m stressing. It looks like it will hit north of there right?

 

50 mi N/S of tampa is a roll of the dice right now it looks like

 

My mom just sold her condo in Tarpon last week and moved up here. Said she will miss Florida but glad she doesn’t have to worry about this any more. I’m like you’ve seen the movie twister right?

 

Weather channel sucks. Dude I’m a rain coat and hood up saying storm of the century. Just chill

 

Also, fuck the tornados that come with this on the north east

 

That was me a few years back when a storm hit Naples. All I can say is try to stay positive and not get caught up in the sensationalism you see on tv and social media.

 

Weirdly I wish I was with my sister and her family. My nephew is on the spectrum and is obsessed with wind, wish I was there to spend that time with him. Typing this makes me realize I need to visit, fuck, sorry brehs. I hope everyone stays safe.

 

and here's the euro model

 

Are the crabs leaving the lake yet?

 

We love 4:59AM emergency alerts on our phones for a storm 24 hours out don't we folks? Holy adrenaline... guess I'm up. Suppose I'll go to Walmart at 6 to beat any crowds for last minute supplies

 

Hurricane bros: I’ve got a friend who lives on the water in punta gorda. He says he’s staying as of now (with a toddler). Is he stupid? Can I call him stupid?

 

Depends where he lives re flood zones. I live 20 minutes south of there and nobody is leaving.

 

Link won't work. Latest GFS falling in line with euro and icon.

My parents live in Seminole and that thin line looks to go directly over their house. They’re not in a mandatory evacuation zone so their going to ride it out.

 

Center of the eye goes directly over my house at the top of the bay.

 

Ooof that’s bad.

 

Pretty good one. Gotta do this

 

Added to the to do list.

 

Yup. One of those things I’d be so damn annoyed to buy

 

I’m in your boat about 24 hours later looks like

 

Brought the patio furniture inside which has lead to my wife vacuuming it because it's "to buggy" (it's not) at 630 in the morning.

 

Bring your cars inside next #lifehack

 

Well… guess one good thing is coming from this. No school traffic on this fine Tuesday

 

One hurricane my Mom had to assist at a shelter. When she came home my Dad’s harley was parked in the living room. Forget which hurricane this was but they barely got hit.

 

Hell yeah, that's living

 

My cousin lives on the water in Bradenton my sister is in a mandatory Evacuation szone in tampa (upper level apt). Neither are leaving

 

Holy shit the entire town of punta gorda is under a 9ft+ surge warning
