Hurricane Irma

Not all models agree on the westward movement; but the Euro has been the most accurate model by far for Irma and for Harvey.

I've been on that site, but never see anything like what you've been posting. Which model is it you've been posting here? Tons of options and tabs.

Traffic on 231 is horrible!

Accident?

Who remembers not even knowing there was a hurricane approaching until it was a day away and you just dealt with it?

Today I learned Cman has drank beer with Ponce de Leon.

 

[JohnnieHolmesNole]

Looks like she will dissect the peninsula. Really bad.

Proof Brewing Company in Tally is giving away its purified water. Bring your own jug.

...and was around before they had modern day weather warning systems.

Will they give you water with hops & barley in it??

Starting to get real bad/uneasy feeling about this Storm if the new forecast comes out more Westward as some are saying..it will be the biggest Natural Disaster in History and when you combine that with Harvey I am sure some Insurance Companies will not be able to pay their Claims

 

[DFSNOLE]

All the models have shifted it to the west back to where they had it a day or two ago but none as far as the Euro model.

Population-wise there's nothing much right up the middle until you hit Lake Wales or so. Isn't that track better than if it was to go up either coast?

Most of the damage from Harvey was flood-related and only a small percentage of them had flood insurance. The coastal areas that were hit with wind and rain were a lot less populated and, generally, not really high value. Irma probably will tax your wind insurer of last resort.

5:07 and still no NCH update......I don't like it.

Love Proof's Mango Wit. Wicked Barley Brewing here in Jacksonville is doing the same thing. Located on Baymeadows Rd. right off San Jose Blvd.

And that's why........pucker factor raised

 

[NoleLizards]

They released it early, actually (around 4:40 or so).

My MIL informed me it would be to the east of Orlando (they live NE of Orlando) and since they are on the weak side of the storm the winds will only be 1/3 of the strong side. Apparently she is ignoring the notion of model variance/prediction and is going to pray the storm away. So y'all don't need to worry on the central and west side of the peninsula, she has you covered. I don't get the impression they are preparing much at all. <facepalm>

 

[SoddyNole]

I hope all you knuckleheads stay safe down there. You all are part of my daily work entertainment for the week and the thought of you getting blown off this flat earth would not be cool.

I would have to find others to entertain me.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Andrew compared to Irma. Welp, was nice knowin ya folks.

[NoleLizards]

The only consolation here in Tally is that we'd be on the (weaker) western side of the storm.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Well the thing is if it goes up the middle, not only the cities in the middle get smacked (orlando, ocala, gainesville, lake city), but the eastern shoreboard will get hit with harder and more devastating winds then if she actually hugged the coastline.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Yeah...that latest model can "you know what" to my "you know what".

Agreed. I don't want to have to find somewhere else to spend my workdays.

I've never been through a "legit" hurricane (got close but escaped Orlando as Charley was coming to town), but I couldn't imagine staying put for anything much stronger than what I sat through with SS Sandy. Seems like it'd be like a strong tornado, but for several hours, rather than a few minutes. That doesn't sound fun to me. Best of luck, and hopefully it veers off back into open water.

 

[goldmom]

Right up I-75. Holy schmoly.

 

[mjpwooo]

Curious how this will affect Tampa, if the western track holds. I just loaded 40 sandbags, and not sure why.

If all else fails, you can use them to build a decent fort.

Does anyone know what bars would be carrying the game in Panama City? We were going to go but I have some relatives who want to stay at my facility there and we will probably stay with them.

 

[ggmike1992]

We just got back from our cruise and drove up from Tampa today. We avoided 75 completely. Came up 19 and traffic was fairly heavy. No gas until we made it to Perry.

This western track holds got a feeling it won't be on anywhere

The crocs just cancelled their game.

This is why we need an UNlike button. Our QB desperately needs a game under his belt before facing the Fightin Richts.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

No no no.

Most of the Harvey damage was flooding, not covered by HOI. Irma will be way more of a wind event, covered by HOI, but at large deductibles.

Hate to say it but that's smart of them given they're located on the state's central evacuation route.

Whose game was cancelled too.

 

[NoleLizards]

Whose game was cancelled too.

Their new qb already has a game under his belt, however.
