Severe Weather thread.

It's looking to pack a good punch.

 

Let's just hope it DOESN'T make it into the Gulf and aim for Texas...

 

That would be very bad.

it goes out to sea.

 

I used to live in Florida. Never took a direct hit in the Tampa Bay area when I was there, but ANY attempt to evacuate most ANYWHERE in Florida would be a major Fuster Cluck, with the sheer number of people and cars, the small number of major highways, and the generally low elevations. I do remember Andrew...

 

Went through Bob on the cape. That was something.

 

these bitches have a mind of their own. We all know that all too well.

 

As of 7:00 this am., doesn't look too good for us. As long as it leaves Texas alone

 

Now a Cat. 5 Storm!!

 

Thats NO BUENO! That thing is gonna screw those islands up! Hopefully it slows down before hitting the main land.

 

Wish me luck here in Miami

 

Irma should hit us on Wednesday

My garage is open, so the Taco is fcked. Hurracaine Hunter has registered wind speeds up to 216mph

 

I'm supposed to go to Florida this weekend for a wedding.

 

Stay safe brotha

 

Snerkel, save me!

 

Ummm. GET OUT!!
I'm just SO GLAD that I'm no longer right on the water on Tampa Bay at an elevation of 5', but now in the hills in Kentucky at 938' above sea Level!

 

If I lived in South Florida, I wouldn't be ANY further South then Ocala this weekend!

 

It's gonna be a bad one. The damaging winds are one thing to worry about, but, the storm surge accompanying it is gonna wreck havoc.
I've had reports the shelf's are already becoming bare at the stores from folks trying to get the jump on preparations.
I moved from Orlando ten years ago because I seen how people in Louisiana were trapped during Katrina...
With FL it's either North in a car or fleeing by boat. Stay safe TW brothers.

 

Even on a good day the ocean at a real high tide is getting into neighborhoods in Miami, Good luck to you guys, stay safe.
