    Yup, they can get ugly. My neighbor lost 3 vehicles in Irma. From one tree...

    The latest has it aiming a little south of Me so We'll get the worst of it. Scary that the latest report has it at a 3 and it slowed to 10 mph over the piss warm waters. I'm feeling like we are gonna get a 5. Also, a perfect eye has now developed.

    2 weeks ago I was cruising down A1A and noticed the land crabs moving. I told my guys something was up. I've been through Francis and Jeanne and everything since. I've done everything possible to mitigate the risk, but not feeling too warm and fuzzy right now.

    Those two bitches were like Cat 2 or so but only traveled at 3mph and it seemed they would never leave.

    Quicktoy Is it Winter yet?

    And he doesn’t look to have anything to weaken him. No land. No cold water. No pressure system. This is not good. What’s weird is how the stronger it gets, the more it’s going to stay on the Eastern shore line based on the models.

    I busted my ass yesterday putting shutters up. Broward county is safe from this.

    Now they're showing no landfall and the eye walking up the coast.
    This thing is a beast.

    Edit: The recent projection puts it landing in SC on the south coast.

    I was in Houston Area for Katrina, and Ike.

    Katrina- what a F'n fiasco! All these scared people trying to leave Houston (not me) and we didn't get shit for winds from it. Rain caused flooding as always around there though. People stranded, fighting, dying on the highways trying to leave before it hit east of NO, LA.
    Now all the 'evacuees' landing in Houston when NO's dike broke- another story.

    Ike tore things up pretty good, glad we had good home insurance- had to use it, new roof, some dry wall, some wood floors, etc.. Our home never flooded, where'as some areas Always flood when big rain storms come.

    Good luck to all in Dorian's path!!

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    They went from over the state of FL to off the east coast in just two model runs. Looking more like a fish with each new run. Which is a good thing. Hopefully it doesn't do the loopty loop.

    This and the NHC are all I follow. Rest is just noise. Dr Jeff Masters' blog is good too.
