#10 just formed near the Yucatan and it's predicted to come across the Big Bend some time Wednesday. You never know what these suckers are gonna do but it looks like my place is in the eye. Summertime...
It's going to be an arm-wrestling match between high wind shear trying to tear it apart, and hottub-like conditions in the gulf feeding it spinach. As long as it scoots on across it shouldn't get too terribly strong.
I ain’t never heard of no hurricane coming ashore in the Land of Sky Blue Waters (Waters)…and there ain’t no cockroaches the size of dinner plates or 20# lizards falling out of trees or 30’ snakes that want to give you a hug, and don’t even get me started on the eight legged freaks that can lift a Volkswagen… But if there were, they’d never get through the fourteen layers of down and microfibers you need to not end up a douchecicle during the 11 months of mild winter….
Be cutting limbs around the house today. Work week is still normal schedule. The benefits of living in the FL GA crotch is that someone else normally takes the big hit and just get tree and roof damage and maybe lose power a couple day. The Gulf, Keys and SFL seem to get whacked every year.
Scheduled to fly into Tampa on Thursday afternoon from the NE. Guessing at minimum the flightpath will be routed further west over Atlanta due to the remnants of this storm still being along the Atlantic coast in the Carolinas.
Where do you live? Looks like anywhere between Cedar Key and Pensacola should likely be bracing for a direct hit.
Instead of starting a new thread every week, wouldn't it make more sense to start threads like "Florida is NOT under violent weather attack"? Those threads would only pop up once every few years, rather than weekly. Stay safe, Florida peeps
I always seem to find myself out of town when these things happen. I'll be watching what happens from Dallas, but it looks like my area is kind of out of the way now.
I have to say, first storm of the year is always kind of funny - give it another two or three and no one will even mention a category 1...
Might as well add another level of problems before the storm haha https://www.aol.com/finance/florida-officials-gas-stations-supplied-235205126.html
Another level of media caused freakout for sure but looks like it's a very limited issue at the retail end.
