For years, I've heard from professionals that you need to pay attention if you're in the cone and not to focus just on the center line.
The cone has been meaningless since 2000 when they started letting them move it.

My FEMA buddy says Cat 1-2 and I have the texts to back it up.
The F stands for Federal, which means whatever he says is wrong. Either a thunderstorm or cat 6 incoming

Eh, get to sleep thru them for the most part. House doesn't get hot before you can set up the generator the next day.
Only "good" part about daytime hurricanes is watching shite blow away
i woulnd't be able to sleep during a hurricane. At least not true hurricane force winds.
Give me a noonish for a storm. Still time in the morning to do stuff last minute. Then some daylight to clean up but not too much for it to get hot.

I don't even really look at the cones anymore, beyond general reference to trends. I find they do more harm than good for the average person.
I tend to look more at wind arrival time maps:
With an eye on 50kt and hurricane speed probability maps:

So, -5 hours from zulu.

Check the travel board .. CuseTiger is typically posting about airlines and waivers and whatnot.
Can you change your flight to Houston and drive to Houston tomorrow to avoid traveling in crap weather?
