That sort of reminds me of Katrina warning that was given.
So scary.

I would think that a whole lot of people have moved to Florida since then. Many may actually not have a clue what to expect.
Yes many do but some just don’t get it. Yet.

Similar to Laura's warning, too.

Not a storm chaser but we will be attempting to somehow drive through to Orlando Friday night through Saturday.
I'm sure it will be next to impossible but we will try
Brother, if you haven’t already left with at least 70 or 80 gallons of gas extra in tow, I’m not sure you’re doing this trip. No matter how much you don’t want to lose the money or the trip, and I understand both, there’s just some things that supersede money, and this has to be one.
If you can get there, will you be able to get back? There’s a chance you won’t. I just wouldn’t take the chance, but that’s me. God bless and be careful if y’all try for it.

This thing is goin to be hurricane strength all the way up to mid AL/GA.
This storm also has an eerily similar feel to Hurricane Opal (1995)...one of the most fascinating hurricanes in my lifetime from a forward speed and inland effect perspective. Opal blew up overnight from a borderline Cat 1/Cat 2 to a high end Cat 4 (150 mph) storm the following morning. I remember Cantore sounding the alarm that morning for Pensacola Beach as well as far inland over the entire eastern half of Alabama/western Georgia all the way to the Tennessee line of very strong winds.
Thankfully Opal weakened down significantly to a strong Cat 3 (about 125 mph) at landfall but some of what it gave up in intensity wad negated by an insane increase in forward speed with it moving about 30 to 40 mph landfall near Navarre Beach and traveling inland on a line from Troy, AL to near Anniston, AL to Chattanooga, TN. It was moving so fast inland it nearly made it to I-20 in Anniston as a minimal hurricane before being downgraded to a TS. The core of that hurricane was a buzz saw affecting a swath all the way up to from where it made landfall all the way from the coast to the Chattanooga area.
The projected path and forward speed of Helene has a similar feel to Opal just shifted about 100 miles further east

She has reminded me of K for a while now.. just feels like one of those storms that will always be remembered.. the conditions are perfect ahead of her.. the models all say rapid intensification, she avoided both the yucatán and Cuba.. it’s playing out like a nightmare scenario for anyone in the path..
Mother Nature is fascinating and scary at the same time.

The Karens who run the school boards have cancelled school around ATL for tomorrow, when the hurricane is still in the gulf of Mexico, not projected to touch ATL until Friday afternoon.

Family and I lived in Broward county when Andrew hit. I was home for summer break from UGA. We didn’t evacuate. Our neighbor who played for the Dolphins came over to help my dad tape down the back side of our home which was all glass. Mean SOB. Most powerful hurricane to hit US since 1969. Florida prepared better than any state could. But it was traumatic

large major hurricane moving quickly. It’s going to be impressive how widespread the impacts are with this one.
It will likely be a nail in the coffin for some insurance companies

Michael and Idalia in recent years went through the area and already cleared out the deadwood, and it's the least populated area of Florida, and Georgia where it will quickly enter still at hurricane force. There will be impacts for sure, I'm not diminishing that, but it's not going to bankrupt any insurance companies.

Would be surprised if any of those new Florida insurers that depopulated their Citizens program will be around after this.

Nail in coffin for insurance companies from Texas all the way to Fla
My insurance co called me before Francine to make sure I was insured enough due to appreciation to home

This is a bad plan. Go early and get a hotel room until check in if you can’t cancel. If you get into trouble you’re diverting resources from people who really need it.
Avoid I-10. Assuming he is coming from Louisiana, go to I-20 take it all the way to Atlanta then go down 75 to Macon then 16 to Savannah then 95 to Jacksonville. Go down east side of Florida and come across to Orlando.
Much longer drive but you’ll avoid getting stranded and the risk of unpassable highways. You’ll still cross the damage path but it’ll be much farther north and less likely to impede your drive

Oak trees and pine trees are some of the worst
My parents have a solid oak tree in their front yard. We guess that it’s probably about 200 years old or so. Made it through Audrey, Rita, and Laura. Probably whatever other big storm since 1824 given how big this thing is (twss).
But they did lose all their water oaks u. Laura last go round. Pine trees were twisted all arou d us. Awful.

Which one of you Tallahassee baws just stood behind Cantore’s live shot waving a big Trump flag?
