I imagine it would have to be a hell of a drone that would have to be specially built. The aircraft they currently use have been available for decades and allows for multiple experts to be on board at once.

I can believe that. There were hundreds of power guys working on the main roads when Here to Serve left GA on Saturday. If they were still working main roads that means they were still fixing the main lines and had not started working on side streets.
We stayed for a week, resupplied twice and ended up handing out 8400 meals.

looks like most of the models now have orlando on the “clean” side. The local Orlando news is telling people not to evacuate unless you are in a flood prone area.

Seems pretty irresponsible for a local weather man to give that kind of advice on TV
Why? He's right. If you're not in a high risk area then all you're doing when you evacuate is gum up the roads and take gas and hotel rooms from people who really need them. I'll never say someone shouldn't evacuate if they feel they need to evacuate. But the fact is that most people feel they "need" to evacuate because they don't want to deal with the aftermath. No power and internet, limited fuel and food sources, no air conditioning. It's uncomfortable for sure but not life threatening for most.

This was local Orlando news last night. I was surprised how close their no evacuation line was to the coast.

Agreed, kind of stressing about this one
I’m in between Jax Beach golf course and the intercoastal
I'm in. Neptune BeCh but think we'll be ok. I think the homes near the St. Johns river and all the creeks are in more danger. Especially Green Cove.

Okay guys, I just went to a show at Red Rocks and now I have to fly home tomorrow morning and get my house ready for a devastating hurricane impact.
The band was Flatland Calvary. Great show. Glad I did it even though it going to suck tomorrow.
Thanks for letting us know, we were wondering

Val even named his memoir after the quote (fairly confident the guy who said it knows what he said)

Do you know what altitude they fly at when looking at the storm?
There’s some really good YouTube, Instagram, & TikTok videos of reporters embedded with the flight crews. Didn’t realize the dropsonde(sp?) devices were parachuted out every ten minutes, interesting rabbit hole to go down. According to google, only one official HH flight has ever been lost and that was back in the 50’s, but I’m sure more white-knucklers than cared to be remembered.
Of course, as I’m responding to you I get a feed from TWC of the HHer’s video from yesterday of “what it’s like to fly through a Cat. 5”

The north side will not be the clean side, and Orlando seems to be north of the projected line.

Honestly i cant think of a better platform for a HH plane.
The new J models should keep the 130s going for a good bit longer. They are faster, more fuel efficient, and quieter. It is one hell of a versatile aircraft, especially when you consider it was first built in the 50s.

What about the North end of Atlantic Beach near Hanna Park?
Posted on 10/8/24 at 7:24 am to Ham And Glass
Getting a little nervous here in Sarasota. Made it through Ian fine, but this one has me worried. Would love to leave but as I have said in a previous post, I work at a hospital and have to be available.
Fortunately we are not in a flood zone, and Sarasota does evac levels A-E, and we are outside of all of those as we live about 7 miles from the coast. Obviously biggest concerns are roof and pool Lanai. Roof is only two years old. Thankfully we have zero tall trees in our yard, nor do anybody the neighbours around us.
Storm shutters up, got gas for the generator, plenty of food and water.
Went to Lowes yesterday morning, completely out of plywood, although fortunately they were unloading a big haul from a delivery truck. Publix had been ransacked of water of course.
Here is to hoping the storm weakens a LOT before landfall.

Not to mention it might be too late to leave now. Remember Hurricane Rita and those stuck on the roadside.

That map could be right, but here are some factors to consider:
Do you live in a mobile home or RV?
Does your neighborhood flood easily?
Is your house an older home not built to current Florida wind codes?
Do you live near the coast?
Is your elevation lower than 20 feet?
Are you not willing to stay without power, water, internet, and cell service for a few days if not weeks?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, evacuate.
But where do I go? Depending on your area, there maybe local county shelters to evacuate to lessening the burden on the interstate system. These shelters should be in sturdy buildings away from the coast and high enough from any surge potential. If you are evacuating to another area, get to know local roads that can keep you moving while the interstates are clogged.

What is the dirty side? I thought it was front right quadrant relative to storm track direction?
