This storm has all the makings of an Ida. Florida needs to prepare for a major hurricane. When she gets in the gulf, I think the chances of rapid intensification are more probable than not.

The silver lining is this storm should be moving at a decent clip and won’t be crawling at landfall like Ida was.

People wishing for a “small” storm to hit Louisiana so we can get some rain are absolutely insane.


We need a couple calm years for insurance and mental health alone. It’s gonna rain again, we don’t need it to come from a hurricane.

Would all the additional revenue local business gained be sent to the businesses in Gaines that lost revenue?


Under the common sense approach we would have just swapped the locations of the 2016 and 2017 games. The Gainesville businesses would have made up the revenue then.

Yeah, I doubt anyone is going to actually want this one before its all said and done either.

It has a lot of potential to ramp up fast late Monday thru landfall. Going to catch a good outflow channel, should be able to knock away the little bit of PV in front and keep low to maybe moderate shear over it.

While questions remain, I think the case for this getting to a major is pretty compelling.

That graphic isn't even a hurricane. You'd probably be ok, but I definitely understand not wanting to risk intensification.

Don't care.

I mean I get that Beauregard/Vernon need rain for the fires, but even a non Hurricane dumping a few days of rain on us would flood tons of areas us b/c of our soil being so dry.

So this thing walked back down the coast of the Yucatan as it was forming? And that’s going to give it even more time to crank up before it hits? That can’t be good.
Everything yesterday was pointing to a TS or low 1 near Cedar Key. Now it looks like a shitty week for Tallahassee.

The big thing is it never went inland over the Yucatan which was predicted by the models a few days ago

We got seven flights into 10 today.

I think this is a low level but there will be an upper level flight at some point today.

Also I blame it on being the "I" storm why it never went inland over the Yucatan.

Fair to say the models continue to slide west and trend towards a major hurricane?

You don’t remember Isidore.

She ran aground on the Yucatán and stayed there for 30 hours in 2002 and then came straight up to Louisiana like a migratory bird as a Tropical Storm. It dumped a ton of rain. And then the very next week Lili came a knocking. I was in college at the time. Both storms hit on a Wednesday/Thursday timeframe.

For Lili all I can remember was driving back from New Orleans and seeing traffic backed up on US 90 from 310 to the Des Allemands overpass.

It is the reason why they added the light for westbound 90 traffic to get onto 310.

Seems like the tracks always slide east. If I was Tampa or Orlando, I’d be praying for it to get there quick, before it really gets going. Like Capt. Ramius turning into the torpedo before it has time to arm!

No, they have shifted slightly east
