Looking down the line there's a remote possibility for Bermuda to be doubly-fricked by Franklin's and Idalia's outer bands.

Florida State needs to move this game to New Orleans since the aftermath will likely be a mess.

It's going to suck for people who plan to drive down for the game but otherwise Orlando appears just fine for the weekend.

Funny how it jumped up to 65mph so fast yesterday and has stopped strengthening since. Seems some shear is keeping it from wrapping around and closing off the center so far

GFS initialized Franklin at 970 mb and it’s currently at 937 mb. Pretty good swing and a miss.

It’s right on it for Idalia. GFS at 989 mb with Idalia currently at 990mb.

If he wants to fly a kite, he better get there Wed evening at the latest.

UF, on the other hand, is a 7 pernt dog, in Utah. History shows that they will use a hurricane that is passing 150 miles away to keep from getting an arse whooping. Will they travel, or make up some BS like last time?

Florida at Utah is Thursday night so I assume the Gators will leave a day earlier than planned to avoid the storm?

I know it got alot of data from the recon flights. I haven't paid attention to what it has been getting/doing with Franklin. That is a bad miss.

That industry is teetering on the edge of insolvency to where they are drastically increasing rates making insurance unaffordable.



Have not see that with Texas subsidized windstorm insurance. Yet. I'm assuming most of it is a lack of development as a percentage of coast line along with a small amount of wind storm claims the last 15 years (compared to other gulf states). I have Texas Windstorm (private policy, subsidized be the state) and it is ridiculously low considering the circumstances.

They'll use this as an excuse not to travel and lose to Utah

Only thing that scares me that if you look at the cone from Hurricane Ian last year you will see it had Ian going further North but as it gets closer too land it does a big hook into West florida. Ian was stronger but as mentioned there is plenty of time and hot water in the Gulf. Here is the intial cone and model of Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Ian Cone and Track into Gulf then Florida

ETA: I guess people didn't like the track but look at the Initial cone put out at beginning then look where Ian made landfall NHC missed pretty bad there. I hope Idalia stays north but honestly no one knows hence the nervousness of people on the west coast of florida.

Entirely different storm and an entirely different setup.

Ian had some things influencing its southern trend almost from the time of formation. Where it initially formed is what lead to the more northern track forecasts initially. We don't really have that at play with this one.

That said, this one isn't likely at all to go south of Tampa, and that makes it more of a threat to them than Ian ultimately was.
