Havana is going to be in that nasty NE quadrant in a day or two. Yeesh.

Such an efficient process when you think about the amount of energy spread out earlier today. How it has consolidated all of it. It is always fascinating to watch a storm grow. The impacts are never good. Learning from it what we can and just standing in awe of Nature is all we can do.

This is starting to look like a pretty good job by NHC with its initial forecast. The initial Friday morning track put the fort meyers - Tampa on notice and 60 hours later especially Tampa seems very much in play for a bad week.
Folks in Florida are at least getting plenty of forewarning with this one.

Yep. I'm glad to see some consistency across models develop today. Another day with no real clarity was going to put every EMA office from the panhandle to Fort Myers in a bind.

I live in Sarasota. Very close to Ringling Museum, close to the water. Native Floridian here, born in Miami, been through this many, many times in my life. The worst I’ve ever been through was Hugo in Charleston when I was at MUSC. I’m pretty used to this after a lifetime of it, but, dang if this one doesn’t have me shaken up-especially after that last update. I’ve lurked here for a while. I’ve always been so impressed by the kindness when someone has a prayer request that I wanted to join and say hello. I hope if I ever need prayer that I can ask here. Thanks for this thread. It really has helped me in this stressful time.

The surge, not wind, is what worries me. If you’ve never been to the area from St Pete to Tamp and south to Sarasota/Lido it’s hard to imagine how much water is really there. Everything is on or near the water and not very high. Lots of structures built prior to the new codes that were adopted in the 90s and at ground level.

You will do fine. Many of us in LA rode out storms the past few years. Just prepare and do your thing. Ida was a scary bitch at my house (100 mph winds), but we managed. If you are in low lying areas prone to surge then rethink your plan. Other than that, rely on your past experiences.

Exactly. The way it floods here just from the afternoon rains is awful. Can’t imagine what this surge could bring.

Were you not around for Andrew? I grew up jax area, definitely had some church friends who went up to Charleston to avoid hugo, regretted it. Their pics of the pines that line i95 were quite memorable, or what was left of them.

Thanks! Not planning to evacuate right now, but that may change.

Here are a couple sites I saw tweeted earlier that may be of some help for some folks in these areas.
