Yes it is. Ol’ Trad put on a trolling clinic the past few days. He showed Ryan, Bins and WDD how it’s done. This was vintage 2005 Trad level trolling.
Yeah, you don't want to be there when the SHTF. The only reason there's a town there is because of all the canals (that will rise up with the surge).
Notice that the most powerful storms reached their lowest air pressure in Gulf of Mexico.
The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 is unique in that it reached sub-900mb air pressure while in the Atlantic.
Saw on Reddit that many gas stations up I75 are out of fuel. No idea if true or false, but makes sense.
Just another reason why we need electric vehicles, I guess?😉
My sister and BiL got here from Tampa around 2:30am. What is normally a 6 hour trip took 10.5.
Camille caused massive flooding and a number of deaths near my Uncle’s house north of Charlottsville, Va. Far inland from Mississippi.Although it didn't hit Florida, Hurricane Camille made landfall on the Gulf Coast of southern Mississippi in 1969. As you can see on the graphic, it traveled several hundred miles across the southern states and went back out to sea off the coast of Virginia and redeveloped into a tropical storm. Camille kind of set the standard for what a really bad hurricane was until the last 25 years or so. Two of my friends rode this storm at their aunt's house in southern Mississippi. This storm had a 24 foot storm surge which killed hundreds of people who failed to evacuate. I think a lot of people saw it as a party event, sadly. It was recorded as the first CAT 5 storm to hit the US, although there were very bad storms which hit Galveston, TX and the Florida Keys decades before when the rating system had not been created yet.
Now, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 did exactly what you asked. It hit south of Miami as a CAT 5, traveled across the peninsula into the Gulf, strengthened again, and caused a lot more devastation when it hit the Louisiana Coast on a second landfall.
That, as you say, was the modern standard others were measured against until, I guess, Andrew and Katrina.
Plenty of gas and no lines at the gas stations around USF. Wawa on Fletcher and a drug dealer gas station were sold out
Yes. “They” also usually accept federal aid and phone calls from the president too.
I-95 heading north from Daytona through Jax is backed up. A 20 minute trip from StAug to Jax was taking an hour. Once I-4 merges into 95 at Daytona it starts getting heavy traffic.
People on FB are urging locals and natives to revert to the old back state roads and US Highways and stay off the Interstates so newcomers can use them since that’s all they know.
Georgia has issued a notice telling evacuees where there are hotel rooms and campgrounds including the RV Parking at the Atlanta Speedway.
Son and family left St Pete beach area this morning at 5:00 for Orlando. Said driving was challenging to say the least.
Did what they could to prepare the house, but surge will determine the worst.
Does not know what to expect when they return.
Niece in Spring Hill is leaving for a friend's place in Georgis.
Another friend who lives north of Ft Meyers is staying put. Don't know what she's thinking but her choice.

In-laws owned a condo on Longboat for decades. Sold it a few years back, but we still visit the area. The island was already struggling after Helene. This one will be devastating for Anna Maria/Longboat. Not sure how they come back from this.
I have a co-worker who has a big family vacation in the same rental house on Anna Maria every year. Wonder if it'll still be there on Thursday?
Trad doesn't GAS when other people are impacted by major storms.
So, I'm not going to GAS if this one impacts him.
Migrants have been moving back and forth across North/South America for the past 20,000+ years, too.
Migrant caravans = Big NothingBurger (if we're being consistent on the topics here)
WHY WON'T BIDEN GET OUT HIS SHARPIE AND RE-DIRECT THIS!!!!????
