Hurricane season has arrived....
- Thread starter The Tradition
- Start date
wait so now you're upset because you have a high valued home because DeSantis has made Florida THE destination state?
You survived the sucky part of the year in Florida and you're leaving just when the weather turns totally awesome?
Hoping she is gone by the time I get back. Politically Florida and Iowa cancel each other out.
Nope. Already going to vote 6 times for the blue wave in Florida. Probably via mail.
It will continue to fail because the legislature puts bandaids on problems.
So many variables. If a monster storm hits a high population area, we're talking tens of billions of dollars in damages.
But if it hits Gainesville?
Correct. Timing of the cold front moving east, strength of the storm due to land interaction or lack thereof, wind shear, etc. will all play into track and intensity.So many variables. If a monster storm hits a high population area, we're talking tens of billions of dollars in damages.
But if it hits Gainesville?
Who wouldn't? She's ISU through and through, but she likes to pound beers.
Most people are “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” type. Never really happy.
I am not as invested in hurricane watching as the Floridians of HROT, but I know enough that when they talk about 86-87 degree water temps in the Gulf that means a lot of fuel if it hits open water for a few days.
The worst-case scenario is a monster storm rolling straight into Tampa Bay. The storm surge would destroy every structure in Pinellas County.
They've already done that analysis
Hurricane Michael: What if it had hit Tampa Bay?
Hurricane Michael barely grazed the edge of the Tampa Bay area on its way to flattening the small towns of the Florida Panhandle.
Love the weather porn, but the actual track is completely unforecastable at this point. Landfall could happen anywhere from Mexico to Key West. Keep your powder dry for a couple more days.
Cuba will help but it’s not going to be a great Halloween weekend for FL...😳🎃☠️
Stocked up today on bottled water, batteries, gathered up the candles and flashlights and checked the hurricane supply box in my garage.
No, as of that last posting around 11 pm, the track was between Crystal River and Key Largo. The earlier tracks suggesting Texas, then Louisiana, then the west and central panhandle were a function of the unreliability of the GFS models. I suspect that we will have a much tighter range by noon, or early afternoon, today.

At least it won’t be churning out over the gulf for an extended period, hopefully no Rapid Intensification to bring it in as a monster.
The models on Invest 98 have shifted way east this morning. Looks like it's heading right at Trad's trailer.
I want to be in the cone on the initial model. It usually fluctuates a little.
I'm please with the current forecast. Hopefully it will he moving fast enough where ever it hits to not create to much destruction.
