Hurricane season has arrived....

Wobble and “dry air eye” update from the NHC
As #Helene continues to approach the coast, please do not get overly focused on short-term wobbles in its track, "false" eye locations, or on specific computer model simulations.
EVERYONE along the Florida Big Bend coast is at risk of potentially catastrophic storm surge and damaging hurricane-force winds later this evening, and life-threatening storm surge is already increasing along the west coast of Florida.

Can’t believe people are still crossing it. Wouldn’t get me near it for a million dollars.
It should have already been closed. 😳
They have issued a wind advisory for central Indiana tomorrow afternoon and evening. They said we could get gusts of 60+mph. Should make for some interesting high school football games tomorrow night. Helene's impact is going to reach areas where hurricanes seldom have that kind of effect.
Yeah, you gamble with you life crossing it on a normal day. These people are fvcking nuts.
Shit, it’s picking up speed at an alarming rate. Big Bend is gonna get smacked hard.
So if the storm's forward movement is 20 mph, and the winds are blowing at 120 mph, that means it'll be 140 mph if you're on the east side near the core.
One or both of us should feel insulted.

[Thursday] Hurricane Helene on Final Approach to Florida; Extreme Impacts Expected in Some Areas
I won’t go near that bridge on a clear calm day.
Yeah, they close it during non hurricane high wind events. Very surprised it was open for so long.
Be safe my Florida peeps. Hoping it's not nearly as bad as it looks.
Florida State University residence hall students remaining on campus will shelter-in-place during Helene inside the university’s Augustus B. Turnbull Conference Center, which was upgraded to withstand extreme conditions.
University staff assisted students in relocating from the residence halls to the conference center between 10 a.m. and 12 noon before weather conditions are expected to deteriorate in the Tallahassee area. The conference center facility includes hurricane shutters and debris curtains on windows and well as emergency generators large enough to power air handler units in the facility.

Ok. According to the Weather Channel the eye is north of Sanibel and Fort Myers.

Florida man who moved after Hurricane Ian is now in path of Helene
By Brian Lada, Meteorologist and Senior Content EditorSep. 26, 2024 10:37 AM EDT
As Floridians frantically filled sandbags on Wednesday, Storm Chaser Mike Scantlin met Tyler Shore, who was in a unique situation. In 2022, Shore lived in Fort Myers, Florida, which was ground zero for Hurricane Ian. After the storm, Shore decided to move to Tallahassee, which is now directly in the path of Hurricane Helene.
“We had a tornado here in May,” Shore recalled. “Just to see how much a tornado can do in such little time, I’m really scared to image what a [sic] Category 3 plus hurricane can do here.” Shore added that his biggest fear is all of the trees amid winds over 100 mph, and he is planning to evacuate to a safer area before the worst of Helene arrives.
If his intention of moving was to avoid Hurricanes….well, that is very Florida man of him lol.
