There were some pretty bad hurricanes when we lived down there around ‘05. We stayed and our area suffered fairly minimal damage. (some people evacuated) Just a few miles north, Palm Beach got hit hard IIRC.

Stay safe down there Trad and all HORT coastal dwellers!

04 and 05 were very bad hurricane years for Florida. Eight total landfalls.

We dealt with effects from Frances and Jeanne. Got a new roof after that.

The next year, Wilma blew through (I stood in the eye for that one) and everybody else in the neighborhood got a new roof.

I am safe as I am in Iowa presently. I am just keeping track of what is happening in Marco through the media and friends there.

Yes, they do. Morning, noon, afternoon, and evening.

They are so much better looking than what we have in Cedar Rapids.

An area of disturbed weather that AccuWeather meteorologists were closely scrutinizing all week over the waters south of Mexico became the first named storm of the 2022 East Pacific hurricane season -- Agatha -- early Saturday morning. Although Agatha is a small tropical storm, forecasters expect the storm to strengthen to a hurricane as it turns toward the Mexican coast into early week.

Within six hours of being designated Tropical Depression One-E by the National Hurricane Center late Friday, Tropical Storm Agatha formed early Saturday morning amid a cluster of showers and thunderstorms in the East Pacific. Winds within the center of the storm stood at 50 mph (85 km/h) at 1 p.m. CDT Saturday, up from 40 mph (64 km/h) during the morning hours.

Forecasters say the system will remain in an environment conducive for continued strengthening up until it moves onshore in Mexico. By Sunday night, Agatha is forecast to reach Category 1 hurricane strength (maximum sustained winds of 74-95 mph, or 119-153 km/h).

Sea-surface temperatures in the area are more than sufficient for continued strengthening, and as of Saturday, the ocean water in this part of the Pacific Ocean was around 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius). At a minimum, a sea-surface temperature of 79-80 F (26-27 C) is needed for the formation and maintenance of tropical systems. In addition, wind shear in the area is very light across this part of the basin, which will also contribute to the strengthening of the storm.

AccuWeather meteorologists will be closely monitoring the leftover energy from Agatha as it crosses Mexico and enters the Bay of Campeche during the first days of June. Here, it could redevelop into the Atlantic basin's first named storm.


Don't give a shit. You chose to live there. Your problem. Couldn't care less if you got wiped off the map
 
So an average spring wind in iowa. Plus Frankie hasn't issued an alert yet so this is obviously overblown. Trad, do better my man. Give me some tomato updates.

I thought my Carolina reaper seeds from last year didn't survive in the fridge. Finally 3 months after I put them in starter pots inside they are coming up. My persimmon are sprouting too.

The National Hurricane Center issued tropical storm watches for much of Florida, including parts of Central Florida, on Thursday evening for the first potential storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Potential Tropical Cyclone One has formed near the Yucatan Peninsula, according to the National Hurricane Center. It's predicted to strengthen into a tropical storm before reaching the Florida peninsula on Saturday.

All signs point to a lot of rain across our southern areas with gusty winds to potentially tropical storm strength.

In the latest 8 p.m. advisory, the National Hurricane Center said the likelihood that the system will form into either a depression or tropical storm over the next 48 hours remains at 90%.

The potential tropical system is also becoming more defined as we head into Thursday evening, according to the NHC advisory.

The impacts of the potential tropical cyclone appear to be greatest in Osceola, Brevard and Polk counties as advisories were issued there.

WESH 2 meteorologists have designated Saturday a First Warning Weather Day because these storm impacts are likely to impact you and your family.

Forecasters expect Potential Tropical Cyclone One to become a tropical depression or tropical storm while it moves slowly northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico during the next day or two.

The latest models show the system tracking a slightly further south and with more intensity.



 
Airlines will fly into this stuff. This is nothing more than spring/fall Iowa weather.

Wilma was barely a Cat 1 storm until 12 hours before landfall.

It ended up being a borderline Cat 3/4 when it crossed over my house.

It's still too far away to declare this a "nothing" storm....

The red and gray lines have it coming directly over me on the east coast. If it's anything like the last TS we had, I'll be sitting in the back yard with the neighbor, cocktails in hand, looking around wanting a little bit more excitement than what we had.

I know the authorities tell you to get water, cash, gas, non perishable food, but first things first. Make sure the bar is stocked.
When we lived in Taiwan my folks used to throw Typhoon parties. Although that was usually for the smaller ones. A few of the larger ones took out some houses.

Looks like southern and southwest Collier County has had the most rain. So far the winds are staying under 30 mph. Will get stronger.
Not sure on how much rain in Naples. Isles of Capri has had about 5 inches. Marco Island has had a little less than 6 inches. They are expecting to double that amount.

Good, we can use it. Hopefully it just a rainmaker. One positive is that is has brought the temps down 10-15 degrees, it's a cool and breezy 75. Im not complaining.
