It's still a few days out and things can change but this storm is looking really really bad, I live in Florida and now the models are pointing towards it just slamming the whole state, Carolina's are on the possible list as well.
Category 4 is pretty likely and category 5 is possible. Stay safe every one and start getting supplies ahead of time, even if it's not a sure thing it will hit you.
If the current trend continues, I'm likely dipping out of Florida, I live in Brevard county, Florida about 500 feet from the beach.
-
what??
another one?
It MIGHT,, be hype to sell ya'll bottled water and canned goods though.. hahahaha, weather stations and food shop in it together.
Tp4 haz the 3x generators, ready to stay online.

Just don't run your generators in the house..... it may sound pretty ****ing straight forward but people still **** it up and gas themselves/families to death.

yea, was on a camping trip once, it started to rain, so cars had to line up to pack into the parking lot for the camp site. There was a mother and child who fell asleep in their car with the engine running.. and they died..
I wonder if new cars have a sensor for this sort of thing.

Stay safe SFL :(

Conspiracy theory::
Air tree recently bought a grocery store, and he is trying to unload his bottled water and canned products before the storm..

Looks like only category 4.. so that's not as bad as the 5.. but yea... get that boat ready if you're in the flood zone.

Not looking forward to this years hurricane season for the East Coast.

I actually enjoy doing prepper stuff this time of year..
Just took out the generators out the garage this morning to test them.. works good.. got my 12awg extension cables ready..
But I don't have a boat.. can't afford it.. sigh........

Hrrrrmmmmm if it hits all them islands Before florida, looks like it'll slow down since it's cat 5 now, and projected to become cat 4, so ya'll pr0lly gonna be fine..

Unless it hits Cuba, it's unlikely to slow down too much, even more so with the 30C-33C water that it has to strengthen, still as a cat 4 it can and will cause a lot of damage.
-
Upgraded to Cat 5 last I saw. Wherever it makes landfall, it's gonna be ugly.
-
I wouldn't stop at moving north, go west too. Some projections have it going up to SC. If what IATTFT is saying is anything to go by, you want to have been out yesterday and filled up your tanks last week. I know it was a nightmare trying to fill up two days before Matthew hit last year, so if you've not done it yet you're too late.
-
Now is a good time to figure out which gas stations still have gas. You know
-
Got supplies, shutters are up, gas tank is full, got plastic bags for my favorite keyboards.
Going to be hunkering down.

Good call on canned veggies
meat won't be any good to you in the apocalypse, because if you eat that stuff absent modern medical care and medication, you die at age 50

i got the opener that just cuts the side of the can, instead of the top.. works real good, until you come up against a non-standard can.. and you can't open it. hahahahahah

why do they keep cutting to the scene with a boat w/ leds on top..
-
What's weird is, youtube works way more stable in chrome than firefox..
I guess google prioritize their own browser in optimizations...

can these people run generators in their high rise apartments ?
I guess if they made an air duct, or an active air inlet, it should be fine.

Too much liability and it's just ****ing dangerous

Why is the utube irma stream so low bit-rate.. there's only ~4000 people watching.
Hrrm.. i guess maybe low bitrate conserves stream stability over time..
-
Man all the kids must be going crazy, no skoool.. !!
do they have internet at these shelters?
Even if they did, prolly wouldn't support so many concurrent users without professional gear..
Then there's gonna be a Tp4 among them, Torrenting on that bandwidth.. .. hhahahahaahhaa

Powers flickered a few times so far already. Looks like we are not going to have it quite as bad as everyone was thinking here in WPB, but it's still going to suck tomorrow.
I feel for the West coast of FL. Vesper lives in Tampa.

I don't go all hardcore prepper. Just the normal **** like food that can last, Sterno cooking fuel, Ton of water, flashlights, batteries, I'm sure there is more that I'm not thinking of right now, but you get the point.

No, not a mandatory evacuation zone. Most of those folks live right next to the beach, inter coastal, or in flood prone low lying sections.
I live about 7 miles from the beach.

He was on just the other day for the first time in a while. I'm pretty sure he still lives there.

Not too bad here so far, but it's supposed to possibly get worse.
Power keeps going on and off, and tornado warnings every 15 minutes.

Categories are black and white for scientific reasons, it was only 1mph short of being a cat 3 when people started saying it was downgraded
Categories are also based only on wind, not storm surge, which is what usually kills.
It's like them talking about all the tornadoes... Those tiny tornadoes were slower that the storm just a couple hours behind.

Had a few minor power hits so far but this storm didn't strike central Florida directly like Francis did. Stay safe folks.
-
sooooooohhh..
Everyone back online ?

well, the storm did jack **** to me. power was off for around 4 hours then it came back. no damage anywhere.
