Yes, this is a Q Win. But we are family and now a lot of Florida pedes are facing a potentially dangerous storm. Some are new Floridians and have no idea of how evacuations work here or may need other help from us experienced Floridians.
So I thought we could do a check-in post here and we can move to another Win to support each other, if needed. I lost my old home at Weather Underground when they got bought by Weather Channel so it would be nice to have a bunch of y’all to chat with.
Right now, TropicalTidbits.com is the best online site outside of the National Hurricane Center. Levi has been hurricane forecasting for many years and is excellent. You can see the Euro and GFS models there also.
So if you are a Floridian and are facing the roller coaster of the next five days, go ahead and say hi!
Don’t underestimate the possibility that this is a HAARP derived storm as they are real. Michael which destroyed Tyndall and Mexico Beach 3 years ago was A small, super intense cat 5 in the same path as Opal I’m ‘95. If the models start to show It headed toward the panhandle, GTFO. I was there days after it happened helping out and I’ve never seen destruction like that. 19’ storm surge on the coast.

Still a little far out IMO. Once it enters the Gulf it can hit anywhere from Galveston to Tampa.
I look forward to seeing how the track is in a couple days.
Here's a recent spaghetti map for everybody.

I've been using this site for years to do an insta-spot check on storm paths (real and forecast}.
