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!
If you live anywhere near a river get anything you can lift up to the second floor up there (if you have one... if not rent a uHaul and take it to dry land area with storage. Then get out. We got flooded out of our home by Hurricane Flo in 2018. Had 6 feet of water three days after the hurricane in our front yard. Had to leave with 5 animals by boat. It was not a fun situation.
Once your home floods you cannot use the toilet nor shower as the water table is too high and nothing flushes down. Also you cannot trust any water coming out of the tap to be safe.
