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!
Tornado winds hit fast and move on, hurricane winds can last for days Not hours. We lived in Alaska for 7 years, have seen days of level 2 hurricane force winds in Anchorage. In February 2015 we were living in Wasilla and we had 40-75 mph sustained winds for 4 days straight under blue skies-craziest weather we've seen.
