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!
We're in Holly Hill, went to the closest Walmart this afternoon on Nova &Flomich, totally out of water there. I've been stocking up before this storm ever got together. I'm not too concerned, been through more tornadoes than I care to remember as well as hurricane force winds while living in Anchorage Ak +earthquakes. At least with hurricanes you can see them coming days in advance, quakes can happen Anytime No warning.
Actually they do happen, just not often. No, I was referring to growing up in North Dakota and Minnesota. When I was 5 (1965)we were living in Minot and we had a tornado bearing down on our house, literally shredded an elm tree in our backyard then miraculously changed course and jumped a block and went further East. I doubt I will ever forget that or the 7.1 quake in Anchorage in 2018, if I can survive those, everything else is easy.
