I work in local gov in SOFL. I get all the emergency management stuff in my in box. We used to get qualifying data for storms. Info such as atmospheric moisture content, sea surface temps, etc. along with the information for tropical storms. All of the sudden that stopped with this latest storm Idalia. We don’t get that information and are simply supposed to believe that “rapid intensification” is going to occur over the next 24 hours due to the “record high” sea surface temps, which appear to me to be exactly what they were last year. Also, if you look at those sea surface temp anomaly maps, they stopped including any data after 2010, seems weird to leave the last 12-13 years of temp data out, right? Kind of like they are manipulating the numbers?

Tides at my location are projected to be close to but not exceeding 4 ft --perfectly normal for full moon side of the cycle.
Someone was driving thru the little neighborhood in the back close to the water that was primarily retirees in mobile homes with a bullhorn saying they should evacuate, and should they choose to do so, they MAY be able to get help blah blah blah. These types of neighborhoods have been targeted in our area for redevelopment [and the city managers want a smart city], because the rich people can't stand seeing coastal property wasted on us commoners when it could be filling their pockets like other overly developed coastal areas. Fact is that owners are low to mid income and don't want to sell. Sound familiar?
