Crap, just when i have to leave town for a week :banghead:

Oh great Rich, it's coming right to our door!

 

[Rich Z]

Yeah. Latest forecast shows landfall around here about 2pm on Wednesday. Of course, things can change dramatically with these long term forecasts..... Wonder where my chainsaw is?

 

[zzzona]

Not looking good for us folks on the west coast..or if you are in the Panhandle...:nonod:

 

[85vette]

Really, and if it veers to the west a bit, we'll get flooding again like we did with Dennis.

 

[Rich Z]

Yeah. The worst damage is usually for those areas to the east of the center of a hurricane when it comes up the Gulf. In this case, the entire west coast of the state should keep an eye on this one.

If that forcast track holds true, and we all know how that track will flop flop from day to day, we would get some strong winds and maybe 6"+ of rain out of it.
I am on the gulf in Pasco county, we had over 24" of Rain in July alone, and so far about 4.5" this month, so it could be a record wet summer for where i live.

We should know more about the track of the storm Sunday night.

 

[Rich Z]

Yeah, looks like the forecast has it swinging further east now.....

 

[CHASZ51]

If that track stays east of my home then we get winds blowing from the northeast and no where near the rainfall we would get if the storm tracks west of my place.

If the garage falls on top of my car, Im gonna kick mother natures ass. Ill be soooo pissed!

I dont think itll get higher than a Cat 1, but none the less, I hope everyone has thier supplies ready.

 

[Rich Z]

A category 1 is nothing to take lightly. Connie and I were in Daytona Beach when Charlie blew straight through there. I believe the center went right over top of us. On the twelfth floor of a hotel, you could feel the entire building rocking in the wind and the glass doors bowing in from the winds. Knocked the power out all over the place, and LOTS of car damage from blowing debris.

I'm thinking if it gets bad enough my lovely wife Carrie will have to don her Kermit the frog suit and go to work while I stay home and protect the ice and beer supply, damn the luck but ya know somebody's got to do it (protect the beer I mean). Anyone care to head to mid state area? Shadow? (got Rum) .Ray, Rob Mary?:thumbsup::thankyou2::icon_cheers:

 

[ynkedad]

Party @ kaps...

..for some reason this pic reminds me of you kap.

Ken, if we have to didi, I'm packing the rum and margarita mix and heading your way:rofl1:

I've been here all my 51 years, Haven't been too far off many times (only takes one though).

Was right on target with Charlie and the others that blew through central Florida as well as some others.

Take a look at the SWAG map, aka: the spagetti models:rofl1:

My prediction....the red line......

Think I'll stay where I'm at for a while

But keep your supplies at hand and be ready to bunker down! 85 mph winds (and the potential for tornadoes) is nothing to take lightly!:NoNo:

 

[Rich Z]

Looks like some of the squiggles changed quite a bit on the spaghetti map.. Looks like the storm is afraid of snakes and staying away from my neck of the woods..... :hehehe:
