HURRICANE Idalia tracking thread
Me | 8/29/2023 | GeorgiaDawg32

Posted on 08/29/2023 5:23:03 AM PDT by GeorgiaDawg32

This is for accurate up to the minute tracking information on Hurricane Idalia.

Right now, and I'm still trying to verify this, the latest tracking info has the storm rolling in over Cedar Key, Fl tonight and tomorrow.

Since I'm in Chiefland, 25 miles or so from Cedar Key, in a 5th wheel, I'm vitally interested in where this storm is actually headed.

In looking for info, I find stuff that references Monday, and even this past Sunday.

I understand that the track shifted West yesterday a little but can find nothing to confirm that.

My initial plan was to head north but that may change to Southeast dependent on the projected landfall area.

Any help is appreciated.

It only needs to hold up for a year as we’re selling it as soon as we finish building a house at our rural compound. 😉

Unless you are right on the coast, I would vote to hang tough and ride it out.

If the storm causes damage, looters will show up and I am not prepared to allow that to happen at my house.

Don’t forget the 48 loaves of bread and jelly to go with it, unless you are old school and eat peanut butter with a big spoon.

In March, I bought 2 single family rentals in Jacksonville. I live in Colorado. Last night, I discovered that my phone is automatically registered to the hurricane tracking center / energency alerts through the insurance agency. Should be interesting...

Head NW and find a place to stay for a few days. Power outages
will be significant I'd assume within a 100 mile or so range from
the eye of the storm. It can take time to get it all back into full
operation. Make sure you have necessities like food/gasoline/meds
to last a few days.

And finish by drinking milk from the container

Don’t spend too long, or you will be stuck on clogged highways for hours.

Have a look at this and get going! You are in the 10-15 foot storm surge area and the forecast keeps getting worse:

Plus winds of 110kt +

Just go already!

Ida is will be a monster when she hits.
