TWO!?
Yeah, we're pretty near the water and we're not getting any winds at all. Our subdivision is high so we're not in an ABC evac zone, but we're at the tip of the peninsula, so if we're not getting weather, I know he's not either.
I know that before a hurricane in the 80s that Shell Key used to be attached to St Pete Beach.
Nice Christian mercy there .... quit being stupid. There are Freepers in the MIDDLE of this thing.
Todd's cell phone aint working any more, for a second there I thought I was listening to the Phil Hendrie show!
Howlin: Was this Port Charlotte area evacuated or is the landing of the hurricane such a surprise that it didn't happen?
Oh, brother. I remember you. You're the idiot who made fun of people making preparations for ANOTHER hurricane one time.
If you're this annoying in cyberspace, I can only IMAGINE what you're like if real life.

FWIW, there's a decent chance enough of a weak El Nino may form that Late Sept. and October could be less active than usual.
Stay safe.
Definitely darker than it's been all day. And it's only started to rain in the last hour. So we might get some weather from the bands.
I don't think it can hit the Jersey Shore as a significant hurricane - a hurricane has to approach from the SE to score a solid hit there, and this one will be coming from the SSW - which means it will either have to move inland first or pass just off the coast.
That's why North Carolina gets hit so often - it juts out into the prevailing storm tracks.
My brother is in Mandarin (Jacksonville area), Guennie and he's staying put, but he's farther in than your daughter in St. Augustine.
Todd should have driven due NE and followed the eye, it was his only chance..
Nope, the area has been under Hurricane Watches and Warnings for more than the standard warning time, and the evacuation orders were given.
That would be a good thing. But by then anyway, things are going less active, except a brief spike in October.
We have a wayyyy-behind subcontractor in Melbourne. I can't help thinking they're secretly hoping....
