This looks like it will be more of a flooding storm than a wind storm. I'm not sure why it's not strengthening more, which is good. But it's moving so slow that it's going to dump torrential rains.
That's what I'm thinking too.
My brother lives in Fort Myers. I called him this morning. He's been thru worse ones than this.
But he's still bringing in the lawn furniture. He's gonna wait a few more hours before he decides whether he's gonna board up or not.
He's got plenty of food, water, a generator and a pistol. He's as ready as one, I guess.
I got the west side of my house shuttered, the side we'll get winds from here in So Dade. Can't decide whether to do any more of them or not, no one else in the neighborhood is taking this very seriesly. Wife went to the grocery store to get some extra water, candy and a few things, reported that it wasn't very crowded. Same for Home Depot, forget why she went there.
I'm guardedly optimistic.
Doesn't 6MPH mean this TS has stalled?
