His accounted was banned/suspended. Probably just a temporary breather from the mods.

A new update from Fox News:

Florida braces for impact as Hurricane Dorian nears

Also, let me echo others and thank you for the thread. You provide one of the best services on the forum with these.

If you are looking at HG’s home page it is spoofed to make it look like he was suspended. Been that way for years.

Here is what the navy is projecting:

Here is a pretty good cone picture.

0500 NHC update indicates a slow-down approaching FL landfall. Last night had H over Orlando on Monday. Now it is Tuesday. Makes evacuation plans painfully difficult for many.

[SkyPilot]

Yup - right towards the Magic Kingdom.

Please protect our coastlines. You can do so by sending $100.00 to AOC’s Climate Change Initiative. Do it NOW, or this hurricane could hit you.

Thanks. Well, that is just...….bizarre.

Drudge just posted this: 31% chance of Cat 4 strength by Friday. Let's hope not.

Hurricane Dorian looks like it will be hitting Florida late Sunday night. Be prepared and please follow State and Federal instructions, it will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest!

The local news here in Orlando keep saying a CAT 3 with “possibility” of reaching a 4. I believe it is because of the warm gulf stream water it will cross and it will already be a strong CAT 3 at 125 mph.

Decades ago in FL our house had an “L” shape at the back with a lot of glass facing the pool. My father had a channel cut into the concrete close to the exterior walls and another channel put in the eave above. Correlated sheet metal with top and bottom pounded flat would slide into place along the tracks and seal up the house.

Sounds like he had a great plan! In the years we were there Lowes/HD had corrugated steel panel systems you could install with steel tracks/channels. The plywood was exhausting but worthwhile for our property.
