The late-blooming 2022 Atlantic Tropical Storm season is making up for lost time. A tropical system has developed in the Central Caribbean Sea. This storm system is forecast to threaten continental U.S. interests next week. While the tropical wave passed south of a key geographic area known as Hebert's Box #1, it will very likely pass through Hebert's Box #2. These boxes are useful as predictors of hurricanes that will strike South Florida. For more information about Hebert's Boxes, see Hebert Box. See graphic below which illustrated the Hebert's Boxes.

Some idiot has their dog on the pier
6 live camera views. And PPL are in the ocean. (St Pete is mismarked - its actually Ft Myers)

Saw that.
Thanks. The last cam on Sanibel went down a little bit ago. Amazing this one is still up. Crazy people playing in the surf, I see.
Damn...
Yeah if it will move on out that will be great.
As we discussed early on in this storm it appeared that there was not much in the atmosphere to keep this from going to a five which it likely is now.
They can’t get away with calling all these fours @155 over and over when they know a five is 157,does not pass the smell test.
Jesus help them.
Hardly any private insurance left in the state. Most of this tab will be the state, paying for people to live on the beach.
Amen
I saw this on storm2k.org:
A recent dropsonde into the western semi-circle of #Ian’s eyewall has generally confirmed these 166 kt (190 mph) winds measured by the TDR earlier this morningWow. https://t.co/daMWZWRXDn pic.twitter.com/rMCCIehCvf

Condominium is a great book and it was only a matter of time before the fiction became reality.
“Hardly any private insurance left in the state. Most of this tab will be the state, paying for people to live on the beach.”
Wrong. Where do you live? I have relatives in Panama City and I live in Tampa Bay Area.
Everyone I know has an insurance carrier from a company.
I LOVED my meteorology class. It was an elective, and my degree wasn’t meteorology, but I was fascinated.
Andrew in 1992 baffled the experts. The worst damage wasn’t in the right front quadrant, but rather in the southwest of the storm! They STILL haven’t figured it out. They think downdrafts and/or intense mesovortices caused the extreme total destruction at Naranja. Also, mesovortices have been seen crossing the eye, meaning the eye may not always be calm.
So much left to learn about these mysterious forces of nature.

We’re on Bayshore Blvd in Tampa & #HurricaneIan has sucked some water out of the bay @abcactionnews
I hope she evacuated. Let us know how it goes.
Wow, and it’s going to get worse very soon.
A lot of homeowners in HOA’s down here self insure - meaning the HOA rebuilds the home (or condo, townhome) and you are responsible for the inside (drywall, appliances, flooring, etc.).
To insure the insides (if you’re between the ocean and intracoastal like me), you have to go through the state.
The problem is that isn’t a good value. When I stopped paying up, it was nearly $3,500/year.
Also, billionaires on Palm Beach and Jupiter Island (like the late, great Rush) don’t buy insurance. It’s cheaper over time to self-insure.
That’s another handy link. Thank you.
Thank you.
