Thanks for this info, NN. Well, darn, looks like we're in for a bit of weather, although a lot can still happen between now and Wednesday. We're all prepped here. Anyone who isn't, please get hot.

Additionally, Governor DeSantis has requested a federal pre-landfall Emergency Declaration in anticipation of impacts from the storm. This declaration will make available important resources and support, as well as free up funding sources for emergency protective measures. Under this this emergency order, members of the Florida National Guard will be activated and on standby awaiting orders.
Sarasota and Manatee Counties are both included in the list.
Tropical Depression 9 has the potential to strengthen and become a major hurricane in the coming days.
Thank you for checking in here.
Can’t believe that after spending a hurricane in san Juan I might have to go to Weeki Wachee to deal with another!
BUMP for later reading...
Thanks for the ping, FRiend.
Heads up ping. Seems like Mother Nature suddenly woke up... the hurricane season ain’t over yet.
“DNC is licking their chops, ready to pounce if anything goes wrong in Florida so they can blame DeSantis.”
That’s the truth!
BayNews9.com has live broadcast FWIW
Were you in PR for Fiona?
Hurricane Season is officially OPEN!
Looks like this one will be named Ian. A Tropical Storm rolled off of the West Africa coast today and grabbed the name Hermine.

Yes.
I was hoping there would be NO hurricane threads this season of course. Looks like Mother Nature is making up for lost time... :-(
Ouch—PR is struggling post-storm. Again. I should have checked in with you.
And of course the press isn't saying anything. Gee, I wonder why?
Just got this:
120 hr Forecast
Valid at: 2:00 PM EDT September 28, 2022
Location: 27.0 N, -82.7 W
Maximum Wind: 100 knots (115 mph)

That’s RIGHT off to the West of Sarasota (a smidgen South) heading inland on Wednesday afternoon. That puts the main force on the land side. Please batten down the HATCHES!!!
