Thanks. The Jupiter Inlet cam is no longer broadcasting...

WalMart now closing at 8 p.m.
Only 4th time in history Disney is closing Thurs & Friday
Universal Halloween Horror night also closing.

My brother and SIL are in JAX, probably very close to you. They are close to the water, but on very high ground. They’re old hands at hurricanes and well prepared. I’m not worried.

The real danger is over-hyping a storm that fails to fulfill media/government expectations.

If it ain't clowns it's hurricanes........

The MSM and its department of crisis proliferation has its hands full........

[Bogey78O]

Most areas are rated for category 3 or brief category 5.

Like the article said, one that brushed the coast at cat5 has never been seen by anyone currently alive.

Obammy was not born to stop hurricanes but to save the world from global warming, you faint of heart.

I've been watching this one, Lauderdale by the Sea.

Ow wow. Wonder how long this one will last...

[Proudcongal]

Thanks for the info. I so hope so!

The three Governors who are pleading with people to evacuate are all Republicans: Scott in Florida, Deal in Georgia, and Haley in South Carolina.
Barry does get to play the hero though when the Republican Governors ask him for federal disaster aid relief. Governor Scott has already done that.

Just a little Gallows Humor to get us through!

[Proudcongal]

Prayers for your brother and SIL. We’re off Baymeadows and Gate. Where are your brother and his wife?

[Romulus]

OK, you made me laugh. Suguh.

I found this interesting from one of the warnings.

“Residents
in high-rise buildings should be aware that the winds at the top of
a 30-story building will be, on average, about one Saffir-Simpson
category higher than the winds near the surface.”

[Boardwalk]

Shut up Mammy! Lol

[Biggirl]

God Bless and be with those in the areas, humans and animals who will be affected by this hurricane. Amen

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Scarlet still calls me a Filthy Yankee DAWG! ;)

[Romulus]

Thanks. They are just off Atlantic and Alt US1. Close to the water, but with decent elevation. We’re all from NOLA, so we know what we need to do.

[riverdawg]

So true, although I’ve heard Savannah has its temptations as well!
