And replacement construction in FEMA flood plains will be to the latest building codes, likely well north of $170 per sq. ft.

looking at the latest euro model is it moving west to gulf?

[Jacquerie]

Same here. It isn’t just a despicable name. The guy who found WU really WAS/IS a far left Antifa-type radical.

Glad they’re considering helping the animals. But shouldn’t they be crated and taken north? If they’re in Key West, good chance they’ll all be under water.

Gov. Scity just told everyone in the Keys to get out. Can’t get any more clear than that. WTH the people in charge at Hemingway House are thinking, I have no idea. If I lived down there, I’d engage in some catnapping before bugging out.

Thank you! Very helpful.

Hmmm that’s unusual, because usually meteorologists and local news like to focus on the scare tactic. They like to keep people watching and they don’t get viewers by saying all this is not going to be a big deal just a little wind.

Meteorologists are not into scare tactics. They are busy focusing on trying to forecast the path of this monster.

This is a powerful and deadly storm and if people don't leave or prep, they will die in it.

170+ MPH winds is not just a little wind.

[longtermmemmory]

they may not be but the producers are.

if it bleeds it leads.

I would be very surprised if any motel or hotel turns away someone with a pet during a major evacuation.

< re WUnderground I refuse to click their site solely due to that despicable name.>
Same here. Factions of the WU were responsible for the Brinks shootings at the Nanuet Mall, which was one of our hangouts at the time. My dear Mom was planning on shopping there the day of the shooting. To this day, every Clarkstown, NY PO,as well as all the FBI agents and NYPD detectives involved in that case have good reason to believe Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, good friends of 0 and Mooch had some involvement. So,in a way, yeah it's personal.

Did we ask for or get any government money? No, we did not

Sorry, I should not have said "West Virginians". On second thought, I should not have made that comment at all.

Models/predictions have jogged west! Not good!

[Guenevere]

Thanks hon!

[Jane Long]

Prayers and please keep us posted on you...and your dear daughter/family!!

[Guenevere]

Thank you again!
Sure will!

[Cvengr]

My apologies. I probably was a bit snarky.

[boatbums]

Thanks! You, too.

Florida spiny lobsters. All you get is a tail. Up north? Claws, too.

Yeah, but that "tail" is the sweetest meat you'll ever eat! Especially if you can get it fresh, right out of the sea. No Maine lobster I have ever tried was better. Good friends of ours always brought back a bunch over "sportsmen holiday" that opens the season to regular people before the commercial traps are put down.

Looks like Miami FL, Jacksonville FL, Beaufort SC, Hilton Head Island SC, Charleston SC, Savannah GA, and then Charlotte NC have good reason to worry.

We moved back to Tampa from Charlotte two years ago. I'm starting to experience some "survivor's guilt".
