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.

How about Marco Island?
man...severe studios just got their camera from Sanibel back on....its mounted on the 2nd story of a resort...and the waves over going over it...you simply cant see anything....unreal....
Those of us whose life and property depend upon accurate info do not make sweeping pronouncements about ultimate location and effects of hurricanes. Just sayin’...
everybody screaming bloody murder about Tampa didnt help...relax....
Sanibel was my favorite place in the world growing up. True paradise back then. You could walk all the way around the island and hardly meet a soul, and you got to know everyone who actually lived there, from the retired admiral to Dewey, the Seminole who raised stone crabs to Scotty who had the only store on the island (and it included a bar, lol) to the family who went all out on Halloween — they made the craziest things from woven palm fronds, including an alligator that would “attack” you on the approach to their house. Had a playmate who knew where to pick wild key limes and then we’d beg our mammas into making pies.
Went back to take a look after vacationing on North Captiva about 20 years ago. Not the same place at all, as I expected. Still, heartbreaking to know the destruction now going on.
You sound like you live in Michigan or Wisconsin. Experts in hurricanes.
I just ran across that link. They are doing a good job.
What is Jeff’s current location?
Thank you. Expecting to lose everything. But the good news is God is with us. He is my rock.
OMG, the wind so ferocious (at that link) you can barely see thru it :-\ !
Yer a laugh a minute. Bad attitude and all.
We stayed there for a few days in late March of 2021. Quite crowded, really good food at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar and Grill. Beach not as pretty as that on the Redneck Riviera, to me at least.
