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.

If you click on Bing news you get all those answers such as Katie Couric diagnosed with Breast Cancer and what hospital in Arkansas got shot up this morning.

We had a small tornado rip through the mooring field here in Vero Beach early this morning. Damaged some canvas, and, knocked some folk’s boats over. I heard it, but, we had some protection from the winds.

The rain is about gone, but, the winds are picking up.

Gonna be a rocky few days.

My ancient nearsighted eyeball places the eye center 1.35 nautical miles offshore, on track for landfall a bit north of halfway up Captiva Island, within the next 30 minutes.

Feel free to look at other non-hurricane related threads. https://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index

Many FReepers and their families are in real harm’s way. This thread is for those people.

[FamiliarFace]

Thanks! Godspeed to you and yours!

Naples.... water is up to and over car roofs.

Adjust your meds. Peoples houses and livelihoods are being destroyed.

The NBC Fort Myers livestream got knocked off the air.

Thats how I feel about California. Except it wasn’t hurricanes, but political stupidity, that changed it.

I am sick of all the coverage on TV of the Florida storm— “The Mother of All Storms” with reporters in the rain and wind, roofs coming off, trees down, palm trees being whipped by the wind. Its all the same. My Questions are: What is Trump doing in Mira-a-Lago? Is he moving out? Will he ride out the storm? What about Disney World in Orlando? What about that rocket they were to launch at the Cape? How hard did this storm hit Cuba? Its just Ron DiSantis, Florida, and the wind and rain—FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS! Other things are happening in the world—we are about to engage Russia in a war that could slip into a world wide conflagration but all that is on TV is a guy in the rain telling us its windy and raining.

Then leave the thread. NO ONE is forcing you to be here.
Many of us care about what is going on right now.

“He and his crew have better coverage that TWC.”

I agree.

Naples, Bonita Springs, and Ft Meyers suffering the worst right now.

Best wishes for safe passage through the storm. People so often focus on the eyewall, and forget the tornadic risk in the NE quadrant outside the eyewall.

Yet you felt the need to chime in on a thread that is mostly informational and instructive - meant to help Freepers and Freepers' friends and family that may wind up in a bad way because of the storm. Hmmmm...

I take it you've never been through a severe hurricane before, or you wouldn't make that post. Here's an old Freeper idea that might benefit you - "Turn it off!" "Cut the cable", "Etc."

Problem solved.

Fort Myers is staying pretty much in the eye wall for at least two hours, I think that’s unprecedented.

[Rusty0604]

Tell me about it. I grew up in California once beautiful bay area.

[Fireone]

Fire & Rescue crews have been evacuated from Sanibel Island.

[EBH]

Yeah... Ft. Myers is taking a bad hit. Catastrophic.

My sister is in North Port and told me wind’s were 111 mph when I talked to her half hour ago.
