Not sure if they are still out there, but years ago there were tall roadway signs along Hwy 41 demonstrating how high 15ft surge is. Those were very frightening signs.
As the years have piled up on me, snow/ice storms and a 30° x 150' driveway have become my personal 'hurricanes'.
Gotta keep it cleared tho so the ambulance can get up it to haul my carcass away ;-)
Hugs to you, FRiend and grateful prayers for all in the path.
Off to look and see if your screen name is aviation related or feline ;)
either way is good with me!
Heavenly Father, please hear our prayers.

Re screen name, long story but it’s a contraction of names from waaaaay back :-)
I hope that model is wrong, too.
I have a brother-in-law who lives down in Plant City. I’m not sure if that’s in the evacuation zone or not. Does anybody who lives down there know if it is?
Thank you, tomkat. The price we pay for living in paradise.
Incredible screenshot, of our lovely little blue planet. I always envied our astronauts view of our world, warm smile.
Hi Tatt,you in Florida?
FL radar loop with NHC track overlay. Changes to the track with NHC updates are clearly visible.
I am right now, LOL.
Great timing eh?!
Very warm grin!
I am so blessed to hear from you!
Tatt
Thank you! I’m juggling a few tasks. Very fortunate to have you looking after me.
Getting our first bands in Pinellas now. It’s gonna be a wet few days for sure.
In central Florida Orange Cty as well, this is gonna suck
Nah. Plant City is what we call “out in the middle”. They are far from big water.
Thank you. That is a bit of a relief for myself and Mrs. Hoagy62.
AMEN. Keeping you and yours in our prayers....
Anyone know if Ian may make a direct hit on Venice, FL? We have several friends there. Prayers for all who are in Ian’s path...
It’s not projected to “hit” Venice, but it’s going to be nasty passing by and there will be some surge. I believe Zone/Level A is under evacuation orders in Sarasota County. Sarasota County is under a Hurricane Warning. Sarasota and Manatee counties can expect 6-12 inches of rain and a storm surge of 5-8 feet. They are shutting off the water on Anna Maria Island.
