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.

Tampa Bay looks like the bull’s eye for a direct hit on Wednesday during the worst part of the storm’s life. Prayers for their safety.

Tampa bay may have dodged the bullet ,,a hit south would mean offshore flow and way less surge
NFL are thinking of moving the Bucs Chiefs game to Minneapolis depending on severity of storm.

My husband and I are in bumper to bumper traffic on 70 East in our RV (left a Tampa area this morning)
Continuing prayers for all in harm’s way.
For anyone wanting to check out FL traffic cams....
how much south ? my sis is in Anna Maria...not leaving either.
Prayers up for Tampa, and all the other towns in the path of Ian.
Praying also that the evacuations will move along smoothly.
Prayers up for the great Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, that he will have the strength, wisdom, and fortitude to deal with the coming disaster with his usual calm, steady approach.
So after I posted to you this morning I went to Lasing park, put the john boat in, motored to approximately two miles into the bay, stood with middle finger extended and yelled an explicative.
Then I motored back and went to Publix.
I enjoyed that.

WOW! Those people...tourists?
Good post. Yes, it’s important to pray for Governor DeSantis, local officials, aid workers, first responders, and all who are working on preparation and relief work as well as all ordinary people in the path of this storm.
Agree. I also offer prayers to our Almighty on behalf of his creatures. Please, Dear God, keep them out of harm’s way. Thank you, God. Amen.
Yes...for them also.
I was thinking of the manatees. How do they shelter in a bad storm?
“Love that webcam and the tourists standing in front of the monument having pictures taken as the waves break over them. The commentary is funny too.”
People are crazy. Fun to watch, yes the comments are funny.

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate

SUMMARY OF 300 PM EDT...1900 UTC...INFORMATION
Thanks, Harvey was 937 mb. Ian might come in around there or less.
Thank You so much.
Always the optimist, I confess. The real time loop shows some interruption in the eyewall, it appears. Let’s hope it continues, and begins to degrade.
