tdott · 09-05-2017, 06:35 PM

Im in Australia, flight back is suppose to land 11:55pm Sunday after its predicted to hit. House should be fine we have impact windows and cars are already in the Garage. Just need to get a nieghbor to put my bbq in his garage.

Fingers cross, FL doesnt get hit too bad.

I'm in Naples. Hoping for better news in the morning. Right now, not looking too good.

BOOF-M3 · 09-05-2017, 11:00 PM

There are water delivery websites FYI. We ordered 75 bottles of water. Not sure if it was through Amazon or not but ordered today and will be here tomorrow.

RickFLM4 · 09-05-2017, 11:08 PM

We keep several cases of water on hand at all times to mitigate need to find just before storm. It sucks going from store to store.

Shelves should be stocked again tomorrow. Try early morning. You can also try finding some Rubbermaid or similar containers you can fill with water. Amazon Prime can still arrive by Friday.

Boat is inland, house (waterfront on one of the islands in South Beach) is locked up and valuables/art moved to secure highlevel bunker. I flew out last night and shall wait to see what becomes of it.

Stay safe my friends !

gonzo · 09-06-2017, 06:42 AM

So sick and sad.

Is that supposed to be funny? I see the need for special prosecutions coming to social media.

Back to reality:
You guys keep your guard up over there. I'd say late pm today, will show a better path picture.
If an option...south Floridians...leave!
I think Provo is going to get torn apart.

nyalpine90 · 09-06-2017, 07:38 AM

Jose is coming too!!

Floridians be safe !!

RickFLM4 · 09-06-2017, 08:14 AM

Got lucky at gas station early this morning. Arrived as gas station's tanks getting refilled and picked the right line. 16 gallons of gas in 3 gas cans. Now hopefully they don't cause an explosion and inferno in garage when they are stored during the storm.

Blindside_137 · 09-06-2017, 09:44 AM

Looking eerily similar to Matthew, most of the spaghetti projections have the track jetting north and missing the Florida coast.

Definitely don't want anyone taking a direct hit from this monster, but certainly don't want it coming to NC full strength either.

kscarrol · 09-06-2017, 09:49 AM

Yes, the model runs this morning are looking a bit better for Florida though folks up the coast in NE Georgia and South Carolina need to keep an eye on this one...

Yes, frustrating not to know yet where it is going, so everyone must prepare. We may not have a better sense of where impact will be worst until it is right upon us unfortunately. Truly hoping it misses everyone.

The cone is still very wide and it can be anything from a near miss to direct impact to FL (either coast or Panhandle), Carolinas or Alabama / Louisiana. Basically a big chunk of the ACC and SEC territories.

Is the eye, itself, calm? It looks like the eye is passing directly over St. Thomas.
