Can the people posting updates, please at least post the County they are in? There’s been a couple people posting useful stuff, useful, that is, if it had a geographical area associated with it. I get the desire for persec. I really do. But don’t post all that stuff if you're not going to post the County or Zipcode at least.

Checking in from the Tampa area. Both my fiance and I stopped at two different Publix (St. Pete on Ulmerton near Raymond James HQ and the Tampa Palms store) on the way in to work this morning. The only thing that looked like they were running short on in both locations was water.

If anyone is curious to the whereabouts of the NOAA's Hurricane Hunters, use flightradar24 and look for N42RF and N49RF.
Their P-3 (N42RF) "Kermit" is currently in the storm.

because the system slowed down, it's going to get more time to intensify under favorable conditions
 Attached Filethis system has been a problem to forecast, because it has been influenced by the movement of high and low pressure systems from the mid conus, eastward, and the strengthening of a ridge of high pressure to the north of the system. |

... Be prepared for the possibility of losing local TV and Radio stations. We lost pretty much all of them before the eye hit. It was a couple days before we got any radio stations back. I could get a station from about 100 miles away, but they had very little information that helped, because in those first couple of days, with no local comms or radio/TV, so little info was getting out. You may go a couple days without a lot of info. |

the most likely problem that will present for inland and Gulf-Coast FL (as I think other posters previously mentioned) is not wind destruction of homes, but instead power going out for days from trees tipping over and taking out power lines. FL has had a LOT of rain in the past 8 weeks, much of the ground is saturated in many places, and even if Dorian drops to a Cat 1 or Tropical Storm as it crosses land, it could just move slooooowly and dump tons and tons of rain onto saturated ground. At that point, it won't take Cat 4 winds to topple trees over. I lived through a couple of hurricanes like this in Virginia in the 2000s that came inland to Richmond and just sat there raining buckets for days, causing flooding and root balls that gave up the effort.

I seriously can't understand how people who live in Florida, or really anywhere there can be a natural disaster, aren't prepared.
My house in Florida has a 10,000w Honda generator, a 2000w Honda generator and 1500w Honda generator. We always have multiple cases of water on hand, a 25 gallon tank of gas (for the boats anyways) on hand, plus gas cans. It all gets cycled through the boats. Let alone 3 tanks of propane for the grill, charcoal of the Big green egg, etc. Like this isn't a surprise people. |
