Quoted: Porque no d s? The 422 is truly one of the best guns that they've ever made, that desperately needs a reboot. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: In the path. We are prepped. Water/Fuel/Food/Ammo lol. Hopefully it shifts more west. The area around Perry is much more sparsely populated and mostly deer camps. Will post when it passes. Have to pull the starlink inside tonight. I'm on the east coast. I'm going to a local gun shop to see if I can snag a S&W Model 422. 422 or 442? Porque no d s? The 422 is truly one of the best guns that they've ever made, that desperately needs a reboot. Ahh, a man of exquisite taste. |

Quoted: Yeah, that would be bad. And in no way am I not sympathetic to those currently residing in the area which is less populated. Because, as I mentioned before, hurricanes suck and are evil. Prayers to all of my fellow southerners dealing with this! View Quote Friends have a place in horseshoe Beach. At 15ft....it may be just at the porch ( 95% of the homes got put on pilings few years ago). But as posted...it's 20+ minute drive to get to " town:. Nothing but woods.... Still sucks for the locals. |

View Quote I don’t know the answer but if you download the app flight aware onto your phone, it will tell you where your plane currently is so you know if it’s coming in late or canceled. Good luck |

Quoted: How bad do yall think Orlando will get? I've got a co-worker that's supposed to go there on vacation next week. View Quote Very little impact. We have worse summer storms as it currently sits. Just had a random storm 3 weeks ago dump 5" of rain in an hour with 50mph winds. We took a direct hit from Charlie - power down for 1 week+ and Disney was open at full capacity the next day. They will be more than fine. ETA: Saw other responses. I live in orlando, have been for 20 years. Been through all of them. Orlando will be more than fine with this- we are barely even forecast to get TS winds and only 1-2" of water. Hell I have a lunch meeting scheduled for tomorrow. By contrast we got 90mph and 16" with Ian and a week later all was back to normal. Unless it shifts and takes everyone by surprise your co-worker wont even know it happened. |

Water temps in the Gulf are high. We went fishing this weekend and the fish finder showed 92 degree water temps.
That's Hurricane nitrous. If wind shear isn't bad I could see it getting stronger as it approaches warmer shallow waters. It's hugging the coast so that might affect the outflow. Tampa is on the bad side of it but worst stays offshore. |

I went to Daytona Biketoberfest just days after Matthew moved up the east coast. Tore a lot of shit up and my hotel was closed because of severe damage so I camped at the Cabbage Patch. The one thing I really noticed driving in and out of Fla was that it stunk like shit where it churned up all the lowland swamps as well as I'm sure overwhelming sewage systems.

Quoted: @Twitchy Gateway. The house is now mine. I hope the weather updates have been favorable. View Quote You'll be fine there. Generally anything west of 4th will be fine from surge unless we get a massive hit. Wind is more concerning if it gets bad. My place is a block from the water in Shore Acres just to the east of you. I'm up in Tampa now though. Most of Pinellas will be under water if we ever get hit with a major storm. Look at a topographical map and you'll see a donut in the central part of the county. It'll be the last thing not underwater, although it will probably be torn up from wind if it gets that bad. |

Tampa Bay is getting the wave we got. Looks like they are getting wet! Those north of Tampa should anticipate lots of rain within the hour. Naples is getting the second big band so we will be getting it in a couple of hours. |

View Quote That’s one of the only guns i pretty much wore out. I have no idea how many rounds i put through it but I’m sure it would be measured in the 10s of thousands. It still worked but was just sloppy and a buddy of mine wanted to buy it. I took what he paid me and used it towards a 2206. Great pistols |

Water is pretty high here on the Imperial River. My dock is is only about 6" clear of it right now; tide is going out so hopefully the rest of the storm moves north before tomorrows high.

Schools in Orlando cancelled for tomorrow, but my office is open. Unless it takes a sharp right turn in the next 24 hrs I think we'll be alright here.

It is monstrous in size. Not a very well defined eye, but it’s got as much area as the entire state.
