![]() Current projected path can change Map showing projected path here Off the north coast of South America: ![]() As of 3 July 2021 (unknown time) it was downgraded to a tropical storm and the current predictions do not show it becoming a hurricane again...but these systems do not go by model predictions. |

View Quote Don’t forget to panic buy gas instead of already having reserves that you rotate out during the off season. |

Want to know why it's the 6th? Because when Joe Biden entered the impact date in the hurricane machine he got Independence Day wrong.

Boy, that happened fast! Yesterday the maps were showing it would only reach TS level.
For those outside the impacted areas, it would be a good idea to fill up your gas tanks. Even if it doesn't affect the gulf, you know the panic buyers and neckbeards wil be out in force. |

That’s gonna suck for those dealing with the collapsed building.

Updated first post to show the projected (No guarantee of accuracy) path.

Hope it gets diminished some by going over the islands and comes north right over the state and pisses out. Worse case it goes out over the warm waters of the gulf and strengthens into a real SOB. Getting gas, bread and beer tomorrow morning after F-1 qualifying just in case.

The waters around Florida are also in the mid to upper 80s so this can only help to strengthen it but we will see |

Cruising at 31 MPH this morning. This is a fast mover. Which means nothing-burger. One step above "Huh, looks like we got a lot of rain last night.
Of course, if it hits the brakes, slows down to 8mph, and runs parallel to the west coast of FL, all bets are off. But that's not going to happen. |

Just hoping that my flights aren’t affected for my conference…

So far looking like a big nothing burger. What will Cantori do?

This storm isn't even worthy of talking about honestly. It could cause some flooding but, that happens every day down here.

The current prediction does show it being a tropical storm when it passes over Florida but even the system level can change for the better or worse. Monitor the status as it approaches and prepare accordingly. |

The black line in the Euro model goes directly over my house. Better get more beer today. |

View Quote Reading these threads, I can tell Florida from the rest of the country. ![]() We speak from experience. They repeat what they hear from the TV. Not knocking watching TV, but the News, well, they want to sensationalize things. I sat at home during Charlie and it was a strong 3, maybe 4 when it hit. That was kinda dumb looking back, but, it was fine. Power was out about a day. Now Irma was different. I still stayed home, but it went straight up the gut. So nowhere to run. Power was out for 7-ish days. A TROPICAL STORM? It is a lot of rain. Now it may wash the footing from under a couple of 15 story condos (too soon?), but the rest of us will be fine. Maybe some flooding, but nothing worth getting worked up about. 15-20 years ago, Publix would stay open right up to an hour or so of the storm. They opened up as soon as it passed. Now, well, we know how our society has changed. |

I'll believe those models when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet

Meh.
It will get shredded by Cuba. Better get more beer anyways. |

A hurricane is not a "slap around" until it gets to Cat III or more. Cat Is and IIs are nothing more prolonged afternoon thunderstorms here in Florida.

Looks like projected winds and rain amounts at my house in the Keys is less than what I got this week in Ohio.
I don’t know the big deal about tropical storms. We call them thunder storms up north… |

I'm supposed to be in the keys all next week. Looks like I will be light on the sunscreen and heavy on the rum.

This storm won’t be a Hurricane when it hits Florida just a tropical storm. It will just be a windy, rainy day.
I know the lack of concern seems weird to people outside of Florida, but after you go through a storm or two you realize that the news really over hypes every storm system and that most them amount to a rainy day. The only part of the hurricane to really watch out for is the eye. If the storm gets to a cat 3 or higher and the eye is coming for you then you should be concerned. Especially if you live on the coast because there can be flooding caused by storm surge. |

Monitor the status as it approaches and prepare accordingly. View Quote The problem is most of the country sees “hurricane” and freaks the fuck out. Floridians see that it isn’t a Cat 3 or above and don’t give a shit. A Cat 1 or 2 only fucks up pizza delivery for half a day and I have to get it myself. I’ve sat on a covered back porch with friends and drank for 16 hours during a tropical storm. I’ve had people from all over the country message me and tell me I needed to flee the state, my house is going to get wrecked and we’re all gonna die. The electricity went off for less than 3 seconds and I had to spend about 2 hours cleaning up the yard. My four palmetto trees hadn’t been cleaned out in a few years, so I had a pile of shit twice as big as my truck to clean up. We get really tired of the panic from the rest of the country. |
