Looks like the GFS trended back east, not that swings are surprising. I haven't read anything concerning for Texas, and it sounds like at this point LA is an outlier. Quackerbox, your kiddo might not be so lucky to miss this one.

No doubt this long out on the forecast we would see it move all over

I'm in SE Texas and my home got over 2 feet in it during Harvey. When I see a hurricane coming I always say 'man I hope that doesn't hit us!" but then I feel kind of bad because it is going to hit someone. I don't wish this on anyone and pray for those that are going to be unfortunate. Wherever it goes at least we have plenty of time to prepare and there should be no excuse for loss of life.

I like this, continue the drought for years to come. Fingers crossed

Yep

He is just a delta bravo with dried up tanks...

I wish him the best of luck in getting a freak storm with softball-sized hail so that it can melt after it destroys his things and give him all the water he needs!

That dam thing’s never gonna leave if y’all keep feeding it.

I’ve got a mindset that if you’ve suffered a major loss in a Hurricane you can wish it goes somewhere else and leave your family without any damage. You’ve earned that right, just my opinion. I too live in SE Texas and had a few claims. I learned from Ike that flood insurance is necessary, Harvey proved you need it above I10 as well.

[Mudslinger]

When was the last time the US went the season without getting hit by a hurricane?

I know people need rain, but the damage no one needs or wants period!

That’s awesome! Some ****ed good eating there. Bring ‘em some more rain while you’re up there.

[Atfulldraw]

I'm a tropical tidbits follower, and Levi thinks the storm needs to get to Jamaica this weekend before we really know anything.

Something about a broad wave area, north/south options for development, tilted axis....could end up anywhere from Texas to the Keys depending on which route it takes.

Which I think we all already knew.

I'm gonna go do something else while we wait.

Hi, Johhny! Good to see you!

[bullets13]

What I read this morning:

“While the long term track does remain a bit tricky, confidence is growing the storm stays east of Louisiana. Current forecasts bring the storm near western Cuba by Monday/Tuesday then moves into Florida by the middle of next week potentially as a strong hurricane. Trends in models have been our friend along the northern Gulf Coast as they show a steady moving storm along with a deep trough over the eastern United States. This would act to steer the storm north then northeast once it reaches the far south eastern Gulf of Mexico. Of course we'll continue to watch, but the trends have been good.”

Hes on the 3rd floor of a concrete building. I think he'll be fine. Hard to tell mom that though. He on the other hand hasnt mentioned it. Once he does, he'll be worried about his boat

No plans to hook onto boat and head west? If it makes him feel better I left my boat under the carport for Laura. It wasnt exactly where I left it when I came back but it was fine and that was basically a cat 5

Nah, if anything they will retreat to Georgia to a friends house. Not that Ga will be much better than the dorm

The boat and several others are actually parked in a parking garage. I think they will be find where they sit. Depending on the direction it goes might not be a bad idea to tie it to something no more than it weighs.

We usually fill ours with water to add weight

Looking more like a Florida storm.

Johnny, so glad to see you post. Great Axis and still praying for you and your family!

[Mike]

Having been through a few storms with my own boats and many other neighbors/friends I will say this, I would tie it to something in some fashion. I have seen some things, lol. My boat/trailer in a storage facility floated, turned catty corner and wedged between purlins and required a floor jack to get it out.

If you are going to fill it up, you need to put jackstands under the trailer to support the weight of the water and still tie it to something. I would avoid adding water due to rain overflowing the bilge area/batteries as well as popping tires from the weight.

Like mine, his boat is under roof. So no rain

TD10 has become Hermine. TD9 will get Ian, if you put any weight in "I" storms being trouble.

As of this morning, it makes multiple (at least 3) model runs showing Florida landfall. Seems the models are starting to agree more and more as time moves along.

Prayers for those in the path. It will be worth watching I'm sure.

[Tyrex750]

We are heading out tomorrow and Monday taking fuel tanks and supplies. Time to make some money.

Are y’all simply re-selling supplies or actually planning on working storm cleanup?

[Traildust]

In.

[Tyrex750]

Neither, I work for a fuel company. We are taking fuel tanks, generators, water tanks, are anything else customers order. We ste the tanks, then fuel comes and fills them, so customers have fuel for their generators, vehicles are whatever they need it for.

[Capt.Brown]

So far Looks like a rural area is projected for landfall.

At the moment.

24 hours ago it looks like Tampa/St.Pete was going to get slammed.

[powderburner]

well looks like Tampa is about to get wet

[Atfulldraw]

Looking more like a direct hit on our house and my main office in Cape Coral, with landfall between Cape Coral and Tampa

[tvc184]

If it makes landfall north of Tampa/St. Pete, all those cities around Tampa Bay are going to take a huge hit with the storm surge. That northeast quadrant and wind will be blowing straight into the bay.

I has been about 20 years since I have been there but it seemed like I remember parts of the cities being barely above sea level.

yikes. Up to a Cat 3 with winds at 125 mph nearly making it a Cat 4. Prayers up for everyone affected in the coming days

[Johnny Dangerr]

We have 10 shops in Tampa that buy from us. I will be getting a back yard news feed from Lake City...

[TexasBob]

Always worth pointing out how great the NHC is at what they do. Track has not changed a lot since the first one released despite some pretty good model swings

Yup. Keeps ticking east (south) as the euro predicted.

Have a buddy who is south of tampa & lives 1/2 mile from the coast...talked to him last night & he's wrapping up the prep. I'm sure he'll send pics of the aftermath.

Gotta love being that young and getting priorates/essentials straight during these storms. I got a bottle of jack, some Bar S hot dogs and a lawn chair and went catfishing with a buddy in the eye of Ike(?) Was catching them left and right till It become unbearable when the wind rain kicked back up. Would I do that again...absolutely!

Very good friends of mine live less than 200 yards from Tampa Bay. The river right out there back door is brackish water. They were issued mandatory evacuation yesterday. I asked them if they were prepared, they said yes we made sure insurance was up to date
