Thoughts and prayers to our friends in Tallahassee and the Panhandle…

[sadgator]

If you have been around this Board long enough, you know that sadgator despises and fears hurricanes more than anything else in the world.

They are horrible events, and sadgator has the highest level of sympathy and compassion for those who have to experience both the event and the terrible aftermath that follows….

May God bless you all over the next few hours, and let’s hope it is not as bad as it could be…

Anyone born and raised in central Florida as I was can tell you that your first experience with a hurricane at a young age will leave a terrifying experience you will never forget. The feeling that the walls would come crashing in at any moment the the eerie calm followed by a second torrent is unforgettable. Please take heed and evacuate. Prayers to all.

 

[bradleygator]

Yeah stay safe everyone.

Tree loving Tally will have serious power outages.
The coast immediately south of the Capitol in places like Shell Point, St.Marks and Panacea will see big storm surges.
I have friends in Tally who are hunkering down but others are hauling out of town or have already left.
I’m hearing I-10 is having huge traffic in both directions.

 

[Countygator1]

This thing looks nasty. Everyone be safe!

 

[sadgator]

120mph hauling ass at 16 mph right into Tallahassee…hold on…it is going to be a scary ride. Hope everybody gets off the roads.

I'm 77 and too old to move now. The only thing truly keeping us here is our daughter and grandchildren live 3 miles from us. I've always hated summers in Florida and the 95 degree 75% humidity drags me down even more now. There's some detraction or negative anywhere you go but North Carolina and eastern Tennessee always seems nice. I can take the cold much better than the heat. Hurricanes area a big negative for Florida and they scare me to death Butt snowstorms are no picnic either. Born here and lived here all but 2 years when my Dad was stationed in Naples Italy. One positive is I wouldn't be a Gator fan if I had lived elsewhere. LOL.
Still nothing but prayer and hope for all the folks in the path of this monster.God please protect them.

Don't worry, there's an amphibious assault carrier loaded up with ACV in the Gulf ready to assist the Coasties with rescue efforts. Lol at being in a flat bottom warship during a cat 4 hurricane. 😎

Storm well into Georgia now and coastal flooding is a real thing. Tally escaped a direct hit.
The area where it made landfall is one of the last places not full of people, but poor little Perry took a beating.

Both of my sons are going to school in Tally (older is a senior at FSU, younger is a sophomore at TSC); glad they have more common sense than their old man - they came home midweek when classes got cancelled. I'd have been gearing up for the hurricane parties in my college days.
Saw from a friend that UF lost a grand old oak that was in the center of campus (the Norman Hall tree); I assume you guys know which?

☹️. So sad for those little towns on the coast. It is heartbreaking. Prayers to all affected.

Thanks weather girl. Why don’t you post on Osceola or are you banned there also like all your Little buddies who kiss up here?

It’s weird for someone to take shots at posters offering thoughts and prayers for victims suffering from a natural disaster.

Sad but not at all surprising.

 

[sadgator]

Speaking of prayers…sadgator is astonished by some of the video and pictures of the damage in Western North Carolina. The flooding damage is almost incomprehensible. The sad thing is, those folks really weren’t expecting that level of impact, and it is amazing that towns, structures, and roads were literally washed away with very little warning. Prayers to those communities up there as they try to recover.

Classy post, @sadgator

Spent most of Saturday at a buddy's house, on the coast near the Weeki Wachee river. Water had been about 5 feet deep in the house, all of furniture & appliances were ruined & had to tear out all of the drywall, rip out the cabinets, etc...demo down to the studs. The pile of trash brought out to the street was massive. It was the biggest pile of garbage I've seen, until I watched our football game later that night.

Looks like FL is about to be slammed again with a Hurricane forming in the Gulf now. Most models have it hitting the west coast and exiting around the Melbourne area right now. Most seem to think Cat 2 to even a Cat 4 possibility.

I was just reading about that. The majority of models have it remaining as a tropical depression or tropical storm, but the Euro and GFS models have it strengthening to a hurricane. Cat 1 or small Cat 2. Water is still very warm. The Euro has been very accurate this season, so its certainly something to watch.

Yep I think it probably ends up being one and at least a Cat 2 or 3. The wind model ones are already upgrading the likely winds.

 

[sadgator]

It’s going to strengthen beyond the current prediction. Time to prepare.

Effed up thing is also I could only imagine how insurance rates are going up after this year on top of the exploding rates we’re already paying. Tent anyone??

Euro just updated. It has it strengthening to cat 3, 120 mph winds, but then sliding back some to roughly 115 mph at landfall. Either way, damn. Euro has been spot on so far this season.

Yikes Alachua County batten down. 😟

 

[Gator Fever]

I did the calculations on where I am at and looks like I will get 60 - 80 mph after it passes over land depending on what it does but I am on the east coast. Most models have this thing getting a lot stronger the farther north the track goes. Showing a more southern hit only possible with like a Cat 1 storm. The best thing would be for this to stay a Cat 1 or weaker Cat 2 and hit farther south.

Further north the longer it stays out over water and can strengthen. Models should lock in tomorrow and we will know just about where it will hit

Perry took an ass whooping but so did north east central Florida. Only the eastern coastal counties were spared from tree damage. I passed through Alachua County in route to Dixie County for storm cleanup this week. Trees down everywhere. I was on a two lane highway yesterday and a tree just teetered over, fell, and covered half the highway. fell 100 yards in front of me. A car coming from the other way almost ran into it, locked up brakes and skidded just feet away. Crazy.

That being said, keep meaning to ask you. Were you in school when Teddy Bundy made a tour of the FSU campus?

 

[sadgator]

Good luck to all from Venice to Bradenton. sadgator fears this one’s gonna be the one he has been dreading for a long time. The projected exit path is not a good one for sadgator.
