This is horse feathers. The storm currently has 30 mph winds, projected to reach 45 mph before hooking out to sea again.

 

[Robinsad]

We arrive Sunday, hopefully it won't be too bad.

 

[DCLcruiser]

I'm going to be in FL as of Sunday too.

Please go away!

So THIS is why MFSR only has a 45-minute wait!

Phew! You can x-out your resume, Mr. Chapek and return to your game of solitaire.

Don’t take this map seriously. It hasn’t had a sharpie drawn on it yet.

It’s Friday afternoon. They’ll get to it Monday.

This means longer than usual rain, but you can still have parts of the day hot & sunny.

We arrive Sunday, hopefully it won't be too bad.

Ditto. Arriving at MCO at 8:35am. I'm not worried about the parks, more about my flight.

I arrive at MCO at 11:41 AM on Sunday. It seems like I'm always worried about my flights. There's either a storm in Chicago, or a problem at the destination. I've been lucky many times. There have been times when O'hare shutdown, right after my flight took off. I hope my luck holds up again.

 

[fngoofy]

Sustained winds of 45 mph for a few hours aren't a joke, that can cause issues. But it is looking like this will mostly be a rain event, if that.

I agree, I would not want to weather sustained 45mph winds either.
But those speeds, for a system that will be 50mi off the shore, and 90mi+ from WDW spells 0 impact on the parks.

/slightly concerned for Vero Beach Resort, but only slightly.

 

[ChanceH]

We land at a MCO Sunday at 11:30. Hope the flight doesn’t get delayed. The parks I’m not worried about.

Brand addicts can breathe a sigh of relief as they have another hurricane to blame for the lack of crowds swarming SWGE. *PeOpLe ArE cAnCeLLiNg VaCaTiOnS!!!!!

 

[radiohead8989]

With the 5 PM est update, it looks like it might move east. It might not hit Florida at all.

 

[Ismael Flores]

but the real question is............... Will it hit Alabama?

 

[Lensman]

Oh my. 40% probability of tropical storm force winds over Great Abaco Island in the Northern Bahamas, and parts of Grand Bahama Island as well. (the same islands hit by the worst of Hurricane Dorian)

 

[IanDLBZF]

Latest NHC Advisory has this storm off the coast.

Sustained winds of 45 mph for a few hours aren't a joke, that can cause issues. But it is looking like this will mostly be a rain event, if that.

Glad I won't be there this week. It would be just like home. We have gotten 7 inches this week and 7 the week before.

 

[wendysue]

Well it turns out it has been a delightful weekend. Nothing more than your typical late summer scattered showers.

Well, in that case, I wish I had been there this week!

 

[ChanceH]

Well the storm didn’t hit Orlando but we got stuck in Florida a couple extra days due to the TS flooding in Houston. Couldn’t fly home when airport is under water. Dodge one storm get involved in another sorta.
