Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)
- Thread starter Touchdown
- Start date
But the potential for up to 24” of rain in some areas, and 12-18” expected. I think the less time Ian is in the Gulf, the better for Orlando.

Can’t check in until after 3pm? They really are expecting to be back to normal on Friday

No. No later than 3pm Wed.
For rain it’s worse though, the way dry air is going to go into the storm the area just north of the eye will be the worst.

Umm…they’re not “predicting fizzle”…don’t give too much credit
They are simply targeting when the coffers can be refilled again.
Pretty linear thinking

Clean side of what? Supercooked torrential rain for 36 hours?

Not too surprising…that’s pretty standard 55 miles inland
Local news YouTube feed predicting only 6-8 inches of rain in Orange County. Hard to believe the difference. Also the track did move south. Just north of Ft Myers.

Yep, I took photo in June. It's just outside the restrooms, in the back before you get to "pirate memorabilia" room near Tortuga.
I remember some on the side street off of Main Street USA, but they may have been removed in the recent refurbishment there.
The numbers are slightly better for Tampa since the predicted landfall moved further to the South.
Chance of sustained winds for more than a minute with higher gusts possible...
Chance of sustained winds for more than a minute with higher gusts possible...
| Sustained Wind Strength | Tampa | Orlando |
| 75+ MPH (Hurricane Force) | 30-50% | 30-40% |
| 60-75 MPH | 50-90% | 60-70% |
| 40-60 MPH (Tropical Force) | 90-100% | 90-100% |
Well, yeah. You realize that rain comes from somewhere, right? Hurricanes rotate CCW. Water is picked up from the ocean and spun up to the right of the hurricane.
The news here was clearly showing the difference in rainfall depending on which model was right.
I see the Covid medical experts are now Meteorogists.

Even though it is early Wednesday, it has been a long week. I worked both Monday and Tuesday and spent the better part of my shifts assisting getting the building ready for the storm and then finished securing the house Tuesday evening. While I am happy that the projected storm track has shifted from the Tampa Bay Area, I am very worried for those south of us. For those of you in Florida, please stay safe!!

On a sightly brighter note, if you're on site and your tickets are extended you've got a good shot of getting on every ride the day the parks open. It always ends up being a very weird day as the place is totally dead for the morning, with walkons on practically everything.
Hope all the scheduled cast come to work post storm and roadways driveable . Attractions need trained cast not just any cast to operate the attractions . This goes with any dept also. A few posts on a different thread a number of months ago notated lack of security staffing caused massive lines of guests waiting to enter MK one morning .

Glad to hear you can finally get some rest
Holy heck! We were at MM38, but still, that’s way too close for comfort. So glad we moved. Hoping we moved to the right location.
