Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

Corless is live streaming from Animal Kingdom Lodge...

i don't do that sort of thing. Will just provide updates now and then. Such as, the AK Lodge lobby is bustling with activity. Children are dancing right now -- to Barracuda!. Other activities scheduled as shown and here is food info.

If it isn’t obvious already I canceled my stay. If you play out the predicted radar Orlando is expected to be under a red radar cloud for hours soon.

I prefer my rain from above…not sucked up from the ocean and dumped directly on land like a beer funnel…but different strokes

And I see “downplay till I look like a complete fool” instinct is strong with some/crosses discussion topics

Gee, it's likely going to be South of Orkando now, and MIRACULOUSLY rain forecast has dropped.

Odd...

Still close to that edge of Orlando seeing a lot of rain or a LOT of rain.

While Artist’s Palette says it’s open, there are currently no mobile order arrival windows available. I’m also not sure how it can be open if people are supposed to be in their rooms.

I don't see that as much of a change I always saw 10-15inches

Sometimes he can be a beacon of negativity in a sea of corporate Disney bootlicking.

 

[Tom Morrow]

Well, that new update looks much worse for Orlando

man, as bad as these get on the coast, you can at least say it's part of the contract you sign with coastal living, and you have time to evacuate. when these things just decide to park themselves hundred+ miles inland like this could, that can cause a lot of strife that no one is prepared for.

 

[Hawg G]

Not if by Friday Orange County, Tampa County and Lee/Charlotte Counties are under de facto martial law with newscasts showing Orlando being underwater thanks to rainfall they've never experienced in the last 50 years.

Dude, have some Rum, and chill

It’s Florida…you can literally run across in in 12 hours

…ok…not really…you’d be dead.

But “paradise” has a price. Usually it’s just low pay and bad infrastructure…and sunscreen doesn’t cut it.

But on the upswing…they said this is one of the 7 strongest storms to hit Florida since 1950

72/7 = not that huge of an inconvenience. Really…
This too shall past.

More important matters right now but can’t help wonder the impact on FL homeowners insurance.

Wait and see in a few months when some policies get cancelled through no fault of the homeowner.

The NHC has been warning about this for days, they honestly should have been prepared. I know there is this Florida thing about manning up for a hurricane but seriously, you know it’s coming days in advance. Living in a part of the country where Tornados are frequent and we get maybe 30-60 min before if you’re lucky I just have a hard time with people being unprepared.

It is the Army slogan - Hurry up and wait. Get your supplies, secure your home etc etc then sit tight , wait and ride out the storm in your home hiding in your closet away from the windows while it feels and hears like a bomb is going off.

I was just reading about that earlier today.

I mean when you see tweets like this you have to really wonder if Orlando's parks are actually built to handle double digit rainfall.

 

[Lilofan]

I was just reading about that earlier today.

Insurance companies in the last 2 years for example are cancelling certain homeowner policies to limit hurricane claims exposure . When companies will actually pay out millions of dollars of claims after that it will not be pretty.

 

[WDW Pro]

Vloggers are licking their CHOPS to profit from this tragedy. Adam The Woo even cut his Utah trip short to fly back down to Orlando as the storm approaches just to vlog the chaos.

No insult intended, but it seems to me unethical to take a room that might be used by a stranded tourist otherwise.

 

[flynnibus]

No one has said the parks are going to be wiped out, but there will be a lot of damage.

I mean, you even reacted to the post..

Never mind the drivel posted since about martial law, entire state being flooded, and other nonsense.
