Hurricane Irma

[JohnD]

So I'm at the Paynes Prairie rest area on I-75 S and traveling to WDW right now. I recently passed over the Santa Fe River. They aren't kidding. While it may be receding, it's still very much near the bridge.

Sigh...soon to be Maria

Love that rest area. Did you walk on the world's largest snake?

The overlook walkway? Not this time.

We're off tomorrow (YAY!!) and I just wanted to ask, are grocery stores in the Orlando/Kissimmee area well-stocked or are they still a little light on things?

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

I was thinking "Take A Letter Maria" and it says "Go North, young lady!"

I spent the week in Chattanooga with cousins during the hurricane. I've returned now and things at my house look pretty great all things considering. A large old sycamore tree was uprooted in the front yard, but it fell in the grass and not on anything. The porch screen in the back had its panels blown out, but that's no big deal. The fence bordering our neighbor (which belongs to them) had some parts knocked over, the owner I believe will fix that. The house itself survived without a scratch.

The problem now is-

No, rabbit season (No, duck season!)

Local news this morning was adamant that a front will push Maria northward before she reaches Florida. It's just further out than the 5-day cone of uncertainty forecast. I guess we'll see! Still doesn't bode well for the poor Caribbean though...

That's what Spaghetti Models is showing. Of course there is one outlier showing it going up Florida.

Didn't Irma look like that at one point or another, though? The further out you go, the less reliable any forecast is.
Weathernerds are showing both the GFS and the European model, with the Euro one showing tracks closer to FL, although it hasn't been updated to the latest run yet.

There is a stronger front this time. But no guarantee.

Mandatory for all nursing homes to get generators for nursing homes for climate control.

If you live in Florida year round this really is a necessity. IMO.

Yeah, those people really don't have any money. If France, Great Britain, The Netherlands and the US don't step up to rebuild they will look like Haiti for years to come and their only real industry (tourism) will be non-existent. Poor Puerto Rico with 20% unemployment and a government unable to meet it's debt obligations is really in triouble and another storm will just sink them further.
