The National Hurricane Center says there’s a 70% chance the system will become a tropical storm by Monday and a 90% chance overall.
With the oceans very warm around Florida that system could do a lot of things quick.
None of which I’d want to be in Florida for.
I’m posting daily about this one in [email protected].
Right now the intensity models are predicting a CAT 1 with landfall happening sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday. Of course there’s plenty of time for those predictions to change. 😛
Since when does a possible tropical storm deserve a state of emergency?
It cuts through a bunch of red tape, and we haven’t had a hurricane target the state this year. Right now, NHC is predicting a Cat 1 hurricane. That’s only hurricane party weather. Unless you live in a low lying area or are susceptible to storm surge. That prediction will probably change though.
Yea, it sounds like DeSantis doesn’t want to actually do his “Governor of Florida” duties since he’s out campaigning and just cut a huge chunk of the state responses over to the federal government.
Hurricane party?
Tropical storms and weak hurricanes provide an excuse to get drunk and bbq.
Can’t go to work, can’t go to school, can’t go much of anywhere, but it’s not a big enough deal that you actually have to worry about damage beyond a few tree branches being blown loose.
Grab some booze, snacks, and candles just in case. Charge up your battery powered devices, invite some people over, and vibe while it’s dumping outside. If you have a screened porch, it generally includes one to several periods of just watching the storm with a drink.
Get shit faced because there’s not much you can do during a hurricane. Especially cat 2 and under.
Time to drink from that fed trough
Uh-oh! Who’s got the sharpie?
“It not immediately clear if the storm would reach hurricane strength…”
Excellent proofreading, NBC!
What wrong with it?
Why use many words when few words do.
Forecast models have the storm curving to the northeast toward Florida, coming ashore along the Gulf coast north of Tampa near the Big Benda area and then heading diagonally across the state to emerge again in the Atlantic Ocean near southeast Georgia.
