It's that time of the year, just as it's been for ions. We ALWAYS need all the rain we can get as us humans have totally screwed Florida's ecology with our "florida water management" system.
I welcome the rain (even tho it definitely hurts my m/c shop bizzness) as it might mean one more year we might not go into drought status.
You ain't the only ones. I live up in the panhandle and we've been getting soaked for the last two weeks. I've had my bike out once in 14 days...tomorrow looks decent though...calm before the storm.
Will be another lovely day in Florida. I'm hearing possible cat 3 and shifted south a bit. Who knows. Nothings ever really certain until the things right on top of you.
One day we just going to get heavy rain now with heading bit south could get a bit more. One of my best friends lives in sebring so good for me bad for him or other way around. But yes looking more like a cat 3
I saw one update that had the U.S. Model has it going north of Okeechobee. And the European model has it going right over south Florida. If it follows the European model I guess I'll be testing my new impact windows. We'll see
Hurricane update from Florida.
We are now certain there is a hurricane. It's somewhere between a Cat. 1 and a Cat 5. We are sure it may or may not bring rain to all areas totaling .01" to 10 feet. We also know it will be impacting none or all of Florida coming ashore on the east, west, northwest or Alabama side of the state sometime on Saturday, Sunday or Monday but we are not ruling out Tuesday. Stay informed with the most accurate weather forecast on earth.
Another hurricane, y'all remember, they're never a big deal until they are. Back in 1968 while on one of our extended hunting trips Typhoon Bess hit us in I Corps, South VietNam while we were out in the bush. What a miserable time that was with only our poncho liners to protect ourselves. Try and keep a smoke lit in that shivt with the winds blowing and the rain hitting us like a waterfall for 3-4 days.
After the storm was over I came down with emersion foot (all the skin peels off the bottom of your feet) and I had to be evaced back to An Hoa. A Corpsman asked me how I had let that happen so I told him I had no idea, after all I had brought an extra pair of socks. I couldn't walk for several days.

I went through the same deal. Stretched out my poncho liner and tied off the 4 ends, propped up the center with an e-tool and crawled inside. The poncho was on the ground on all 4 sides and kept the wind off me. Barely enough room to sit. Socks were dry-it was a good day.
Not to worry. The most we'll see is 40-50 mph winds and a few inches of rain. Wilma dumped a ton of rain and winds were 90mph here. I'm just across the harbor didn't lose power, phone or satellite tv.
well looks like most of us are going to escape the wrath of dorian. cone shifted a lot. just hope it keeps out in the atlantic an hits the colder waters an out to sea. they say the storm is just 10mph less then a cat 5. now what to do with extra water beer. bread lol
As many as 13,000 homes have been severely damaged or destroyed, according to a statementfrom the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and extensive flooding has created an "urgent need" for clean water as wells become contaminated with saltwater.
Really feel bad for people in the bahamas, been there not many shelters, an no place to ride to be safe.
They haven't released death toll but i would imagine its going to a high number
