Flying out this morning from Orlando. Definitely the calm before the storm now with perfect weather outside.

I live just outside Bradenton, I’m in a mandatory evacuation zone — Zone C, never thought it would get to the third tier. We’re leaving this morning for my sister’s home in Brunswick, GA.

It’s nearing the actual limit of what we think Max storm power can even be produced on earth. Scary.

Parts of the Gulf coast are still littered with debris yet-to-be-removed, just sitting in dumpsters and heaps on the sides of roads. All of that stuff will become projectiles when the storm makes landfall (probably with 100+ mph winds). |

As of this morning, the track has it just south of the mouth of Tampa Bay, which is fantastic news for Tampa and st Pete. With an expected 15' surge, it would have been devastating. They'll still get a lot of wind and rain, and there will still be flooding, just not nearly as bad as it could be.
I'm about an hour north of Tampa. They're expecting 80mph winds here, and because there's still so much debris from the last storm, that is our biggest worry. We're hoping that the low front will weaken it to a low 3 or even a cat 2 by the time it makes landfall. I'm glad the Chiefs won last night, that may be the last good thing to happen for me for awhile. |

This one is big. Small eye. Atmospheric pressure close to Katrina. 180 mph winds. I fear this thing will absolutely destroy anything in its path.

Just find a nice lake if you want to live on the water.
