The Saturday Detroit - Cleveland game moved up to 1:08pm from 8:08 pm EST due to the possibility of bad weather.
Just a heads up!

There are post on fb from as far south as the Bahamas. Also saw pictures taken in Jacksonville.
Is that the recent lights? I've heard about the ones from a few months ago, haven't heard about anyone seeing the yesterday.

Damn it, all we get is hurricanes.

Got through it okay. No obvious damage other than some minor fence damage but haven't been on the roof yet. Water came up considerably further than two weeks ago but didn't come in. The power's out but the generator is going so we have lights, fans, refrigerator, freezer and microwave...no ac though.
It got pretty interesting last light with a lot of wind, some in the 100mph+ mark and a ton of rain.
I only drove about 8 miles, from where we stayed, to get home. A lot of trees/large branches down, debris in the road, traffic lights out or damaged. A bunch of places are flooded, either from storm surge or rain flooding.
I got lucky, a bunch of folks south of me didn't. A bunch of people far away from the landfall location didn't either due to flooding and tornado damage. Still two more months until the end of hurricane season.

If you had bought gold 5 years ago instead of Trail Boss...,would you sell your gold at your buy price?

We were down to frigid 81 yesterday. Looking at a predicted 85 today.
Last night was at 62 and predicted to be 58 today.
Come on man...everyone knows that "it's a dry heat."

I saw everyone bundled up at the Tribe game yesterday and though, that must be nice!
To the question at hand. NO, it's a extremely muggy/humid 80. It's only 80 because there is cloud cover. Generally, we don't turn on the heat but once or twice a year usually around the end of January/beginning of February.

Hurricanes generally lose energy when they hit land. The further inland it continues to travel, they continue to shed energy due to various factors including friction.
The inland areas could face dangerous winds and possible flooding not related to surge. The east coast could also face dangerous winds, possible storm surge flooding and no surge flooding.
If your friends are in an area that floods from either rain or surge, they need to leave. If they reside in a mobile home, they need to seek a sturdier structure.
Fact is, anyone in the direct path of the storm can be in danger.

She figured out what just happens to occur during a backrub.
When she's venting about a problem is....well....the wrong time.

Just ordered my RL550C! Got the 38/357 kit to start with but will end up adding a few more. 45 Colt ,45 ACP, and 9mm are just haves. I already have quality die sets for each caliber so I will just need conversion kits and tool heads.
Congrats on your purchase!
Two must have items (IMO) are a light (see below link) and MORE primer pickup tubes.
There are various types of lights, I prefer the type that uses the middle hole in the loading block but there are others. The link shown is for an example, I don't know anything about the company in the provided link.

Most of the reports I am seeing that it will weaken a bit before landfall, but they are still expecting it to be a Cat 3 when it hits. The big question is going to be exactly where. North of Tampa will bring a huge storm surge to Tampa Bay, south of Tampa will push the water into the bay at Port Charlotte. The latest Storm Surge map from the National Hurricane Center is below. This is on top of whatever the tides are at the moment of impact. (I think this will auto update as the reports change.)
Regardless of where it hits, there is going to be a lot of damage to a lot of areas that are still rebuilding from Ian in 2022 as well as the folks still trying to assess the damage from Helene just a little over a week ago. From the videos on YouTube, may of those areas still have huge piles of debris out on the streets from Helene waiting to be disposed of. All of that is going to add into the mix of incoming water.
Folks basically have today and most of tomorrow to prepare. Batten Down The Hatches, Pack Up, and Get The "H" Out Of The Way!
Stay Safe!
We boarded up but if we get hit with 160 mph winds...it isn't going to matter much.

News this AM says it’s now a Cat 4 and may strengthen to a Cat 5 before land fall.
It's a Cat 5 now packing 160 mph winds.
It's looking pretty grim. No matter where this hits, damage is going to be extreme.

Only if it's shaken, not stirred.

Note that he doesn't say he catches them. Lots of chutzpah thinking he can run one down.
After drinking a couple of Dos Equis and chasing whitetail...probably wouldn't be able to do much by the time he caught one.

Wife and daughter just got home from Wisconsin and it looks like both of them are going to fly out if they can to try and load some stuff up in her car and board up the house again and then go inland somewhere. I also hope and pray for all those cowboys and cowgirls that are caught in the dilemma of what to do about Land Run next week. Just stay safe.

Please remind her that she doesn't have to go far. A study structure that is not in a flood zone is all that's needed. Hide from the wind, run from the water.
We're going to board up tomorrow. Trimmed what little tree branches that could harm the roof and most of the stuff is already still in the shed from a few days ago. We are going to go to her cousin's house that was built in the 50's and is about 45' above mean high tide mark. House is built like a tank also...that's back when they used real wood to build a house and trusses. His place is only 15 minutes from us so no re-entry problems into our county.
Hopefully everything will work out, but I don't know....this one looks real nasty, dire predictions. I've never really worried before about a hurricane or storm, this one concerns me. Mrs. Sun is really scared.
We'll monitor the path closely, see what happens and take (hopefully) the appropriate action.

The 4PM Saturday update shows it wiggling to the north of Tampa Bay just a bit. Looks like landfall is going to be at my front door!
Still a long way to go, and a lot can happen, but damn, barely 10 days apart.
Buckle Up!
I need it to go south of Tampa Bay. That way it blows the water out of the Intercoastal and Tampa Bay.
