Its current path is headed right for Dry Tortugas National Park.  I hope Fort Jefferson, etc., is okay.

They cut my legs off.  BUT, they were kind enough to paste them back on.

Ah yes. Hip replacement... I beg your pardon...  But there's a lot of cowgirls hereabouts, so perhaps you can understand my immediate reaction. :)

@Wingnut You are not setting a very good example for us kids with your language.  On the other hand, you helped neighbors get ready for a hurricane, so you're setting a very good example for us kids with your actions.  I guess since actions speak louder than words I can't say too much... Plus, I *may* have said that word sometime in the past myself so...

@Wingnut - I forgive your language- I just want you to be safe. You too @RoosGirl

I hope your doggies won't be too crazy. My cat went bonkers during Irene and Sandy. I finallly crated her. (To calm her)

@RoosGirl

@Freya They don't normally react to thunder and lightning and although they aren't crazy about it will go out in the rain to go potty, so I'm not too worried about them.  The worst part will be all of us sharing one room if the power goes out and we set up our generator to run a small, portable A/C unit we have.

I'm getting to meet a bunch of my wife's family I haven't met in the 15th years we've been married. Took in 10 relatives from Tampa who bugged out ahead of the hurricane.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It is moving North in terms of latitude. But it is true that it is moving NorthWest rather than due North. With my amateur eyes, it looks like it is heading more for Louisiana area, or maybe the panhandle, more than it is tracking toward mainland Florida. I don't know. It's weird. From where it is now, it is going to have to make a sharp right to hit FL. But if it keeps going like it is now, it will wind up in Biloxi, Mobile, or Pensacola. IMHO


Well I'll be damned. The thing did it. It took a sharp right, almost 90 degree turn to almost straight North. I am no weatherman, and that just seems weird to me.


I can picture Siri saying, "For Florida, turn right now."


And it did it. All this time I was sure it was heading straight for the gulf. That surprised me.

I am amazed it turned like that. Back to a cat 4. The keys are going to get hammered. If they aren't already.

Bear hunting involves beer and guns and also fishing.

Hanging plywood is kinda like work.  Totally different.

Same here.  I have been watching and tracking storms for decades, and have never seen a storm this strong, this  large, and fast (going 8 mph) turn on a dime.

When these things usually happen they slow down to near stop first.

Oh, Good Lord, yes.  I had the news coverage on for about 5 minutes.  Had to turn it off. Why do these news people have to stand outside in the wind and rain to tell us that --by golly -- it's WINDY and RAINING!!!!!

@Applewood


Had the same thought just a couple of minutes ago. I always wonder, when I see those guys, do they have their own food and water? Where are they going to stay when it hits? Does the network they work for have some kind of magic helicopter that is going to pull them out at the last minute.


Anyway, I agree. That has always confused me too. Especially when all they have to do if they want to monitor the conditions of a particular location, is to put up a live-cam and then get the hell out.

There has been some backlash about putting weather reporters in harm's way.

Reminds me of a story from my dad. He was going through Yellowstone and a bunch of cars were stopped along side the road. He stopped to see what they were all looking at. He had to climb a small rise to see. It was a big bull buffalo, tossing its head, slinging snot, and pawing the ground. Some guy was trying to get a pic of it with his wife. He was telling her "get a little closer honey". Dad turned and left. I saw a vid a while back. Same scenario with a guy getting a little loser. The buffalo flipped him up about 20 feet head first into a pine tree.
