Hurricane Ian makes landfall in western Cuba as a Category 3 storm, threatening a path of destruction as it churns toward Florida

125 mph at 4am advisory, and bearing down on Western Cuba.  Winds according to forecast are to peak at 135 mph tomorrow, and then start deminishing tomrrow, but gradual enough, that when FL sees it, it will still be a strong Cat 2 or weak Cat 3. 

This slightly better news is the fact now that there is a pretty strong cold front diving southward into the gulf late Wednesday.  That interaction will help the storm have to share convection and energy with low in the front. One other bit of good news, is that Ian has lost its beautiful classical symetrical form, and the storm is significantly more convection laden on the east side.  Looks like a fairly dry wedge of air is getting pulled into Ian at about 86W.  This is good news too, and should help further development.

Still though, a lot can change in the next 72-96 hours, and everyone north of 26N in Florida should rush to complete preparing, and evacuation if in cone and directed, and keep an eye on this if they aren't.

Maybe some prayers were answered?

Latest track and trend for Ian at 8 am has shifted northward about 30 or 40 miles.  TB is definitely still not out of the woods, and is still in the cone, but the overall track is now again about 40 miles north of the bay itself.  Why?  As intense as this storm is, it's hurricane force wind sphere is relatively small for monsters like this.  Right now, that wind field (75 mph) is about 30 miles from center.

Has Tampa Bay dodged a bullet?  We don't know realliy yet, but their prospects are a hell of a lot better than they were 8 hours ago, based on NHC progs.

Hey @roamer_1  - just checking in.  We had reservations twice out of here then cancelled as they predicted north FL first, then Tampa, now they are predicting a Cat 4 to be right on top of us with a high storm surge.  So praying.  Our neighbor next to us (I finally met him) is staying and our neighbors next to them are also staying. They had mandatory evacuations but we were not included in that evacuation but we are still vulnerable.  Lots of FL is vulnerable.

We have all the windows shuttered with hurricane code compliant shutters, garage is hurricane compliant and stained glass front door is supposed to be hurricane resistant so, we'll soon find out.  Home is 5 years old and hopefully was built to current hurricane codes.

So.... bracing for impact and praying.

Electric cars??? Good luck trying to get out of FL with traffic backed up with parking lot like conditions.  People have died on the Eway trying to leave the state in the past because they ran out of gas. 

DeSantis though has addressed the state of FL several times and first responders, and the national guard are already gearing up.  I believe the governor will handle things well.  It doesn't sound like he's relying on FEMA, which is a good thing.

Yes, TB has dodged a bullet -- they will see minimal storm surge and maybe a Cat 1

Yes, we have a generator that I believe will run the air and the refrigerator -- we have a gas caddy filled with gas.

Believe me, I so so much appreciate the prayers.

I will touch base when I can -- we are supposed to see the worst tomorrow around noon until middle of Thursday.  We have a solar charged radio and cell phone charger.  The last hurricane took out a couple of cell towers, so who knows.
