Columbiafan Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 9 minutes ago, 181pl said: If it shifts any more west were F'd. The geography of Tampa Bay is unique. It is a very shallow body of water (less than 100 feet) and it has a low lying peninsula (S. Tampa, where I live) in the middle. If the hurricane hugs the coast, the counterclockwise wind will push all of the water in our bay over peninsular Tampa. If it is a strong enough hurricane, we'll have water to or over our roofs. No place to run. I'm boarding up tonight and hauling ass tomorrow if it shifts any more west. Roads are backed up and most gas stations are out If you going to try evacuation i advise you just head to a centralized location in Florida that would be away from storm surge and ride out the wind and rain Trying to leave state this late would be nearly impossible and you would likely run out of gas before getting out of Florida 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 It still doesn't look like it's ready to turn boys. This thing may get into the gulf. These weather nerds haven't been right about much on this path at all. The original track their computer models showed when it first hit cat 5 is the one it's on now. It hasn't even bobbled to the north at all. Actually it bobbled a little south and has landfell on the Cuban coast a little now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ur post is exactly why I don't trust this global warming. These fucks can't predict weather patterns and we are supposed to believe what they are calling in 50 yrs? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ur post is exactly why I don't trust this global warming. These fucks can't predict weather patterns and we are supposed to believe what they are calling in 50 yrs? I agree to an extent. They can make pretty good educated guesses at stuff like this storm track though. They kept thinking the front that was sagging southward would steer it, but the Bermuda high out there has been stronger than that front so far. Supposedly there is a bow in the jet stream around the Oklahoma region that is going to continue to drop and force the turn northward. I'm no weather man, but, I've been watching this thing and thought all along it would get into the gulf. It just never has even bobbled. I know they try to err on the side of caution to protect lives, but it's the missed calls like this that eventually cause people to not trust them and stay instead of evacuate.

If it stays over water... it'll hit us as a 3 or 4 or the rarity it holds steam and stays as a 5... not impossible Ive done some research. Hurricanes that do hit GA have a tendency to stall over GA.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does landfall around Naples or so and stays over land all the way up to Georgia, tropical storm force to cat 1 will be it. Even that can be pretty catastrophic here because of the trees. Power out for days even. Not really looking forward to that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a Negative Nancy but I have this feeling itll hug the coastal waters and keep Strength as a 3 or 4 and slam into us and Tallahassee...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 And another one... Hurricane Jose... looks like its going Northeast. But if theirs one thing ive learned. You can't predict a Hurricane this early... If Jose goes Northwest... Jacksonville(FL),Savannah,South Ga in General will be right in the Brute range of it....
