DMan77 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The models are still all over the place. It's everywhere from off the coast of the Atlanatic to across the state and off the coast in the Gulf... I have friends in the US Virgin Islands and they're very worried...

batman10023 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 when do we get a little better sense of where this is going to hit? it appears to me that by tomorrow evening it will be closer to land and perhaps a better sense of the path? or does that not make sense.

RoadFan Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 In Sarasota. Gulf Coast almost half way up. Many places are totally cleaned out of bottled water, fuel, etc. Banks are busier than hell... people pulling out cash left and right for travel money and/or in case of power outages. Lots of people in varying degrees of nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path will keep updating as it moves and more data is collected. But the headline here is, it is very likely going to gobsmack Florida. Maybe all of it. The good news is Texas will probably be spared a 2nd hit. The bad news is Florida is probably going to take a severe beating. It could all change very quickly though so keep monitoring right up until a few hours from landfall and if you are in a mandatory evacuation area, I'd listen.

Really isn't all that much you can do. Put the storm shutters up (Friday) secure the kayaks, and pray.

jetscrazey Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Euro model still says Naples and up the west coast of Florida to Tampa. GFS model still says a track up the east coast of Florida (worst case scenario for Miami --> West Palm beach). We'll see which one wins out....

the Claw Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The wife and I are thinking of making the move from Chicago to st Petersburg. We're carefully watching the path this storm takes. I really hope everyone will be ok. Could be a serious mess if this storm hits land as hard as they're predicting. Good luck to all our forum members in FL.

billo83 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I live in South Florida and I'm definitely getting out of town, actually flying up to Minnesota.

Jetster Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just built a new home in Beaufort SC & praying right now. Up in NH now where we live in the northeast the news I'm seeing is freaking me out a bit. Mathew hit the area really hard & that was a category 1.

I know there is already an evacuation order in place for the tourists effective today - but I'm not sure when it is going into effect for the local residents. Either way, as long as they are on the road early Thursday morning, they have plenty of time to get where they are going well in advance of the storm.
