Ein Sexmonster posted:Charley was the first of the 3 that hit central FL that season. There was also Ivan which trashed the panhandle. It was a hosed up year Was Charley the first? poo poo, shows how drunk I was for that entire season haha. There wasn't enough time between hurricane parties to sufficiently sober up before the next one.

Yeah 2004 Major storms affecting Florida were Charley Frances Ivan and Jeanne. 2005 had Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. I'm in the property insurance industry in Florida and my general stress level is beginning to shoot up watching these forecasts.

flirty dental hygienist posted:Sarasota here. Charley wasn't bad for us, just some wind and a lot of rain, but it quickly subsided from what I remember. Not looking forward to this bullshit, but I'm not gonna worry about it. I just hope that this stupid storm doesn't gently caress up the Melvins show on the 16th. We're getting a Melvins show???

Hurricane is extremely homophobic, all models directly gently caress the Keys.

big nipples big life posted:I live at about the highest point in FL so if I don't get blown away I should be good because it won't flood here. This prompted me to look up the highest point in Florida. I'm at 200 feet above sea level so no worries there. Trees falling on everything is our concern up here.

 11 AM 5-day forecast updated to account for the northern curve. Pretty much all spaghetti models have it cutting straight up Florida at this point.

Looking at windy.com, they now show ECMWF as straight up florida, GFS as carving out the Florida tip through to Palm Beach then up the coast to hit Savannah. Those few degrees make a big difference !

Like, I have a few flats of bottled water I keep in the garage, and every so often my wife rolls her eyes at me about the space they take up; we're significantly inland but our town had significant flooding a few years back so I like to be prepared. Statistically speaking, for any given spot on the coast, a direct hit by a major hurricane is a once-every-twenty-years event, and even false alarms and near misses are once every few years or so, not consistent dangers. And on top of that you usually have a week or so of warning due to modern weather tracking.

So I have an earthquake kit that I replenish every year and we strap poo poo down. I don't know when that's gonna happen but I assume eventually it will.

gently caress this "too early to tell" bullshit. We don't pay these people to shrug their shoulders when I'm asking if a hurricane is going to gently caress up the entire east coast or not.  I live in New England and I wanna know right now if I should be looting and murdering before it's too late.

 Sarasota Costco: No Carts Also no more D batteries. Or generators. Or probably water now. EDIT I did pick up the last Yeti 1000 Lithuim power pack though. Generators are for outside, this thing can be inside. KakerMix fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Sep 5, 2017 |

My landlords live in the house next door and are intensely unconcerned, so I'm not worried. Gonna fill up the tub the day before, grab a half rack of stout, and watch the trees get hosed up.

Nerses IV posted:Aw poo poo I was gonna try and go there today, oh well! Seemed to have plenty of stuff otherwise, the biggest problem was people not understanding the concept of 'lines' but Costco had people all throughout the store rationing water and directing traffic so it went pretty smoothly. There was lots of seltzer water and stuff like that, lots of Cliff bars and dried goods. Good luck finding a cart though! Our neighbor was talking about how Home Depot was crazy as well but with plywood instead of water.

Mr. Nice! posted:trees falling and destroying everything i own would be great because i have good insurance and I'm not attached to poo poo. The house I just moved into is super set for hurricanes, except that the entire neighborhood (including my yard) has a bunch of giant old oak trees in it. On the one hand it means they've been there forever, and Matthew probably cleared out all the stuff that was going to come crashing down on my roof/car/self, but on the other hand, there's literally a 70 foot tall oak tree like 30 feet from my house so... not great. Also, if it comes up the east coast and any Melbourne-area goons need last minute help please let me know and I'll do what I can.
