So I'm gonna be in Atlanta Wednesday morning through Friday evening. I see a large storm is going to rip through north Florida / south Georgia. Should I be concerned?

Alternatively, should I be concerned about my dad? He's driving some family north from Tampa to Atlanta Wednesday morning.

You shouldn't be concerned, now your dad on the other hand, yeah. Could you ask your dad to leave like today or tomorrow instead? Because the worst is supposed to hit on Wednesday.

Wednesday morning is too late, this thing will be likely making landfall early Wed morning

Lol well there goes our family vacation plans. I guess maybe he could delay until Thursday morning?

Good thing everyone else will be coming in from the north instead of directly through a Cat [0-4] hurricane.

The place we're staying at is booked for Wed-Friday, so he'd have to find somewhere for 4 people to stay Tuesday evening. I guess we'll figure it out.

Lmao, it would be far better to leave early, not later

Okay, to give an example, since you're from the north, would you advise someone to leave an area before a severe snowstorm hits or after it hits?

I love the NAM (it has a bias to go too deep with tropical systems). This would likely be Cat5, but the probability of this happening is maybe 5% at best.

Still early but it doesn't sound like my dad is changing his travel plans/timing. Godspeed Florida man :patriot:

edit: itinerary is leaving Tampa around mid-morning Wednesday morning and arriving in Atlanta around 3-4 pm. He's gonna be driving right through the center of the storm for like at least a hour.

Clark Griswold loading luggage onto the top of the family truckster during a cat 4 hurricane. Each time he places a piece of luggage on the roof rack it flies away until he looks down and there is no more luggage left. Then a 2X4 travelling at 120mph impales him through the groin.

That said, airports would make lousy loving shelters. The amount of food there is illusory and restocked daily - the entire building would be picked clean of every calorie within a day's time.

I don't think anyone's going to be leaving Tampa itself in large numbers as the storm appears to be hitting well north of it.

FlamingLiberal posted:

He's already outside Tampa, he lives in one of the meth/opioid-addled suburbs north of it. Spring Hill I think? It sounded like the travel plan was to take I-75 north to Atlanta.

"Good thing I have an aerodynamic car!", he texted me just now. Clearly unconcerned.

Looks like the projections are for it to be about 110~ mph by landfall, decelerating to 65 mph over the course of the day.

It needs to actually rain to get the lake water onto the soil. The alternative is direct irrigation. It's been hot, dry, and windy for most of the past 3 months.

In fact now that I think of it, this is probably among some of the driest summers I can remember. We've had relatively few storms and nearly no mid-day cloudbursts that used to be really common.
