Almost certainly. Although the biggest tragedy is that the only thing I had pre-downloaded to watch was the new LotR series.

hope the weather is nice in canada where the power is out. that's always the worst part of the storm aftermath in the southeast US, no A/C while outdoor conditions are at peak humidity from all the rain.

Couple of takeaways from that video.

There is currently a moderate chance for flooding from rainfall (this doesn't include storm surge) in the areas indicated in red:



Which could combine with these levels of possible storm surge:

Just once I want Tampa to get what it has coming to it for being a festering fetid backwash pit and have the whole area scoured clean after a hurricane hits a bullseye on the bay

If Tampa continues to elude justice, I will accept Destin and/or Pensacola as an acceptable substitute

in 2013 we went to dry tortugas on a long boat ride and everyone on the way there threw up (of note was one chinese boy who threw up all exaggerated-like, ie everytime he hurled, he'd loudly exclaim HUUUUUUUUUUUUUWAAAAAAACCCK!!! even while dry heaving for like ninety minutes) and I was holding strong, not throwing up until my wifefriend threw up into her paper sick bag and handed it to me so i could hand it to the boat counsellors walking around and i felt the wet heft of the bag and then I opened the bag for some reason and i threw up a lot OP

a slow storm inching up the coast just offshore is gonna create a ton of coastal flooding. definitely evacuate if youre near the west FL coast at low elevation.

Locking in on Tampa

My parents lucked out by selling their vacation home on a barrier island in Sarasota a few months ago. Was there by myself for a trop storm in '09 and remembering being super nervous about the water rising above the sea wall. Came within an inch or so. Would not want to be there for a cat 3 or 4

So much sewage and mining waste is going to get thrown into the bay. Red tide going to be a year round thing, killing all sea life in the bay.

DeSantis will have to have his erections drained every 4hrs until he is elected president in 2024, on the campaign promise of ruining the planet as much as he is able and as many lives as possible.

Yikes. We've also had a ton of rain this year, ground's quite wet compared to normal and there's gonna be more trees down than usual between that and the storm slowing down so much and exposing a lot of places to multiple days of wind.

storm surge usually shows the maximum possible forecasted, generally doesn't actually hit all those levels (knock on wood)

If it comes up the mouth of it like that it will absolutely hit 10'. Maybe more depending on tide.
