Well, the BAM now has the storm making landfall at Port St. Lucie and moving the eye straight up the I-95 corridor and a bit farther inland, which would be devastating for the inland counties (including myself) as well. Thankfully, that is also one of the less reliable models, so hopefully that doesn't happen.

I remember one of the hurricanes that hit here (NJ).. that fucker sat right here for 30 fucking hours.. I kept looking up at the windows wondering.... what will it be like in here when those windows cave in.. then.. what will it look like when the roof finally rips away... it just wouldn't stop

When it was over.. the sky was pristine and sunny... then looked around outside.. and the Russians had carpet bombed the area... outrageously huge and thick trees ripped out of the ground and thrown a hundred yards away... trees on top of cars and crashed into houses and roofs... surreal because it was a gorgeous day... not a passable road... no way for emergency help to get to anyone...

that was how it was for Katrina and Andrew here.
just not freaking stop pounding.

and then utter destruction with beautiful weather afterwards.

we got the rough side of Andrew in '92, the the "good" side of Katrina in '05.
Andrew flooded us down on the coast, but didn't do anywhere remotely close to the wind damages that Katrina brought.
Massive live oaks just snapped at the trunk for Katrina.

Well, had to run into the office for an hour to take care of a last minute change (was not happy with that), but I'm back home and finishing the prep. Turning the guest bedroom closet into a safe sleeping space with the guest bed mattress just in case. Hoping for the best, but the forecasts keep moving the heavy winds further inland.

Shifted the cone slightly east and downgraded to a 3. Was just looking at the radar and the storms coming off the outer wall are dying off quickly once they're coming on land, which should be a good thing. If that outer wall hits it obviously won't break up nearly as fast, but inland things are looking up.
