This time of year, the weatherman can't tell you what's going to happen from one day to the next, and they're calling this one a week away? Good luck with that!

First of all...it's not a hurricane...its a tropical storm. Second...it's never NOT been moving westward (towards the W or WNW)...so there is no already turned west. Cape Verde storms that head towards the mainland ALWAYS head west...before they turn northward.
And it doesn't have to hit Tampa to be a mess. If it comes anywhere close (and is strong) the surge will be an issue...and coastal evacuations are the last thing you want during your convention.
The simple margin of error in both track and intensity forecasting, and the fact the convention area is mostly in a Category 1 evacuation zone, and the fact that evacuations have to start well in advance of a possible landfall, means I thin there actually is a pretty high probably they have to delay or cancel the convention.
Woops!!
Sorry!
If I knew you were a Valkyrie, I would have been more polite. I thought you were a guy.
Guess I could use more wisdom. The only one I knew about was Brunhild.
Valkyries are really kind of romantic figures. There is something about a woman who has a weapon that turns me on!
Also, after consultation with my experts, I guess that would not be the best case scenario because of all the plans and scheduling which went into the convention.
Hopefully Thor or Somebody Else turns the Hurricane away from land.

Actually, I am a guy.
Sigi was the name of one of the two Norwegian Elkhounds I had down here in Miami. Wonderful dogs!
I guess I think females can hold their own. My wife was Panamanian (now a VERY proud US citizen), who knows about carrying weapons during Noriega (she is now also a proud member of the NRA). Most of us have never had to deal with that sort of thing. Jokingly, she may be to the right of Genghis Khan! :):):)
Yes ,from personal experience, “There is something about a woman who has a weapon that turns me on” “!)
Her stepdaughter is an SSGT, USMC.She is not someone I would want to meet on the “wrong side”.
We’re just preparing, as those of who have been through many of these before are doing. I worry more about the new arrivals, who seem to blow it all off.
As to whether it turns, it is in the Good Lord’s hands. We prepare because we were given brains for a reason.
Thanks.

Here I had this vision of a blonde, long-haired, blue-eyed damsel on a flying white horse, dressed in armor, her tresses cascading from beneath a horned helmet (which Vikings never wore), holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, Odin’s Raven beside her, as she soars over a battlefield..............
Well, I guess we all have our fantasies!!
Great post and great response. Sound like your family is made up of Real Americans, as Sean Hannity would say.
Have a great day :)
