Map showing major hits since 1851. IIRC this is the one Bastardi drew/posted/tweeted yesterday.
God protect all our young men and women who are stationed at Patrick Air force base and Cape Canaveral. Hopefully they are all evacuated to safe distance now.
The ones that slam right into the shore and go inland cause the storm to weaken considerably as the eye hits land but, in this case, the eye may not hit land for quite some time. It will just sit right offshore with the Atlantic ocean providing sustained fuel.
Trump has property down there so it is the perfect excuse for him to show up as soon as it is safe to so so with water, ice, bedding, etc to pass out and act presidential. This could be a major step for him if he plays it right.
“Bastardi predicted late last night (Wed) that he thinks this will hit Jupiter, FL as a Cat 4, then weaken as it heads up the coast.”
I am less than 10 miles S. of Jupiter and on the coast. I boarded up Monday and left for Ft. Myers on Wednesday. I am happy with my decision. Thanks to all of you (esp. NN) that add positive info on these pages!
All good here in north broward. It looks like we got a lucky break and it veered east and away from us. 30-40 mph winds and some rain bands, but not much more. Hope all of you Florida freepers north of us fare equally as well. This is a big, nasty category 4 storm. Nothing to sneeze at.
Checking the Waffle House index.
