One of the reason we didn’t move to Florida. I just didn’t like the idea have having the wind shred my house to pieces. Then looked at the home insurance prices, and that was a total deal breaker.
Oh boy, an NN first alert storm watch - a favorite time of year!!!!
Actually, thanking you in advance NN for all you do!
Unlike politics, this is actually useful!
I understand the need for a storm advisory based on a prediction, but to place much of Florida in a formal state of emergency when it’s not even raining cheapens the phrase “state of emergency” and conditions people not to believe what they actually see.
We go through this every year
They do pretty good with tracking predictions, not so much how powerful they can become, quickly.
Right now predicted to be TS or low end Cat 1 in big bend region, that’s a good place for it
I’ve been mentioning this to my family for days. They looked at me like I was crazy (I get that a lot anyway😄) and now we’re “in the cone”
NOT AGAIN! Still have PTSD from the last one 10/10/2018...
ONOZ...a SUPERDUPER Cat 6 Storm’s a brewin’...
GLOBUUUUUUUUULLLL WARMING!!!!
Upstate SC ping. Keeping an eye on this one.
Initial forecast models show as high as a cat 3-4 hurricane hitting the panhandle in 4 days.
Get your preparations done now, if you are anywhere in that area, to the bend of Florida

The 2nd Florida preparedness tax holiday started today. Stock up on supplies.
Here’s the list of items and more details:
Be sure to exercise that generator if you haven’t recently.
Thank you NN. Watching and prepping from SC. Where I am it is always the wind and rain that warrants preparedness. Downed trees and loss of power are of most concern. Always appreciate your heads up and due diligence during silly season.
I think someone told me this was the same path Cat 5 Hurricane Michael took. The eye of Michael went right over our house and destroyed much of Mexico Beach through Panama City. Lots of damage still remains since that October 2018 storm.
Thank you for this thread. We finally moved back into our house about two months ago. Flooded out from Ian in Cape Coral. Be safe!

Actually, this particular storm is not an entirely bad thing. A tropical depression or small hurricane will help break the drought that most of the state has suffered from this year and will act as a tune up for preparation against a major hurricane.
Harbor Freight has plenty of generators of all types and sizes right now. They stocked up. Standard prices, too.
We’ve been trying to get a 30kw diesel generator installed for the past several months but prices have been $33,000 to $77,000 estimated for what should be no more than $23,000 installed. So, we just bought a 9500 watt generator today to power the 220 volt sewer lift pump, and other things. We have another generator but it only provides 120 volt power. This is a good piece of mind until the permanent generator can be installed.
Great. We need the rain.
