Floridians urged to prepare for potential major hurricane
 
https://www.tbnweekly.com/article_3e..._medium=social

Quote:

National Hurricane Center forecasters say there is “increasing confidence” that Tropical Storm Ian will strengthen into a major hurricane as it approaches the west coast of Florida early next week.

A major hurricane means the possibility for multiple life-threatening hazards: storm surge, hurricane-force winds and rainfall flooding.

Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency order Friday afternoon for 24 counties including Pinellas and others in Tampa Bay and along the west coast. He expanded that order to include the entire state on Saturday afternoon.

“This storm has the potential to strengthen into a major hurricane and we encourage all Floridians to make their preparations,” DeSantis said in a press release. “We are coordinating with all state and local government partners to track potential impacts of this storm.”

Pinellas County Emergency Management is keeping a close eye on the storm and encouraging residents and guests to do the same. Updates from county government will be posted at www.pinellascounty.org, on Facebook @PinellasCountyNews and Twitter @PinellasCoNews.

The county opened its information center on Saturday. Citizens can call 727-464-4333 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. to get information on hurricane preparedness. Residents who are deaf or hard of hearing can contact the center using online chat at www.bit.ly/PinellasChat.

As of 11 a.m., Ian was about 270 miles south-southeast of Kingston Jamaica and 520 miles southeast of Grand Cayman. Maximum sustained winds were 45 mph.

Significant strengthening was forecast over the next several days as Ian moves into a lower shear environment over very warm waters. Forecasters say rapid intensification is likely while the storm crosses the northwestern Caribbean Sea.

NHC’s latest intensity forecast shows Ian becoming a hurricane with maximum winds of 74 mph by late Sunday. Forecasters say Ian could reach major hurricane strength (Category 3 or above with winds of 111 mph or higher) as it approaches Cuba Monday night.

Ian is expected to pass over Cuba quickly with little land interaction and remain a major hurricane as it moves over the eastern Gulf of Mexico on its way to the west coast of Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ian was moving to the west at 15 mph and was expected to continue to move westward through Saturday night before making a turn to the northwest on Sunday. The storm is then expected to make a north-northwestward turn on Monday and then turn northward on Tuesday.

If the track forecast proves true, Ian’s center should move across the central Caribbean Sea today, pass southwest of Jamaica on Sunday and then move near or over the Cayman Islands Sunday night and early Monday. Ian should be near western Cuba late Monday and emerge over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday.

Forecasters say that it is too soon to say exactly what hazards Ian might bring or where the storm might go; however they urge residents in Cuba, Florida Keys and Florida peninsula to ensure they have their hurricane plan in place and are following any advice given by local officials, as they closely monitor updates to the forecast.

Limited flash and urban flooding is possible with rainfall across the Florida Keys and Florida peninsula through mid next week.

Pinellas County Public Works has begun checking and preparing the county’s stormwater drainage system to reduce the risk of flooding. Residents are advised to inspect and clear their gutters and nearby storm drain inlets of debris to help prevent flooding.

ALTERNATE DATES, SITES

Article 9 In instances under these emergency procedures which require the Commissioner to reschedule a
regular-season game, he will make every effort to set the game for no later than two days after its originally
scheduled date, and he will attempt to schedule the game at its original site.

If unable to do so, he will
schedule it at the nearest available facility. If it is impossible to schedule the game within two days after its
original date, the Commissioner will attempt to schedule it on the Tuesday of the next calendar week in
which the two involved clubs play other clubs (or each other).

Most of us here in FL already have ourselves prepared...we always keep a storage closet full of supplies during Hurricane season. For the most part we just have to "top off the tank" of little things.

I just had a brilliant idea. We should put a giant fan in Florida to blow the hurricanes toward the American west. That way the hurricanes can put out the forest fires.

The farther out they are they tend to move slower than those cones show on the NHC website and they move further out. I could see this thing going right to the panhandle where they always seem to go.

I have a friend from Florida that just freaks out every spring when the sirens start with the tornado warnings. I've tried to tell him that just because there might be conditions which favor a tornado, it's not a hurricane and they are not predictable.

When you lose power in the heat, is when you really notice the lack of basements.

Fortunately, I have propane generator backup.

Out here in the Bay Area it never freezes and we have mild temp all year round. Rarely does it hit triple digit temps and there basically no humidity. Convertible weather year round.

Meh. It’s just two different forms of extreme weather.

It’s no more uncomfortable to be cold than it is to be hot. It’s no more expensive to run the heat than it is to run the AC.

People in the south have this crippling fear of cold weather like it’s ****ing torturous when they’re being advised by weather agencies to stay inside for 1-2 weeks every summer because of the extreme heat.

“Just drink water” you say? Okay. Then just wear a ****ing coat. It’s not hard.

For all you hurricane noobs….. the storm that’s trekking like this one….. they have no idea where or even if will turn util it gets past Cuba. There are upper level winds in the atmosphere that dictate steering of the hurricane. So until it gets past Cuba, they are guessing.

Yep you're the CA hater on CP I was mentioning. Please point at the doll where CA touched you.

Haven't had my power cut at all. I can't remember the last time I had my power shut off but I'm sure you remember the last time when a Hurricane came through and shut your power off.

It's a little bit better than guessing or having no idea.

But yea, not an exact science this far out.

It doesn't get hot enough in Florida for heat advisories. At least not that I've seen.

That sounds like more of a desert thing, like in Arizona and Texas.

I wouldn’t mind them moving the game to New Orleans. I’m excited about this game since it could potentially be the last Brady-Mahomes matchup, but if my vacation changes from Tampa to New Orleans it opens up the weekend to a lot more fun. Aside from the potential big Red Friday party on the beach there is nothing that excites me about visiting Tampa for a weekend.

Yeah, if you know how you dress yourself, the cold really isn't that bad. It's the humidity you can't escape if you're outside.

I never lost power once, but this was the longest and hottest heat wave on record in California. Over 1000 heat records were broken. This is a much more rare weather phenomenon than hurricanes in Florida, why aren't you calling out your own state?

How many times has Florida been devastated by hurricanes? How many of those have resulted in significant power outages for large numbers of people? Why hasn't Florida "fixed the grid" to deal with a recurring weather phenomenon?

I never lost power once, but this was the longest and hottest heat wave on record in California. Over 1000 heat records were broken. This is a much more rare weather phenomenon than hurricanes in Florida, why aren't you calling out your own state?

I’ve lived in South Florida for nearly 40 years… including during Hurricane Andrew… and I’ve lost power maybe for a cumulative total of 48 hours.

And I have never once had to deal with getting frantic text alerts from the state’s power operator, pleading to conserve power with the threat of blackouts as happened in California during their alleged “heat wave” a few weeks ago.

Yes, it was a myth, successfully propagated around the country. Busted.
