By the looks of that model, everyone should just take a nice 10 day trip to Turks and Caicos.

I think the Turks and Caicos got brushed by this same hurricane earlier in the week.

You got another 12 hours. GTFO. you only have to get 10 miles away or so to escape the storm surge.

It's not the storm surge it's the ****ing wind

Most structures will survive the wind (especially post-Hurricane Andrew with enhanced building code requirements).

The storm surge is usually what kills people in these storms.

Here is an interesting article on how hurricanes get their name. It use to be all female names but apparently women were getting offended at that so now it is male and female names.

The names rotate every six years so the same name could pop up every six years. The exception to that rule is if the hurricane is determined to be particularly damaging are retired for legal and historical reasons. For example, the use of the name Katrina was retired in 2005 following the devastating impact that Hurricane Katrina had on New Orleans.

Yep

If you live near the water, GTFO.

They are saying the storm surge is going to be between 6-10 feet (not counting the wave action) in Daytona Beach. I hope you are on some very high ground, good luck.

Riding out the storm in Miami where it won't be too bad.

Stay safe for those up in Palm Beach and north... it looks like you'll get the worst of this.

We decided to squat at her folks house about 10 miles further inland right on the Palm Beach/Martin county line. Helped put up the shutters last night and this morning. I'll keep the Planet posted as I am able. Stay safe everyone else. Thanks for the well wishes...
