Waiting for the next update.
Cnn is showing the Florida tip, the Keys and the middle to east coast of the state as being in direct line of the storm now. Stay safe down there folks

Stick with the NHC site. No BS and hype. Read the Discussion for the path the forecaster has predicted.

South Florida is now out of the cone but still expecting tropical storm force winds up to 74 mph. Prepping just in case it swings back.
awesome, thank you
I wish they'd go back to calling it the "cone of probability".
It's probably gonna hit somewhere in that cone. Might not, but probably will.
"Cone of uncertainty" sounds like they don't know what they're doing, and could go anywhere else with equal "probability".

I was going to run the Army 10-miler in DC this Sunday morning with my young lieutenant son. Looks like I will be sitting thru it in Raleigh this Saturday. My son is pissed. At least it looks like a daytime hit. Ironically, we will be moving to Melbourne Fl next summer. Looks like they are going to get the first landfall on our coast. I'm sure my brother is putting shutters closed now.

Save the MOPARS.
I remember a fellow at work having to go and repair his house roof down there after Andrew.
It is Florida after all.
Hurricanes will come.
The old timers talked about building codes with pored cement used to tie the block together.
And the wisdom was that beach houses would be one story bunkers.
With throw away furniture.
Now? Well, money.

Could move to Indiana, we just have to dodge tornadoes...

"Mandatory evacuation" here starting at 3 pm Wed, after that time you must follow the designated evacuation route. I'm leaving early, hopefully everyone else doesn't have the same idea!
Be careful bud
Of all the naturally occurring weather disasters, I'll take hurricanes.
You get the most notice and planning time (a week or more) and can actually see the progress and predict the path.
Not so with:
Tornado
Earthquake
Landslide
Flood (non hurricane related)
Volcano

Taking the cars to a parking garage near me, at least they'll be covered. Just leaving my truck at the house. Should be here Thursday night, fingers crossed!
