Click on the hurricane on the map for an array of forecast materials. This could be quite bad.

Honestly surprised there’s anyone in the country named “Bruiser” who’s not in Stockton for Sonny Bather’s funeral.

Natural disasters oftentimes place a spotlight on government leaders and it will be interesting to see how DeSantis fares - I’m going with not so well.

A lot of folks still prefer low taxes and no regulation to the risk of getting wiped off the planet.

Great tune from a great album side. Shouldn’t complain much about the chillier weather here in Illinois.

Like many folks in Illinois I have relatives in Florida. Wishing the best for them and the rest of the Floridians.

“Chicago gets bypassed again” - Kristen McQueary probably /s

Vern, obviously Bruiser is a dog and someone else in Rich’s household posted the daily intro message. 🧐

Headline: Florida Residents Want DeSantis To Treat Them Like Illegal Aliens and Flown North /s

Seriously, hope everyone stays safe in the Sunshine State.

===Kristen McQueary===

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, a very long time.

Since March 3rd, only 2 tweets.

Her “insight” has not been forgotten

Right now it sounds Ft. Myers might be missed, but Tampa-St. Pete are wearing the bullseye

I have a couple friends right in the hard path and some in states after that may get hit and who are worried. prayers for all.

Yes it has.

I see what you did there, that’s pretty solid. Good stuff

Maybe the reason McQueary is out of the picture… it’s not wholly her choice?

Who knows.

Glad to have my 5th COVID vax yesterday (third booster).

Some people on here appear to have 2 or 3 names. Pick one.

My widowed stepmother is in Fort Myers. Am keeping eye on storm track. So far it seems Fort Myers may get brushed by the hurricane.

There is a good NHC KMZ file to keep track of hurricanes using Google earth.

==Right now it sounds Ft. Myers might be missed, but Tampa-St. Pete are wearing the bullseye==

The most recent NHC forecast track (11am Eastern) moves the track south and east. Good news for Tampa, bad news for Fort Meyers. The biggest storm surge flooding will be south of where the eye makes landfall; north of the eye, the winds will blow the water away from the shore.
