OT: Weather (just weather)

Sounds like Tampa might take a direct hit from a Cat 3. Anyone down there stay safe or get out if you can. 

[LGR4GM]

Predicted storm surge in and around Tampa Bay is 5-10ft.

Cat 4 expected to hit Fort Myers tomorrow with a 8-12ft storm surge all but guaranteed. If you are near the coast and in the path, gtfo.

Looks like you are getting your wish.  Hope all is and will be well.

Careful what you wish for. Hurricanes aren’t blizzards. You can’t just walk down the gas station to get another 30 pack. They are long and they suck.

I keep telling my wife this every time she tries to get me to move to a hot and flat state. I gently remind her that no one ever had the ocean in their living room when they lived on a mountain.

Here in north Texas I pretty much just have the twisters to contend with.  We have 4 seasons but winter is only a week or so.  It's finally turning into Nice Fall (65 degrees at 11:45 pm.... aaaahhhhh).

Got hit by a worse hurricane when I lived in the mountains of NC than I just did by Ian. Still without power at my place, but no issue going out for dinner yesterday.

But I'm betting the ocean wasn't inside your living room. That's all I was saying. I'll take catastrophic blizzards and Donner Party levels of snow. But water in my house can f* right off. Especially when that water has alligators in it! No thank you.

That's unnecessarily cold. My condolences. It's going to be pretty chilly here on Saturday. 25. 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

It's so cold (-11) this morning that there is ice on the inner bay and smoke on the outer bay.

Still expecting -26 and feels like -43 early Saturday morning.

The man is talking temps in C not F. It's cold, but not THAT cold. 

And if you want cold, you need to go no further than the upper Adirondacks near Lake Placid...

tomorrow the high/low is supposed to be -9/-25 F not C, and wind on top of that making wind chills 45-50 below zero.

I mean, -25C is -13F, thats pretty cold lol. And at -40 they are actually both the same.

They're saying this blast will be generational. If it blows through Buffalo: only very good.

Old post, but I just read it now.

I lived in Florida (Daytona Beach) in the decade of the 2000's.  Hurricane Charly basically came right over my apartment. Lost power for a week, the following days there was no AC, no fans, no long lasting food in the refrigerator to eat, and no way to heat stuff up. After a day or two when the roads were clear, I drove an hour north to a mall that was fully open to walk around the the Air conditioning and eat at the food court every afternoon.

But the comment about the Alligators got me thinking of something.  The following week I was going back to work and on my way out of town stopped at a supermarket in Port Orange or new Smyrna (20 years ago, I forgot which one).  The store wasn't even right on the water, it was a half mile inland, but it got so much flooding that when it did open back up, there were dozens (if not 50-100) frogs all over the store, in the aisle, jumping around.  You also could see on the floor itself and a few inches up on the walls where the water had been.

I have relatives in South Florida now that can't even imagine why we want to live in the Northeast.  I spent a few years living in Florida, and I can't even imagine moving back to a place like that that is so hot in the summer and does't get at least a couple months of winter.  To each their own I guess.

some people don't like cold and snow. Having said that. I wouldn't live in South Florida
