No where near another Ian

Full moon high tides coincidenced with storm landfall causing flooding but this storm is moving twice as fast as Ian and won't have near the level of destruction

Have noticed the media is overly careful in this forecast preempting programming when it was still hundreds of miles away...cya at max levels

25-30 mph winds. Some flooding on the coast due to high tide. 15mph wind and normal rain for me. My friends in cape coral never lost power and are good. My parents in St.Pete never lost power and are good. Family in Tallahassee got power outage but are good. Luckily a fast moving storm as Eagler said.

look at the devastation

from OP's article






I have friends over there. Ian dumped 25 inches in 24 hours. He lives near a creek. The creek came up tp his backyard but that was it.
They had 108 inches for the year and no flooding.

This is normal in Florida.

Just dont drink the msm koolaid.

I watched the weather channel this morning just for the comedic drama practiced by the hosts.

The storm was nothing compared to those in the past and would be best described as an angry thunderstorm.
