Who thought it was a good idea to name hurricanes after Sameless characters?
Just pulled out the generators and will be tightening up the property over the next 48hrs
Stay safe all in its path

Ever since I bought my Generac 24kw whole home generator, the power has not dropped once. Funny how that happens.
-
Our half Maltese half Chihuahua is named Ian. He wants to be a hurricane, he just can't
-
Good luck with the storm. I deal with power outages every time we get severe storms here in Ohio.
When power goes out my backup generator is the only thing that keeps my basement from flooding.
-
Shuffler...my wife keeps telling me to get a generator to back up our home when power fails.
Another thread perhaps,but how do you like your Generac system?

Assuming you meant shameless, who is the Ian character?
I know 2 guys with that name.

Be safe guys. I hope everything calms down and has minimal impact on you guys.

A long time ago, during my first marriage, I had a Chihuahua named Steve. He's dead now. The bad news is that his remaining owner isn't.
-
Another hurricane of great power. Ian is being predicted to stall off the FL coast for almost 2 days.

There is nothing unusual about the hurricane. Hurricanes happen and they have always happened. They're not getting more powerful or more frequent.
This one happens to be headed for Tampa, which is an extremely low lying area and they've dodged hurricanes for 100 years. That's the only thing unusual about it. Where it's tracking.

Nothing unusual except it is 2 very strong hurricanes back to back.

Work until 1pm today then we have a mandatory evacuation. Heading to the east after finding a pet friendly hotel in Orlando.

Shameless yes
Ian was the younger gay brother that became gay Jesus in the series
New track has it up the mouth of Tampa Bay ...what has been feared since we moved to central Florida in 83 from NE Florida
Not our first but this is now routed as a cat 2 right over the house Wednesday night

LaQuinta Inn brand is pet friendly. We are going to ride this out in Brandon, Fl. Hopefully minimal damage though it appears to be coming right over us based on the latest update.

Well all of you in FL stay safe and hope the damage is minimal :pray

If you are not easily offended I would suggest the series..it was on Showtime to start...funny as heck...it actually had a decent series ending

Shameless is easily on my top 10 (probably top 5) shows list.

11am update shows the storm turning inland south of Tampa Bay..
Better but hope it turns in sooner than that...

Reminds me of Hurricane Charley that I experienced in orlando.

Stay safe.
A year ago I was ready to retire. Wanted out of California for a multitude of reasons and shopped around for a place to live. Looked at the south, but everywhere I looked there it was either hurricanes or houses in flood plains with the humidity. Looking midwest it was tornados..
Didn't want to be where it snowed so ended up in southern Nevada.
I hope everyone here in Florida dodges the bullet down there.
The biggest danger I face here is if the A/C stops working.. :aok

When storms come in here, east Texas, we hook up the 5th wheel RV and head to the Hill Country. Make a vacation out of it. I have always been well insured and just hope for the best.

I've worked most of the hurricanes that have hit the southern US in the last 25 years.
Any hurricane that strikes a populated area is bad.
Right now Florida has an estimated 30,000 linemen and support personnel staged for this storm. I'm in a stand-by cycle to travel after the damage has been initially assessed.
Its not gonna be good, but it may not be as bad as media and doomsayers want it to be. I've traveled for hurricanes that were nowhere near as bad as the media hyped them up to be.

I'll tip you nicely if you can get my power back on in less than the two weeks it took after Charley. We went about five weeks total (three storms right over us) without power that season.

1203am September 28 in south Sarasota. 76 degrees, light rain, ENE wind at 20mph.

Hang tough, Chui. Good luck.

Ty, i don’t think it will be that bad, it looks to possibly hit about 40 miles to the south
-
Almost a Cat 5, depending on the area storm surge up tp 12 ft, rain possible 20".
Good news it looks like the eye waill pass south of Tampa but heads inland.

Track just south puts cat 1 hurricane 38 miles se of the house at 2am tomorrow morning...will be an interesting 24hrs
Stay safe Chris, brother in law in Bradenton will probably see flooding as they did with Irma

It’s getting pretty nasty now. The center looks to be 60 miles or so south south west of the house

Thank you, i have a 2 story concrete block house, I don’t think I have much to worry about. My biggest concern is being without electricity which is inevitable I think.
-
The eye is currently 35 miles south. Surprisingly enough other then a brief two shot on a recloser the power is still on.

We'll likely be in the eye after midnight. I doubt I get that lucky. :pray

Winds are crazy and its still 2hrs south
High point 2am for us
Stay safe

UPS on cable modem and tv setup are life savers
With all the power blinks about every 15 to 20 min now everything would be in constant reboot status without them
Gusts over 50mph now and its still hours south

CNN reporters aren't that bright.They had a reporter, think it was Berman, who was complaining about the water in his rubber boots. Idiot had the rain suit pants tucked into the boots instead of over the boots. :x

you should watch what tucker said about hurricanes.

If the occasional deep freeze doesn't disprove MMGW, the occasional hurricane can't PROVE it
-
The flip side to this storm is that it feels like a late November this morning..fantastic!
Sanibel Island is now stranded as the toll causeway washed away...it is the wife and I best get away out of all Florida beaches..
Ft Myers is toast
It took about the same path as Charlie but was much more powerful and massive
Praying it's the only one we get this season

We finally got power back last night around 9pm, some houses in the neighborhood lost but we were lucky no damage.
back to work today.

I lost half my shingles and most of the pool cage, other then that it could have been much worse. Never lost power though, although cell and internet just starting running again about 20 mins ago

Hope it doesn't chase even more home owners insurance companies out of the state...
State run Citizens insurance is crap and now insurers the majority...

Wonder if the NG can lay a pontoon bridge to Sanibel? You could be a rich man down there if you had a ferry

It was not the greatest of videos, just of my screen starting to go and shingles flying off my neighbors roof. All in all my neighborhood got lucky. Never lost power, just cellular communications. Even my dad’s townhouse in placida which took the eye came off reasonably unscathed. No flooding or surge damage, just some exterior damage. Which is amazing because the unit backs directly out onto a canal.

You're not kidding. The timing of that cold front could not have been better. We're usually sweating our arses off for days after a hurricane. I was told we're up to over 50% with power here in Polk.
-
We just got our power back at 6:10am this morning in Lithia, Fl. The weather the last couple days has been amazing but I'm glad to have my A/C back. I feel terrible for the Ft. Myers area. So sad to see the devastation. We were supposed to take the boat down to Cape Coral for spring break in a few months but I don't see that happening now. I can't imagine the area will be even remotely recovered by then.

On top of high tide which would make it even higher.

Some quite surprising data in that link.
Wondering what Ft. Myers will look like when rebuilt vs. that data with the “equity” proposals. $248K median home value…what will it cost in a few years, time to buy?

After Andrew in 1992, it became nearly impossible to buy homeowners insurance in the Miami area, so the idjit state government decided to assume the risk and sell the insurance. I forget who, but some smart governor realized what a taxpayer catastrophe it would be had yet another Andrew hit and squashed that practice
-
The government needs to get out the flood and crop insurance business, premiums would go up substantially but it would save the taxpayers a ton.

Money better spent modernizing the US infrastructure after a natural catastrophe then send billions around the world trying to buy friends imo

Yes... when there was no seawall and no weather alert. They never saw that coming.
