Yeah, it didn’t look like it had gotten “too” bad compared to what some forecasts had shown (shocker, right?).

I think we got a little extra rain out of it here in North Texas.

In those places, it’s not about the power of the storm but rather how much rain is dumped uphill and how it makes it’s way back to the ocean.

It has sure dumped some rain all the way up here!

My step son and his family live right in the center of the path of the hurricane just barely on the west side of the eye. He said the kids went out to play in the rain and he spent time smoking some chicken on the grill. They never lost power or had any issues.

Best side of a hurricane to be on.  Most people do not realize how much difference that makes when one of these rolls through.

Where are my Florida peeps at?  Hope they're overhyping this storm like they do most others.

It has delayed our trip to the in-laws..

In the cone either place but would rather be in a brick home than a 40ft 5th wheel..

Hoping to get on the road Friday if it passes as quickly as they say it might

I noticed they had downgraded its potential to a Cat 2 this morning.  Yesterday a few meteorologists were screaming the possibility of a Cat 5.  Definitely wouldn't wanna go through a hurricane in a camper, regardless of strength.

We're supposed to be going to PCB at the end of next week.

They are saying it's a 3 maybe 4 but still guessing at this point

I just noticed that.  I guess it depends on which weather station you watch.  I know we are forecasted to get a lot of rain from it....again.

I only use the doppler radar. The radar on the news stations are designed to make it look much bigger. Also, I don't really trust their wind measurements as they will show the highest winds from the top of the storm and scare people with that, rather than note #s from the weather bouys which are generally significantly lower. For example, the one over Cayman Islands right now is showing 32 MPH on the NOAA app.  I'm hoping it will break up
or not be as strong before it passes through Florida tomorrow. Its a pretty nice day right now.

Big, little, fast, or slow..... just stay safe and keep an ear to the ground. Those tornadoes they spawn can catch you sleeping if you get too lazy.

A great, thoughtful original post to be sure. The followup stuff has been interesting as well.
 
To be honest however, I just saw this thread and looked in hoping to see who this "Francine" was and what she looked like.

A bit disappointed, frankly.

Oh, and the hurricane and tornado stuff? Leave me out, thanks. Had some terrifying stints with tornados in Texas and Iowa as a kid. I'll take my chances with earthquakes, Tsunami's and volcanos up here.

If anybody is interested in evacuation on the east side of the state and are contemplating evacuation, do not take I95.   

I95 has likely been a parking lot since yesterday.   

I’ve run into this before and simply took Rt. 1 or A1A.    Sure us1 has traffic lights but averaging 45mph is preferable.   

Once I got to I-10, i did the same thing because most highways have the roads they replaced running right next to the highway.

Looks like GA will get the brunt of it, and then break up in the mountains.

I hope to start seeing militias forming in the mountains. What the Fed is doing is criminal and they have it coming for them.

Cannot believe this devastation from what I've been hearing.

Look at FEMA. You see where their money went to this year and now there is a disaster, they have no funds left. Tell you right there what the leadership in this country cares for the most, and its not the american legal citizen.

None of these have any evidence that FEMA's specific Disaster Relief funding was reallocated anywhere else.

I think Eviscerate is a Fed, probably the same account as Firecheif. Not even sure it plays the game. Probably here for damage control of their narrative.

Unverified sources = the verified truth.

Their "trusted sources" have been 100% verified to protect those in power by lies, deceit, fraud, and other underhanded methods to ensure they do not lose power
