    The 5p is mostly bad news.
    It’s up to 100moh.
    The official track has it making landfall in pinellas
    It has it over Gainesville Friday night now.

    onlt thing good is that it had landfall at about 85mph

    Yep.

    Considering that the game is cancelled.
    No way they will bring a team in to a Hurricane zone or try to run a game the next day.

    Only issue is the liability is limited.
    Used to be like 100k of coverage
    250 k of coverage was max.

    Not sure what happened if the total loss was due to flood only, guess you only got 250k.

    Flood only covers rising waters, most flood claims don’t result in a total loss.

    Yep, not unexpected.

    Sadly the right leaning models are taking more control

    watch the next 6-12 hours for a more North motion to confirm

    Just mapped it. Our our old place is four blocks south of Hillsborough and two blocks east of Florida. The river is about four blocks to the west. The banks are fairly high there but a 15 foot surge would flood the whole neighborhood.

    Good luck. At high tide, a 5 ft surge would get us at our place. I love being on the river, but this part freaks me out. I put a security camera toward the river so we can watch it from Daytona as long as we have power.

    Hurricane Michael was a cat five and just bit over 900 millibars. It blew railroad cars off their tracks.

    Some surge maps predicting 10' in areas of Tampa Homer. You may need to consider evacuation.

    Hope you have a generator if you stay.

    Fill up the bathtub. Candles, Flashlights, Supplies....

    Ordinarily, I stay with the property during canes and wife leaves, but if I was on a barrier island I'd bail. I'm not that good of a swimmer.:cool:

    Might be tough getting back home for a bit but probably no power/AC anyway.
