mappy

yup. not that hard to grasp.

happy birthday @yoda !

Can concur it was a pretty one

Not sure how high the camera is, 6-8 feet I’m sure. St James City, Captiva, Sanibel are all at or below 7’ elevation. Entire islands washed over. Oy.

Yay to another key lime lover! Thanks for sharing that recipe, sounds delish

And its still being discussed. Just scroll by the posts that dont interest you and youll be okay. Promise

I appreciate your concern, been seeing one for years. good luck!

I too will be impacted by its remnants this weekend, but you don't see me asking for information about that here. I go to my subforum. You should do that.

I think its all fine to be here. Ian is back over water, heading for the southeast coast. If you need specifics, you should mosey on over to your subforum, I hear there is a thread there.

what is it that you're looking for? how can we make this a more enjoyable experience for you?

good to know! thanks!

No, I missed it. Sorry! I didn't even know Key Lime Pie sour ales were a thing, I need to figure out how to order some. While on vacation I had a key lime martini, that was delicious too. Though not as sour as I would have hoped it would be. It is very easy to make!

eat a piece of carrot cake to make up for it?

post more.

I went to a wedding in VA Beach Labor Day weekend and the family had a welcome reception at a local brewery and they had Key Lime Pie sour ale. OMG it was so freaking good.

political posts will be hidden.

The 5pm advisory on Tuesday had a TS off the coast of Georgia at Day3 (2pm today). Anything beyond Day 3 should be taken with a grain of salt. You should know that.

lol sorry, I am not helping

Which was mentioned in the post that set this conversation off. Social media is terrible. Muddies the information and causes distrust elsewhere. yall will be okay.

climate change wasn't the point at all. distrust in the media was the point.

I am sure it happens. I am not in FL so I have no idea what local news was saying when compared to NHC. But I do know there have been instances locally in my area where there was a breakdown of sorts from Gov Agencies to local agencies and the media and people were 'caught off guard' and blamed NWS for failure to communicate the risks.

I get that, and IMO, I thought NHC did fine other than the landfall further north before they adjusted back to south of Tampa. Lee County should have started evacuations over the weekend. NHC could have a perfect forecast and spread their message far and wide on social media, but unless local news reports it verbatim, there will be information lost between one agency to another. its a group effort from NHC communication to emergency management, who communicates to mayors/governors, who communicates to the public. A breakdown in any of those handoffs will trickle down to those on the ground who choose to stay behind instead.

I doubt the general public is pulling up NHC online to see the cone, etc. They are watching local news to get their information. So if local media doesn't harp on the seriousness of it, it doesn't matter what NHC does. The general public won't know any better.

you seemed to have missed the entire point of his post. but go off.
