NeffsvilleWx Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Brevard County Director of Emergency Management, on an official FB Livestream, just said that the worst of the rain is going to be on the eastern side. And that winds aren't going to be an issue here, despite MLB forecasting worst case of 58-73 mph winds. Like -- has he even been paying attention to what actual mets have been forecasting?

If Ian took the track into St. Pete/Clearwater, the surge up Tampa Bay would have been intense. With the storm slipping south, it'll be bad, but not top-tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall realistic outcomes at this point are basically bad, worse, worser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moat wall had a 40’ section collapse after Irma so its definitely more susceptible to more damage now i would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Yikes just found out my 20-something niece, husband and BABY who were in Destin flew to Tampa to get his boat and take it to Ft Lauderdale. They're in south Tampa now and think they're gonna head south then east on I-75. Uhhh, I-75 south is JAMMED and now there are jams eastbound from Naples towards Ft Lauderdale. I think they should head NORTH out of Tampa back towards the panhandle area. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 People get more upset about "their" The Second Amendment Rights then they do about "their" First. I digress.
