Anyone that lives in Florida should watch this next storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. It's on the west side close to Mexico/Texas border, but it's projected path is eastward towards the Florida peninsula. It appears Tampa Bay may be impacted, along with everyone south of the region. This makes me so sad because there are people still trying to recover from the last storm. My prayers are with these people.

Just what we don't need another storm! I am watching it carefully although not living in Florida.

Here in Sarasota, we're already receiving river flood warnings. The Myakka River (out east of me) always overflows The flood plains typically move the water as expected. However the coming rains will likely just exacerbate the danger.

Snip
At 8:00 AM EDT Saturday the stage was 6.4 feet. - Bankfull stage is 7.0 feet. - Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage early Monday morning and continue rising to 7.2 feet Monday evening. Additional rises are possible thereafter. - Flood stage is 7.0 feet. - Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 7.2 feet on 12/28/2002.

 
Well, this is annoying..... I'm the little red dot, just below Tampa. I'm not in an evacuation zone nor am I in a flood zone. Concrete block home, about 2' above the road, newer 6 y/o roof.

After hurricane Debbie, I reinforced everything with rebar. This morning I tied my sunflowers to bamboo stakes. Not that they will help in a storm, but maybe they'll grow a little straighter after hurricane Helene blew them sideways.

I'd say "annoying" is an understatement! You and Florida don't need this.

The water is back on! We're under a boil advisory for the next few days for drinking or brushing teeth, etc. The entire North Carolina/Tennessee border only has one road open for travel. And today two 18 wheelers wrecked on it at different times, closing the way temporarily. I40 and I26 won't be repaired for nearly a year. That's what makes me so worried about the people who are in inaccessible areas.

I know 2 crashed on the parkway, where they werent supposed to be anyway, is that where you're talking about? I could (almost) forgive them if they were from relief agencies, but I don't know where they were from. Do you?

Used to live in Forest City, NC. We would drive to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure on the weekends. It was a small tourist area that was absolutely beautiful to see. We would canoe in the lake, and hike around Chimney Rock. So very sad to see the devastation and loss for the community. I live about 50 miles from where Helene hit Florida. The winds were strong, but we didn't see the devastation that WNC did. Never would have thought it would do such damage so far inland.

Surprised the heck out of us also...

“The HMON model shows a category 4 Hurricane Milton taking the worst track possible for the Tampa, FL area. The exact track of Milton is CRUCIAL for who will see the worst storm surge. You do not want this track in the Tampa area. This model is an outlier on intensity, but a cat 2-3 fast-moving hurricane will have serious consequences in terms of storm surge”

I’m sorry this is happening again to you. Especially so soon after the last one.
