Tampa Hurricane tiem!

[Mr. Argumentor]

Was trying to find news on it.

Who the fucks knows. If there’s no storm surge will it even be that bad?

Depending on where it hits, 4-9 feet were some of the predictions i was seeing.

I need to figure out what to do with my vehicles. Truck will likely be ok at that level of surge, with how far in I am. Miata? Maybe not.

 

[Petunia]

the hurricane must be hanging out with the new covid variant

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

So, anyone hear about this hurricane about to hit Florida? I 100% didn't hear shit about it.

according to the tv news box this morning itll be on your doorstep by wednesday

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

possibly a cat 3

possibly a cat 3

so just a few winds and drizzle ?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

so just a few winds and drizzle ?

Cat 3 is sustained winds of 111-129MPH, or 178-208km/h
First of the "Major" storms. Hurricane Sandy that hit NYC was a Cat 3, but a lot of that damage was due to poor flood control.

Someone might lose a house.

I don't know why this triggers you folks. Statistically speaking, they aren't. You should know better, you glorified calculator.

So true. To watch the nightly news, you'd think everyone in Florida was killed by a hurricane.

4' yeah. 9ish? Dunno. Not sure what my actual elevation is.

I'm more worried about local flooding, though, not necessarily the storm surge.

I guess I can always bust out the jack and jack stands...

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Oh hell. Just realized I might have to drive over the Skyway in this at some point.
Damnit.

Obviously areas are different, but we're 14' and less than a mile from the top of the bay.

Assuming it stays open...
