A simple google search would do you good.

Also reading what i said is also helpful. I said while anything in its direct path will be hit hard (wouldn’t be good were my actual words), storms these size don’t create the wide spread storm surge and raining. That is absolutely true, btw

More area of a storm, the more ocean it is pushing inland (wide spread) and the larger the storm the longer the winds are pushing the ocean (impact in specific areas).

My wife and I have paid attention to this Orlando meteorologist since we were down there for the last hurricane. He has said all the stuff I posted here, which i looked up to verify

Sorry, you are just wrong < I realize that you like to be expert on almost everything >.

FWIW: I've been through a more Hurricanes in my lifetime than your cursory Orlando experience and as a retiree , I've had plenty of time to watch the weather channels today (it impacts me directly).

To your incorrect point--it won't hit the Coast narrowly as you suggest as the Weather Channel is suggesting that this storm will expand greatly as it gets to the Coast (thus, surge and wind field from Naples up to north of Tampa).

This is a 100 year type storm that has reached wind levels almost never experienced in the Gulf/Atlantic Basin and with storm surge targeted to be significant along almost the entire West Coast of Florida (graph below from National Hurricane Center).

As noted, Milton will impact almost the entire Florida peninsula through winds, storm surge, power failures and rain (ie Jax could get 18") with major damage/storm surge not only on the West Coast but also to the East Coast including Daytona Beach through Jax up to SE Ga.

The only densely populated area in Florida that will miss most of the challenges will be the Miami area (people in jeopardy need to go there or more preferably to Atlanta and definitely not to Orlando. Orlando is typically is not a good city to be during major Hurricanes due to flooding coupled with usual significant tree damage...south Fl does much better because their Palm tree profiles handle wind much better).

NHC's latest graph: Naples to Tampa will see storm surges that are both life threatening and also residence damaging.

so we are not googling. ok.

good thing front is supposed to hit this thing and weaken it before it gets to florida.

hey dont let weather.com stop ya from being wrong though

• Size (Radius of Maximum Winds)
• A larger storm will produce a higher surge. There are two reasons for this. First, the winds in a larger storm push on a larger ocean area. Second, the strong winds in a larger storm will tend to affect an area longer than in a smaller storm.

or let his map of the Heline's storm surge prove you wrong. higher storm surge. across florida. that was a massive storm.

"weaken" = 125+ mph which just means the wind, surge and rain will expand greatly at landfall and impact millions.

I did Google, where do you think the NHC graph came from (and I've researched more pages than I'm sure you have) and btw it's now 180mph.

For someone as yourself who is clearly inexperienced in this area, you sure come in as the "expert".

I may not know cap specifics or some player specifics like you but I know Hurricanes and it's impact.

edit: my last comment on this...I know you can't help yourself and you will respond

now back to actual hockey stuff, maybe someone can do some research on that too.

only one waiver change for tomorrow, the recently signed Watson with Detroit.

I guess Columbus is about done. I believe they have met the floor. They basically have to carry a 23 man roster to do so

Not to take it back to the storm but…

Thursday morning the city of Tampa Bay is going to be decimated by Category 5 Hurricane Milton, a once in a century storm, then 36 hours later we’re are going to turn around and host the Lightning in our home opener and have all our branding and crowd hype like “get ready for a Category 5 storm! There’s a hurricane coming!” and whatever.

Very darkly funny and bad. It’s a Curb premise.

shades of lee corso picking miami to beat ecu (at carter finley) a week after floyd with a line something like 'a hurricane just destroyed ecu, and it is about to happen again'

ecu won, for those not familiar.

posted this in another OP, but Tampa is flying to Raleigh and practicing after the Canes on Wed and Thursday. There is a possibility that we play them here versus Tampa on Saturday on Sunday.

I was thinking that if the Bolts come early (which evidently they are) would they bring their families up wiith them. Seems like a sensible thing to do.

ETA And golf clubs too. Perfect weather.

Rumors of the pool party being over were greatly exaggerated….drinks for everyone!

Columbus with another hit. Waddell sure has his hands full:

I don't think he meant this when he said he was looking forward to a new challenge in his role at Columbus

All this weather talk brought this clip to my mind:

 

[chaz4hockey]

Athletic with their annual predictions. Thankfully, we are buried on the list although one of their writers actually picked us to win (James Mirtle):

Although 43% state that the Canes will be the biggest disappointment:

I don't think it's a stretch to guess that this year will be a "disappointment" when compared to years past...at least in the regular season. Anything can happen at TDL and playoffs to change things around, but replacing Bunting/TT with Roslovic I can definitely see our forwards struggling a bit in the scoring department (though hopefully Ghost-Walker brings blueline offensive punch)

I'm sure all of the young, single, physically elite millionaires won't be at all distracted effectively being dropped in the middle of a college campus for a week.

So the Rangers with the President's trophy last year, beat us in the playoffs, had minimal roster turnover compared to the Canes (as far as I can recall), are projected to finish behind us in the standings... And yet Carolina is the bigger disappointment?

I'm fine with that ranking for us. It looks like we stepped back if you compare our roster now to our roster then.

What I struggle with is so many people picking Edmonton as cup favorites. I just don't see it. Out West, I'd pick Colorado, Dallas, Vegas, Vancouver before picking the Oilers. They're in my top 10, but they're closer to #10 than #1 for me.

Your mistake was the logical deduction.
