Talladega Superspeedway to open free campgrounds for any Ian evacuees.....

Great move on their part- it's a huge place and they have the facilities.

Here on the Florida East coast, we are still in the cone, but it looks like it will go past me.
Tropical storm force winds and a LOT of rain coming. They are talking 10-15 inches by Friday.

Wind can be bad but water is much worse IMO. Be careful!!!

Like I said in my earlier post, water is worse than wind.

And if people don't have flood insurance they are f***ed unless Federal disaster relief is made available.

Having previously lived in Florida for many years, I find this to be largely true lol

I have a cousin in Tampa and all week this is exactly how he was. I know he made necessary preparations, but he was generally unbothered by the whole ordeal

When Hurricane Erin hit Pensacola back in the 1990s, we actually walked outside when the eye crossed. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had, seeing the sun shine and knowing the next wall was coming soon.

Mom's cousin is ok for now. She joked with my mom that she was glad she just had a new roof put on. I just hope it stays on.

Hope our Florida HF family members are doing ok!

Lots of snow birds here wondering what they will find when they fly south for the winter.

NASCAR and most tracks actually do that sort of thing, anyway....Charlotte's doing the same thing with Rock Hill Campground as is Atlanta Motor Speedway

Apparently we are in one of the zones that doesnt even have an evac point. Like we are dead last which still doesnt comfort me. Hearing lots of wind but cant see anything with steel bars over the windows.

Man made lakes all over the area but am told they self drain and have been draining for days or whatever.

Bring me back to 10 second earth quakes.

Im just paranoid im going to wake up surrounded by water but irrational fears compounded with anxiety.

Were I used to deliver is a zone id be worried about Parish by Manatee river. Now electricity flickering.

If the video I've seen is any indication, not much.

When Fiona passed by last week my niece & some of her friends went down to the beach to surf the larger than usual waves. I said something uncomplimentary about their intelligence when she told me.

Landfall expected between Venice and Cape Coral.... weather likely hazardous the next 24-48 hours as it slowly crosses the FL Peninsula to the Atlantic side..... watches/ warnings as far north as SC Upstate

Mike Seidel has covered hurricanes on the Weather Channel for 30 years and he reports from downtown Fort Myers this is the worst he has ever seen.
