Yes couple times
with my uncle , he lives in town
but I don’t remember shiat , Is that the course where the police station is behind the driving range net, I hit a few off the roof @ approx 300yds . Felt like I must have been breaking some sort of law
Nice size surf today in RI, winds Blew , Thursday is cleeeean
There was rocks and red tide all over a stretch of road by Bretton point state park, was definitely a higher tide this am, crews were cleaning that up when I tried leaving at 130
Gotta hand it to Wxwatcher 007, relocated to Perry . He is now RFQ . Ballsy move , cedar key was too far to be in the cane winds 55 miles from center .
Well cmc just took it to apilachicola
There is a best western in Medart area which is 30 miles S of TLH and inland about 8 miles
Also Wakula springs has a respectable resort it looks like for 115 tonite (that is SSE of TLH) icon loves that area
Or 20 miles East in Perry FL at the Hampton inn near the airport (that is about half hour N west of Steinahatchee)
I think Epstein winters in Steinahatchee
That’s why I asked Wxwatcher If there was any civilization Well Nw of Cedar key. The town names like Fish Creek nw of Steinahatchee don’t sound much better . If there was a spot relatively elevated a few miles from ocean that was more than a frightening motel I would probably head there or prepare to after euro run
Does he really have a pit in his stomach , this is what they live for . It is finally getting that “look” .
Any good news seems that it looks to be effecting one of the least populated areas near Steinahatchee or even West with LF
Played yesterday’s @ Beaver Creek . Challenging course . Fairways are tight and they like to run water across them around 275 yds out.
My highlight was driving the par 4 11’th hole. It was a nice uphill challenge . My ball was about 10 yards past the flag. Unfortunately the two tiered sloping green was too much for me , and I 3 putted for par.
Nice work man. Love to see a chaser get out and enjoy their passion
Enjoy.
Steinahatchee is my best guess right now , not sure If there is really much civilization up that way
Ya cat 4 isn’t happening Imo . But hey will see
id take a bet where you get 50 of it does and I get 25 when it doesn’t (set it up on cash app/ Venmo )
any storm ever go from a cat 1 to cat 4 into N gulf in 24 hours (maybe Camile)
I see people get caught up in storms to the point where 85% of the forecasts are usually higher than the end reality(I often check myself bc I find it’s alluring to go bigger) - this has been from watching the board for 10 years when people get caught up in the excitement
Anyone live in fish creek to steinahatchee Florida , they should send Cantore there to make Moonshine. Cedar key will see some surge but I think the worst stays NW thou that is certainly not set in stone yet
Block island bouy just starting to show 2 feet long period Franklin swell .
Tomorrow would be a very fun day in the ocean if you like good surf (4-6 feet very large for the generic beach goer) but nothing huge for surfers ( for New England beaches with S /SE swell exposure) . There definitely will be some bigger sets beginning after noon .
Kev said 4 . I said I’ll gladly take that bet
i also said this am that tampa will not see hurricane conditions
I will take that bet that it doesn’t reach a cat 4 and or Tampa won’t see hurricane conditions .
Also I always advise my sister and her family in Spring Hill regarding hurricane threats on their plan of action , I take these storms very seriously for that reason . I told them I would not anticipate having to leave , thou maintain watching this into Tuesday for track/ model updates
This has zero relevance to Charlie or Ian regarding steering . Those both had deep gulf trough dropping in and very difficult track forecasts to pinpoint . Sure it can nudge 15 miles East on a NNE/Ne heading but it’s not turning ENE off of Tampa
I would be willing to bet that Tampa bay does not see much resembling hurricane conditions Despite a hurricane warning being issued for the Tampa coast .
I think this is more forecasting for worst case scenario or just so that preparations are In place In case this shifts East , esp given last year in fort Myers area . The area is just very prone to surge and I think they want people taking it seriously .
The steering currents on this one is so much more straight forward then the headache of trying to forecast the “turn” with Ian.
Is the storm becoming less vertically tilted Or *when is it forecast to be * because until that gets sorted, strengthening is almost always slow/steady in my experiences
