agree but when we ultimately get a storm that has more direct impacts on land a lot of his post should be in the banter thread imo. For me I'm not to worried about it with Erin because its 95% likely a fish event but if it was headed toward florida I know I'd rather deal without the noise because I actually try to use the information in these threads to make decisions and I'm sure I'm probably not the only one and I sure don't want to hear him rooting the storm on like it is Messi going for a penalty kick.

yeah we will see, mother nature can be crazy, but this smells like one for the Fish.

I’m sure a lot of us quietly would love a storm to track and love the natural beauty of big storms, but maybe don’t openly act so excited and seemingly be rooting for a devastating storm. Real lives are affected and it isn’t just a video game. I can only hope as this or any storm gets closer to land these kinds of post get cleaned up. You can start your own wish casting thread if you want but don’t bring it in here. .

I've been on this forum or lurking for seemingly 10 years and the first major threat to the CUSA always has Tampa in the cone, it's like a tradition. Not once has it ended up affecting us

Maybe the NHC can hire Barry to keep them up to date via all the social media post about Hurricanes.

Agree, unfortunately when I get alert that there is 10 new post and I click it and only 1 is something I can see. But the mods have been around way longer than me and are good at what they do so if they want let him trash a great thread that’s their choice. Hopefully once we start getting active and have storms and need to have more intense talk it will be handled. .

Damn, that was worse than the guy last year who kept using nothing but hipster lingo that 80% of the people couldn’t understand. .

Crazy this thing is right off the west coast of Florida and here in Tampa if it wasn’t for this site I probably wouldn’t even know it was out there. I’m not exactly a news guy but there is zero buzz about this monster. .

Not quite what they are getting in Tampa city limits but just lost power finally here and it’s been non stop rain and wind for a while now. Tree debris everywhere and standing water in the backyard. I know others have it much worse but really curious what it all looks like when the sun comes up. .

6 confirmed fatalities I just heard on Max's stream.

Bradenton is getting smacked really hard

Might be a case of storm fatigue as we've been following it for almost a week it seems like. I can tell you I don't think Boring is the word I'm using for it right now.

agree for most people just can't imagine the frustration it must cause. Spend a ton of money to get away from a Hurricane only to get caught in a Tornado.

As for the Hurricane looks almost due east now maybe slightly ENE. In between Sarasota and Bradenton looks to be likely right now. Still could wobble back to the North of course.

I don't mean this to sound like evacuating from highly dangerous areas isn't important. It absolutely is. That being said I wonder how many people on the west coast/central Florida evacuated to some of these places on the east coast that are just getting crushed with Tornadoes today.
