Nevermind a 1938 redux, just a strong Cat 1 woupd be real bad. On my return trips up north I marvel at the Tree Canopy over the roads and the damage a storm would cause. A strong CAT 1 would cause extensive power outages.
sitting here on the side of the FL Turnpike in FT Pierce work in on storm prep and the trends while encouraging do not change the fact I am still in line for a possible direct hit. The next 24hrs of model runs are crucial here.
Regardless of modeling, August has been a wet month for St Lucie County South to Palm Beach; we don't need any more rain.
Currently getting bands of showers and storms pin wheeling in of the ocean
As currently modeled I look to take a direct hit, and not any fun like DIT would think. Lots of stress between work and getting house shuttered. Hoping future models are further N or S of current track.
If you live on the coast then you should ALREADY have supplies because there is always a chance!....But, yes it is always good to have an emergency kit ready.
