What’s weird about this hurricane is how early they called it. 8 or 9 days ago I was watching on the radar future cast how they expected a possible major hurricane in the panhandle or western coast of Florida. That was before it was anything at all. Sure enough.
Yet they can't tell you accurately whether it will rain later today.

How’s it going now? It looks like it’s getting crazy!
The wind really ripped last night and the power flicked on/off a few times but the only damage I've found this morning is this fence

Sometimes they're excellent. And then sometimes they predict armageddon and the next day everyone posts stuff like this afterwards:

The wind already made it to us this afternoon, and it was pretty strong. (For a typical gray rainy Ohio day.....)
It was blowing trucks out of their lanes on the highway and stuff.

My buddy in Tampa got flooded from Helene like he sent me pictures and the water was above his toilet in his house. It was that high so his house is already fucked and now this is coming. His wife is all worried about it but he was telling me like hey we haven't started fixing the house yet and it's already going to cost me a shit ton. So really besides the house falling over what worse could happen? I guess that's a good way to look at it.

Down here it's just going to be a tropical storm. The schools are off though on Wednesday and Thursday, but I think that's just because they were criticized in the past for not being proactive enough. I mean really a tropical storm is nothing to worry about like usually you don't even lose power during one of those. But I charged all my shit and I have all my hurricane preparedness stuff from earlier this summer so Even if it shifts to the South I would be good to go without power for like 3 days probably before things start getting annoying.

Being that I live at a business I'm pretty sure I'm on the same power grid as the stoplight on the big road that I can see from my window and the Walmart next to me and I imagine stop lights in Walmart kind of get priority when they're trying to get the power back on. So as long as like the actual lines to my house don't snap I should be good.

My cousin lives just north of Tampa right on the coast (on one of those channel/canal things). His house got 10" of water with Helene. Now this.
