The National Hurricane Center says there’s a 70% chance the system will become a tropical storm by Monday and a 90% chance overall.

    It cuts through a bunch of red tape, and we haven’t had a hurricane target the state this year. Right now, NHC is predicting a Cat 1 hurricane. That’s only hurricane party weather. Unless you live in a low lying area or are susceptible to storm surge. That prediction will probably change though.

      Yea, it sounds like DeSantis doesn’t want to actually do his “Governor of Florida” duties since he’s out campaigning and just cut a huge chunk of the state responses over to the federal government.

        Can’t go to work, can’t go to school, can’t go much of anywhere, but it’s not a big enough deal that you actually have to worry about damage beyond a few tree branches being blown loose.

        Grab some booze, snacks, and candles just in case. Charge up your battery powered devices, invite some people over, and vibe while it’s dumping outside. If you have a screened porch, it generally includes one to several periods of just watching the storm with a drink.

        Get shit faced because there’s not much you can do during a hurricane. Especially cat 2 and under.
