Hermine formed early this evening in the Eastern Atlantic

1. thanks, malaise

this one is still a little concerning for new orleans and the wider gulf coast.

did fiona effect you guys at all?

[malaise]

2. Just a few rain squalls

and it looks like Hermine will spare us the worst. I was thinking of DUer Solly Mack yesterday - Louisiana does not need another hurricane.

3. ...

4. Just when I thought it would be a good year

This one is aimed right at my back yard.

[malaise]

6. Looks like plenty rain but the good news is that it's moving at 13mph. Hope or doesn't slow down

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Mine, too.

Tampa Bay here. If it comes ashore south of me, it is better. The NE quad is the worst part of a hurricane. I am 3 blocks from the Gulf and the surge will be awful. Will be keeping an eye. Hate to have to evac but if the winds are anything over 80mph, I am out of here. Stayed for Jeannie and it was scary. Floor was moving up and down from the winds.

14. The storm surge on the Gulf Coast would be scary. All that water passing between St. Pete and

Bradenton with no place to go is a scenario that storm experts have been warning about for many years. It's odd how the area from big Bend over to Louisiana has been so battered over the years and Cedar Key southward has had relatively less frequency or severity. Sooner or later its going to happen. I have spent a lot of time on Anna Maria over the years. That area would be devastated.

Hoping for best outcomes.

5. That may bring us some much needed rain

in central NC at the end of next week.

Hot and dry September here has us 3 inches behind normal rainfall year to date. Plus, thought we were through with 90+ degree weather until this week. It's been a very hot and dry summer here.

7. Dammit! This is my fault

Boca Raton here.

I was talking with someone in Naples just the other day and said it looks like we escaped the peak of hurricane season. Without knocking on wood.

I cursed us into the cone.

My only saving grace is that I got a whole house generator last season so I am in better shape than most.

9. Not your fault

Nature is boss

8. For every dollar Deathsantis sends on immigrant stunts he should lose $100 in federal disaster aid.

Fla. Governor better save his money for the disaster relief funds if hurricane hits.

[malaise]

10. Watch him go begging Biden for money now cap in hand n/t

[obamanut2012]

12. Why should we suffer because of him?

[Pepsidog]

13. I suspect the people in States he sends migrants ask the same question.

[Skittles]

15. I had to find how to pronounce that name

I think it is her-MEEN ?

[malaise]

17. This will be Ian

Another storm formed before this one was named 😀😀

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

16. Think Charley 2004, this sucker could blow up huge right before landfall, almost no warning

Watch it close Floridians.
