Will be cutting back time today dedicated to monitoring and reporting on Middle East regional war.

I have to prepare for the hurricane coming right for me. Today I have to tie up my ship, bring in all outside decorations/plants, and buy some supplies before their all sold out..... everything is shutting down tomorrow.

So will try to get that all out of the way as quickly as possible so I can go back to dedicating my time to monitoring and reporting on the unfolding all out regional war.

Also when the hurricane gets close enough I'll be reporting on that too. I know we have a lot of viewers here from the Tampa Bay Area & will try to keep us all up to date on the hurricane emergency.

Also if the hurricane gets bad enough I may become unavailable for indefinite amount of time and therefore no reporting from me until the hurricane emergency is over & damages assest.

I apologize to everyone who has been following my reporting on the middle east crisis. But mother nature is being a typical bitch and I have to take care of business.

Please stay safe!
 
I have decided to evacuate. Beat the rush. Once I have done prep work on the house and moving important belongings to my storage unit inland will be moving to a hotel inland until the hurricane emergency is over.

I will not be available for sometime. @DEFCON Warning System @RiffRaff @Irag8er
 
Currently forecast to hit the panhandle area as a major hurricane, but gulf coast will definitely feel the effects.
 
I am in northern GA (close to Chattanooga). They are already issuing flood watches in my area for Wednesday through Friday. I've seen no forecasts on wind speed/effects yet.

@DarkNoon - I am glad to see that you are evacuating. Stay safe!
 
So the OSHA course I was taking with University of South Florida this week has been canceled due to the incoming hurricane. Ironically, my class was on training disaster area workers. Thinking about leaving tomorrow and driving down to work the storm. I'll post my decision later in this forum.

The latest NHC advisory shows Helene reaching peak strength as a "major" hurricane. This is a Category 3 or higher, with sustained winds above 110 miles per hour. Storm surge is forecast to reach between 10 to 15 feet in certain areas, particularly between Chassahowitzka and the Ochlockonee River. Tampa Bay is expected to get 5 to 8 feet of storm surge.

Still going to be bad on the barriers where I am. Even a tropical storm fucks us up on the islands. This will be a CAT 3 or above so even being clipped going to mess things up bad for us on the islands and hope everyone else on the barrier islands all up and down the gulf coast of Florida are doing the same as. BECAUSE it can always take a sudden unexpected turn.

Helene rapidly organizing, remains on track to become major hurricane on approach to Florida

Tropical Storm Helene is rapidly organizing and is expected to become a major hurricane as it approaches Florida as residents rush to finish preparing for a potentially deadly storm surge, destructive hurricane-force winds and flooding rain.

Initial deployment area is going to be Tallahassee, Florida. I'm a few hours away from there. Should give me plenty of time to get situated and get some rest before things start picking up. I'll try to keep you updated as much I can.

See. I knew it. I beat the rush. Zone A is everyone on the barrier islands. Me. So glad I took care of most my shit yesterday. Just doing finishing touches on my house otherwise I'm 99% done. Just going around double triple checking everything making sure everything secure.
 
Don't want to leave my house, finding every excuse to not to leave yet, like dick around on the forums. πŸ˜‚ I'm afraid she may not be here when I get back. Also very nervous for my ship. May smoke a cigar on her one more time before I go...
