Here is a look at the model tracking that is current today.

Looks like they looked real hard at the multiple tracking models and GFS changed their prediction accordingly. Now showing landfall at Tampa Bay on Thursday, 09-29-2022 at 2:00pm.

Fortunately the powers that be cancelled our load for Orlando and Lakeland for this week due to the uncertainty of Ian. I'm not unhappy about it. I hope and pray that where ever it lands that the damage and danger is minimal.

We passed a lot of bucket trucks headed south on 65 in north Alabama this morning heading down to stage for the power outages that we know are going to occur. I couldn't see what state they were from though.

Unfortunately, when a hurricane gets into the Gulf of Mexico, usually someone is going to get hurt...

The spaghetti models changed a bit recently.

I heard a report saying the Tampa Bay area was a target and 10 foot surge expected there. The model you have seems to concur, at least for the moment.

Gonna get hairy for me.

Be safe. Leave if you have to.

I am going down with the ship no matter what. Gotta keep the vette from getting wet and telescopes. Will update during the storm unless power goes out.

Yeah man, stay safe. You can always replace material things.

Looks like you may get a couple years worth of rain from Ian. Seems like models are showing it stalling out and just sitting there just off the coast for at least 12 hours. Tornadoes could be a real problem.

I bailed out when Michael came up this way. Another big storm heads this way, Connie and I are out of here for a few days.
