This thing is going to plow across the Florida peninsula from west to east. Tampa and Ft Myers are fucked. It went from nothing to a category 5 within 24 hours. Holy shit.

    Looks like the 12z HAFS-B model was accurate. Wonder if it'll drop below 900mb in the next 24 hours like it does on the model, if so that area of Florida is gonna be super fucked.

      Currently unable to evacuate in the Tampa area. Whenever we get internet back I'll make a post on here maybe with pictures and shit.

      Also, the people on the gulf here: St Pete Beach, Madeira, Treasure Island.... they still have boats in their lawns from Helene. There just hasn't been time to clean them up yet. There is a huge pile of lawn debris in front of every house in the neighborhood I live in because there has been no pickup in two weeks (normal garbage was picked up). I might drag the completely full recycling bins into the laundry room late tonight as that will all be projectiles if I don't. Might dump the recycling bins in the big dumpster (which is super heavy) because they are full and they'll spill over and turn all the glass into projectiles and shit...
