Although Fay it's not yet a hurricane there is a chance that it can develop into a category 1 hurricane by late tomorrow. Those of you living between Naples and Tampa will get the brunt of the storm. I survived Andrew and although this storm it's no where near Andrew you'll be surprise how much damage even a weak tropical storm can do. Please folks prepare your selves and get ready. If by a remote chance Fay develops into a major hurricane seek shelter don't try to ride out the storm at home, even if you live in a safe structure, I thought I did. Please don't make the same mistake I've made. God spare me with Andrew, I haven't taken any storm lightly ever since and I never will!! I pray you're as lucky as I've been. Take care everyone and good luck


PS. I've borrowed these images from captainbk (thank you captain) that show the projected path.

 

i agree ... stay safe and have a plan NOW.

 

making preparationas as we speak. I not only have my boat and home to worry about but our very best friends are in Alaska and I need to deal with their home and boat. oh the joys of friendship.

 

BTW those images update as newer information is available. The important thing to remeber is it can go anywhere so be ready.

Herer are the current spaghetti models:

 

I finally tested my generator, bought it two years ago, and put oil and fired it up for the first time today... good thing it works...lol and damn, can you believe how much crap accumulates over a year...

I was in Kendall when Andrew hit. Renderman is right on target, do not takes these things lightly

 

Cleared out the Lanai this morning, possibly gonna roll down the shutters monday night. Depends on how bad it gets.

 

My Honda generator is gassed and ready to keep the Cable and TV going . Plenty of water to drink .

 

change in path.....not good for us.

 

I hope no one is severely affected by this thing!!

It got my fly tomorrow canceled which means I gotta do bullshit in the shop now rather than have a good day.....

but thats minor compared to what could happen to others so best of luck to all!

 

It won't affect Tampa that much because I bought a Home Generator last year. That means at least a couple of years no power outages.
