its almost done with the EWRC now, itll probably have time to strengthen more just before it comes ashore. likely low end cat 4. very large in diameter too, im expecting to see the hurricane warnings shifted south at 11. quite a few tornado warnings have popped up so far too.

it could actually end up going east of even fort meyers now. people would've thought you were a madman if you said this yesterday. its probably gonna start intensifying again shortly.

Well this is pretty much devolving into the worst case scenario. Slow moving cat 4 supplemented by one of the worst forecast errors in recent memory. The area south of Bonita didn't even have a hurricane warning until 5PM and they may very well receive the eyewall.

I live in Orlando and it was pretty eerie out today. Lots of people preparing but kind of quiet as in not the normal loud tourist city that it normally is.

Expecting to lose power so I’m stocked up on water, would prefer to not have flooding, obviously.

My mother lives in the Villages about 45 mins away from Orlando and I am legit worried for her

Prayers to you and your family

We just received a new update and we’re expecting a direct hit. Luckily it looks the storm is speeding up so hopefully that helps with the flooding. Unfortunately they are pretty much guaranteeing that we will lose power.

I hope your mother stays safe.

 up to 140 mph and 942 mbar at 5 am. looks like it's gonna try and make a run at cat 5 before landfall later today... flight level winds already strong enough to support a 5, just a matter of the surface level winds catching up. the slight jaunts in any given direction are going to continue up to landfall as well so it's hard to know where exactly it'll come ashore.  hearts out to everyone in the path of this thing

About 2 months ago my parents moved down there about 45 minutes outside of Sarasota. Moved nextdoor to my brother and sister-in-law who have lived down there for maybe 12 years. 

They might be having second thoughts about the move. They're all stocked up and have been spending the better part of a week getting things on their small farm ready, but the way this thing is sounding I don't know how much you can be prepared for it.

officially up to 155mph but you could make a real argument for 160mph based on some of the data coming out of it... the NHC is bearish about giving storms the upgrade to a 5. The speed at which that eyewall replacement cycle occured earlier has helped spur this; most of them don't complete so quickly. Regardless it has 5-6 hours left until landfall so there's still time for some further intensification. Looks we're looking at the 6th ever landfalling category 5 hurricane in US history. This one could end up putting up Harvey/Katrina numbers in terms of cost when it's all set and done.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
