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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
