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.

Seems to continue to inch east with every report

the NHC must be in a state of abject chaos right now

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.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
