My in-laws live in Davenport which is west of Orlando. Not gonna be a fun but the real killer in hurricanes is usually the storm surge and obviously none of that inland. They have a generator large enough to power the whole house if need be.

Yeah, luckily no storm surge to deal with. Hoping that the storm moves through quickly so that we don’t have to deal with any flooding. From what I’m hearing on the news, the big concern is the tornadoes because they form so quickly out of the hurricane that it’s almost impossible to send an alert out to people.

The forecast intensity is raised to 135 kt at landfall, and we are 
now forecasting a catastrophic storm surge of 12 to 16 ft from 
Englewood to Bonita Beach, Florida.  No other significant changes 
were made to the forecast.

The above from an intermediary NHC update at 7 am.  They are expecting a surge of 12-16 feet- those folks got to get out now while they still can.

Yeah as many hurricanes as I have been through I was always more frightened of the tornadoes.  When I lived up in ILM I had one go through my back wood lot during Fran.

Not sure if you saw the damage at the Miami airport last night but one flipped over 15 small Cessna like airplanes and it happened so quick that they were still seeking verification after all the damage occurred.

Trying not to think about the worst case scenario but I’ll be sleeping a little lighter tonight for sure.

“Governor Roy Cooper declared a State of Emergency today to activate the state’s emergency operations plan, waive transportation rules to help the transport of fuel and critical supplies, help first responders and the agriculture industry and protect consumers from price gouging,” wrote Cooper’s office in the announcement.

The State Emergency Response Team will activate in Raleigh on Thursday, and they plan to begin 24-hour operations on Friday Morning.

If Duke is your power company, don't hold your breath!

My place was without power for 10 days after Fran and I was on a well so no water either except when I ran a portable generator.  It was a Florida Power and Light crew who finally restored electric to my place.  The whole neighborhood was cheering those guys on and bringing them cold drinks.

Joking aside, hopefully things don't get too bad for you guys.

So far so good lol. A little standing water on the road, some lightning, thunder, and good winds but other than that no issues.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
