155 mph windspeed. I was wrong it did not quite make a cat 5. This is going to be a monster.

I moved my afternoon flight to the crack of dawn flight tomorrow. Hoping to sneak in to Ft Lauderdale before the winds get too bad on the east coast.

More likely i will be on here raging all day sitting at JFK while my flight keeps getting delayed. Luckily i am going against traffic trying to to Florida and not out of Florida.

Our honeymoon was in Siesta Key back in 2004. We were heading down the coast with literally no traffic, while the northbound lanes were completely gridlocked. We went through two hurricanes.

I'm glad this one shifted from the panhandle. We decided not to go with flood insurance and this one would've wrecked us at this strength. It's odd, there's no surf in the forecast for our beach, either. Generally hurricanes kick up enough even when they're in the southern Gulf to give us decent waves. I'm kind of glad on that one too cause there hasn't been a single good surfing day this year and I'd be annoyed to miss it since we in New Hampshire.

My dad moved out of Boca Grande, FL and sold his house last year. It's looking like that was a good call. His house was elevation 6 ft, predicted 12+ ft storm surges in Charlotte Harbor. Yikes.

He built the house himself and specced it to survive a cat 4 direct hit so that he didn't have to pay the absurd insurance rates. I guess this will be the test.

Landed. 2.5 hour flight took 4 hours. We actually went out over the Bahamas to get to Ft Lauderdale. Then we circled around for about an hour while ATCs were bringing planes in between feeder bands. It was a little choppy once we passed Jax but the final approach was some serious shit as we got down under the clouds. Plane was all over the place. Some women were legit screaming during those last 3 minutes before we touched down.

All i could think off while they were screaming was wishing i could post this in the cabin...

Simply amazing how over-reactive everyone and the news are taking this. Yeah, places on the shore are going to be fucked. Happens every time. Mobile homes 0-2 miles in? Yeah, maybe not live in a tin can next to a place that can wipe you out. The rest of the state? Some power outages.

I lived through 2004 with 1 week without power between the 4 storms were the most destructive thing I ever encountered. 90-100 degree heat and 5000% humidity.

I had moved to Orlando a little over a month before Charley. Shit was like Armageddon here for months with all the damaged roofs and power outages. Nothing in Central Florida was up to code then.

Yeah, my mom has done the same every time we get even a tropical storm. Baffling.

The announcers are saying that the water is "lashing up" to 6 feet. The scroll beneath that same video is saying "Storm Surge of 18 feet possible". Which is it? Pretty significant difference between 6 and 18 feet. Fucking fear-mongering media.
