Pretty scary, winds are up to like 20 mph in Sarasota. Trying to decide if I should board up the windows just northeast of Orlando.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Who is about to get walloped by HURRICANE ELSA?

I thought it was a tropical storm, or is that just after a couple days of landfall where I am? No preparations here. Just expecting rain and a little wind. May be some limbs down or something.

It is a hurricane despite the fact that the hurricane hunter flying around in there can’t find any hurricane strength winds.

They said winds were supposed to be up to 30 and 40 mph sustained by 4pm this afternoon in Tampa. Theres not a single breeze right now.
Are you suggesting the weather channel may be exaggerating? No way!

I got some leaves in my pool. Luckily the pool guy hasn’t been here this week yet.
In Jax and we are getting some bands.
Shit, the wind and rain is so mild it's not even knocking the skeeters out of the air. They are on the prowl.

I’ve lived in Florida my entire life. Lost power for 7 days after Irma and 6 days after Mathew in my current house. Bunch of other ones before that.

You must've been in the panhandle. I lost power from Hermine, Irma, and Michael was a shit show.
Matthew fucked us up, here along the I-95 corridor in SC. Unreal what that thing did for a cat 1, just brushing our coast. I know it was much stronger before it got to us, but that thing punched well above its weight.
That's totally fucking scary - winds of 20 miles an hour can blow your dog over! Stay inside and call 911 now!
I made sure to mark myself as safe on FacePage. Thank the lord I did that so others wouldn’t scream in agony awaiting my fate.
