So I was in the eye of Ian in Punta Gorda. Moved to Lakewood Ranch to be in the current eye forecast for this one. **** is following me.

Stay safe.

What sites do you use to follow storms? I go to several, but I like this one:

Ventusky - Weather Forecast Maps

Live wind, rain, radar or temperature maps, more than 50 weather layers, detailed forecast for your place, data from the best weather forecast models with high resolution

www.ventusky.com

8am Advisory! Prepare and stay safe, fellow Floridians. Get away from those storm surge areas.

Don’t **** around and find out!

Slight tick to the north, still strengthening.

The Euro has it hitting just north of Tampa, the GFS well north of Tampa

 

[Unsider]

Prayers up for all in the path! Please be safe, evacuate if told to or you have doubts, Mother Nature will do what it does, DON’T DEFY IT!

My oldest daughter and her fiance live in Tampa, I urged them yesterday to evacuate to the north. Looking like it will be down to a Cat 3 by landfall, still scary, but far better than the forecast of a Cat 5! Stay safe all y'all in the path!

 

[PIPO]

Down to 155 sustained. No longer category 5.
