Well, here we are again in the middle of hurricane season, and it looks like we might have one moving our way on the east coast of Florida, with a possible landfall north of Port Saint Lucie, moving across the state and maybe into the Gulf...stay vigilant everybody...it looks like it might not hit us as a hurricane but can still do damage as we all know..stay safe everybody....https://www.ventusky.com/?p=13.0;-68.6;3&l=temperature

I hope it's only a big rain event by the time it reaches the gulf. We've been in a severe drought here for months and could use the rain. I know central Florida doesn't need the rain but hopefully there will be lots of rain for the panhandle.

I think that's exactly what this will be Juan...it's pouring over here right now, but that's what it does every year around this time (in the summer)....It usually starts in the glades and works it's way east in the afternoon, in the morning it starts in the east and moves west towards the glades where I'm at..hopefully this "hurricane" will be a bust just like the UM Hurricanes were a bust against Florida this past weekend...hahaha

I hope it's a bust and I hope it doesn't come up here. Just bought a new grill for the holiday weekend and I'd like to use it.

Hey Phil I hope you'll get the chance to use it too, did you get one of them pellet grills, I hear they're supposed to be pretty good...no more adding wood and watching over the fire, although I sort of enjoy doing all that...good luck buddy, be safe.

Is it possible that this storm will skirt the east coast of Florida and head towards the Savannah area and possibly South Carolina..I have been watching the Ventusky and they have it taking this route..this ventusky model has always been pretty close to on the money, just a heads up..It would be great to see this thing pulled out into the Atlantic and fall apart far from any land....

Yeah that's what one of the models is showing, last night it showed it making landfall at St Cathrinnes Island (which is were we sit on the beach), today it shows it kinda stalling and moving slowly up the coastline. Next couple of days will be more accurate.

They've got a new OL and QB. We were a muffed punt away from winning that game. Just to many mistakes which is typical. Everyone be safe down there and let's hope the storm is a bust.

How do you BBQ crumpets? rofl Not crumpets. Phil's going to grill up some spotted dick! This storm looks like it's going to ruin somebody's day. Y'all keep your heads down. I'm with Simple Man, this thing has no business in the Gulf.

Just checked Ventusky model @ 0355 and now it shows this thing making landfall between West Palm and Fort Lauderdale and moving across the state east to west into the Tampa area...very close to the Gulf...fingers crossed..stay safe everyone.

looking now like it's going to make landfall around Port St Lucie and make it's way FL to pay us a visit in GA. Crabs, I've not tried Spotted Dick on the grill, might be worth a go though .

This thing is now predicted to hit the Bahamas, it is then predicted to move about 100 miles off the coast of Florida and towards the coastal waters of Georgia and into the areas (off the coast) of the Carolinas before heading out to sea...All you folks please stay vigilant...We here in South Florida are still not completely in the clear,we are still expected to receive tropical storm winds and rain causing flooding...the best case scenario is that this thing will move far enough off the coast of the U.S. where none of us will be affected by a direct hit...fingers crossed...Be safe everyone....On positive note the fishing should really turn on after this thing goes away...Heads up..there is a tropical depression developing off the coast of Africa the might develop and also head our way..I hope not...

Thanks for the report gtightline. We've got the grandkids this weekend and they won't let me watch anything but cartoons on the living room TV Guess I'll have to check the weather on one of the others later today but glad to see it's expected to stay off the coast. Last report I saw for our area said we will probably get some wind but not any rain out of it.

Looks like it will follow the gulf stream up to the north which puts it 80 miles off GA, think we're gonna be ok.

Abaco is going to be demolished. That's for sure, some of the videos coming out of the Bahamas are downright scary...one woman blown out of her house with her children, on video asking the world to pray for them and the islands...not sure if any of you have seen the video, but she had to leave her home because the roof had blown off, and while she looked for cover people were being swept away by the storm surge...heart breaking to say the least....prayers for these people...
