Looks like this hurricane is going to go further south than they anticipated to me.

I am born and raised here in Ft Myers and seen many storms like this in that time. It gets ugly when you evacuate and the damn things takes a turn towards where you thought was safe. Im currently in zone B for storm surge and have very tall pepper trees around my house for cushion against the wind. If you are staying, do what you can and I hope everyone that here is prepared mentally for whats coming.
Dont forget to get pictures of your home and everything valuable. That includes model and serial numbers of electronics. Also turn your AC off at the main pannel during the storm. This will help with any power surge but wont do jack if your ac is under water.
Goodluck to all!

Some people may also want to take some portable heirloom type things like old photographs, just in case.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get how anyone can live in Florida and deal with f'n hurricanes all the time. Insanity.

Florida really didn't deal with this level of hurricanes on a consistent basis in the past. In my 17 years in the Tampa area, I never had a problem. Now, I wonder how all this will shake out. Will people start leaving the state? Will insurance be so expensive that people just can't live anywhere near the coast? It's going to be a mess for a long time. I'd love to move back to Tampa but now would not be the time.

I guess it's kinda similar here in TN with the uptick in tornadoes. I can can't imagine buying property where in any given year a big storm can take it out.

Good point about the insurance. And isn't there another hurricane coming??

On October 9, 1992


The Peekskill Meteorite, one of the most historic meteorite events on record. Traveling at a cosmic velocity of approximately 25,000 miles per hour before piercing Earth's atmosphere on a Friday night, the descent of the Peekskill meteorite was captured across the East Coast by a record 16 different localities on hand to tape various high school football games. The vast majority of meteorite descents are never caught on tape — and none have been captured to this day from as many different cities. The multiple perspectives provided the ability to calculate the meteorite's flight path to Earth, including its orbit around the sun, an exceedingly rare opportunity for the scientific community. As a result of the rare circumstances regarding its descent and impact into a car—another rarity—the meteorite, simply known as 'Peekskill' in scientific parlance, enjoys a rare level of fame.

I say this with empathy: I'd hate, hate, hate to be a property owner in Florida right now--even above and beyond the expected damage from these storms.

If these storms cause a bit of a mass exodus, and prevent people from wanting to live in (or move to) Florida due to the concerns you state above, the property value will tank and lots of poor Florida residents will be stuck. The market there would collapse and lots of people would lose wealth they probably spent a lifetime accumulating.

Insurance is already ridiculous. It will only go higher. I think your scenario is very plausible.

So help me understand this, once a player agrees to a scholarship they are locked in to that school? Or will this open the door for some school to come to a guy, in say March, and offer more to a player to try and get them to enroll at their school in the summer?

I hope this is setting up much more binding NIL deals and scholarships. It will be a vast improvement over the wild wild west we have now. It will be handled by the lawyers. The self redshirting was the last straw. Maybe the players have had their heyday and now things will return to a sustainable equilibrium.

Lots of people can't afford the insurance.....and are just "risking it."


Also......
There is so much piled up debris from the last Hurricane that hasn't been picked up..............just gonna blow away and cause more damage.
I was just in Fort Myers Beach, and to think they are going to go through the same thing as Ian (2022)...............so sad.

Prayers for everyone down there...............
