No disrespect to those affected but this is the most piss poor looking storm I've ever seen.

Maybe so, but consider CNN says new orleans spent 2.1 mil to remove the statues, which was was sold to the tax payers (both of them) that the removal would be paid by private funds. The private funds amounted to $170,000, leaving the tax payers in the hook for over 90% of the 'free' revisionist program.

$2 mil would have bought a lot of upgrades, cleaning, maintenance and repairs in an honest system, but in a blue city, you see what it does...

Not saying that two million didn't come from the purchase and maintenance of new pumps but, is there any documentation of funds being diverted?

A few small limbs already down this morning around my place. No real wind to speak of but some nasty mist before the real stuff hits here in a few hours. Expecting nearly 18" locally but hoping for a hell of a lot less than that.

Pretty easy day, just started to get some semi-steady rain and about 20ish mph winds with 30ish gusts. Heavy stuff is still to come, supposedly...

Whatever happens Barry is taking his sweet ass time that's for sure.

Well that escalated quickly. I needed to buy this year's hurricane goodies anyway...

Yep, the leeward islands are going to get fooked. Puerto Rico will be without power again for another few months, politics will be fun. Florida is going to get an enema is appears.

I truly hope this thing doesn't jump into the gulf and reorganize. It really sucks for the Caribbean islands and Florida for [hopefully] taking the brunt of this storm, it really does.

I'm waiting for the local media to start talking about Hugo again since that was 30 years ago. The timing of this one sucks for me personally since it looks like the holiday weekend will be a washout. Or if it takes a turn to the GA/SC coast, a whole lot more.

Not looking good for Florida. Also, looks like it'll enter the gulf with some steam still. Wonder if it'll make it all the way to Texas like Rita did.

If it hits the gulf, it's going to intensify quick with how hot the water is

Euro model has it crossing FL into the Gulf but then turning North across the panhandle and continuing to curl NE to hit Savannah from the SW. GFS model has it turning and tracking the FL coast to Savannah like Matthew did. Savannah must be the new alternative to single wides and tornados.

Cancelled my business trip to Tampa. Was supposed to fly in Tuesday morning. Looks like it might be a doozie.

There is a low zone north of Dorian that is supposed to head due west. That one could be one to watch for Texas next weekend

Yeah, this one looks a lot like Matthew in that the forward speed really defines how far up the coast this one will hit. It's far too early to tell with any certainty at this point. South/Central Florida all the way up to where I am and beyond are still at play here.

My wife and daughter are flying to Orlando tomorrow out of IAH. Supposed to return Monday afternoon. Is it a bad idea for them to go or is it just going to be a rainy weekend at Disney?

Good luck getting flights out. MCO will be a total disaster. Their security already sucks with a single entry point.

I hate MCO when there isn't a Cat4 hurricane on top of it

the good news for those thinking of traveling is it seems the forecast has it slowing down quite a bit. the steering currents aren't really doing much.

but i wouldn't take the chance. too much uncertainty. and of course the storm slowing down means a sustained impact..

If it keeps slowing down, and maintains that turn north, it's gonna mess up the Clemson game.

It'll be something to watch, but not sure. Clemson's pretty far inland. Could be some weather, sure, but not sure anything serious.

Like txaggie_08 says, Clemson is inland, close to Tennessee. If the storm moves northeast hugging the coastline, then you would be on the western side and perhaps not have as much impact. The problem is that diagram is a little too far out in their tracking (to predict for Clemson) and sometimes the storms produce tornadoes etc. Hopefully, the hurricane will make landfall with minimal impact, but I am afraid that Florida is in for a nasty time of it.
