Bad for Badge, better for Tampa Bay area at least.  A direct hit can be better than close a miss on the wrong side.  I had hoped this would attentuate, not to be apparently.
So far, so good.

It's windy for sure.

Landfall is about 2PM. Then this thing will die down a lot. Lots of rain.

Waffle House closing?

Godspeed, badge!


Seriously, keep us posted throughout the day so we know whether or not we need to send a Rescue Party comprised of the CFB51 Navy.

My brother lives in a suburb of Tampa called Brandon. Last night he said they were going to ride it out. Luckily for him, it has appeared to move south of him.

Yup, Waffle Houses are closed and shuttered at least in Punta Gorda and Fort Myers.

Also, Ian appears to have gone off his rocker overnight. There's a good chance that Ian comes in as a full-blown Category 5.

You would be surprised how many people down here “ ride it out”.   

My home was built to withstand a Cat 5 hit, and it holds up well. But the last one a couple years ago DESTROYED my landscaping and gutters.

For sure, but GR wasn't bringing it up as a commentary on the quality of food available, but rather as an indicator of the severity of a natural disaster.  FEMA informally uses the "Waffle House Index" to determine how much aid an affected area is likely to need.

Got a few friends in Cape Coral and Clearwater.  Hoping for the best.
