Disneyland is in California and being that this hurricane will certainly not reach that far, he should be fine.
This was all forecast to happen as climate change progresses. Extremes will be enhanced. It's happening world wide, record breaking events occurring with shorter timeframes between each one. Honestly if climate change was only about rising water levels and a couple of degrees hotter it would be easy to tackle. Natural weather disasters and food security which result in political instability are bigger issues.

So, uh... Climate change?
The unfortunate reality is a lot of people that don't evacuate simply are unable to. Some people lack a place to go, some lack transportation, and many would rather go out with their property than lose it all and be unable to replace it. An early state of emergency declaration should help some in this case, but you're always gonna have people that would rather go down with their property than lose it all.

Anyone made an IrmaGERD joke yet? Want to get it out of the way before any fatalities.

In Gainesville, will probably get slammed. Have family in Pinellas County, will probably get slammed harder. Not looking forward to this

If FLP fails, I call for the BANNING OF DYSUN!!!!!!!!!
Be safe out there, bud. Y'all deserve all the blessings..
Is this negro humor? Negro humor always escapes me..
Being in Jax the only real place to go is Georgia, soooo...weighing those options.
On a serious note i'm more worried about my sis in Naples/Bonita. They have been having horrible flooding issues the last week or so and their roads are already rivers. She will never leave her place because of all the animals they have.

I got one earlier this week.
Much appreciated, it will be a giant undertaking to make sure electricity stays on or is restored as quickly as possible if it does make landfall.

A look back at Katrina's path.
Found some water, got some propane and a new grill. Non perishables, all that.
Also, I bought one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AXLUX2/?tag=neogaf0e-20 when Matthew was coming and it can hold a lot of water. Maybe look into it.

What are the chances it becomes a category 5? High?
Well in fairness, if a hurricane actually hit jax it would shit all over jax

I noticed that other people had similar responses.
In another thread that is strictly political, GAFers say these sorts of things somewhat regularly (examples: Bugs Bunny .gif sawing off Florida; hoping that boomers die off so that the political climate can shift). That's where this person's attitude came from.
Unfortunately for them, this is not the appropriate topic for such sentiment.
While I'm still here, this image is NUTS!

Except for the beaches area. Many places and businesses there are still fucked from Matthew and haven't recovered or gotten paid.
Matthew didn't even make landfall.

The beaches got killed last year. So many houses destroyed.
Yeah that storm was such a dud for people inland. Literally about 40 mins without power in the afternoon and stayed on once it came back on.

This.
We might be looking at Andrew levels of fucked, here with a margin of error roughly the size of the state.
In any case, I won't be cooping up. There will be people who need help in my area. I've already stocked up on enough drinking water and non-perishables for a week or so just in case.
Matthew was extremely fortunate for Florida in that it barely avoided making landfall. Drawing conclusions from Matthew is dangerous.

Except this time there is a cold from moving through Texas os Wednesday that will push Irma back eastward

Wasn't hurricane Matthew a 5? East Florida was extremely lucky the storm changed track and grazed the coast instead.
My neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale gets flooded pretty regularly. Miami is probably the worst though.
Matthew was a little bitch. You don't want a CAT 5 eye wall hitting you directly ever no matter where you live.

The water temps in those last two dots is incredibly warm. Not good
Uhhh...head on but no landfall? Jax is completely surrounded by water. If/when a hurricane makes landfall there, its fucked. Thought about this while driving over the Buckman today

I live near Tampa in Paco County. Would I be alright or would I need to bail?

If it hugs Cuba it will weaken, scary that it might end up in the gulf without landfall

We got lucky with Matthew last year. Even then it still f'd up the beaches, the pier is still closed, and st. Augustine, Flagler area etc got hit pretty good. I was out in Ponte Vedra Beach Fri night and the dunes are still f'd up/can see damage on some of the mansions still etc. My neighborhood in southside floods during a good summer shower. Jax would absolutely get wrecked with a storm like this hitting head on.
We've been lucky though. Let's hope it stays that way.
