Also, No mention on TSN of Lily being on waivers?

It’s weird they aren’t reporting on something that didn’t happen.

Saw that, unfortunate.

Goes to show the reality of climate change and how important survival preparedness really is.

We're about 20 miles inland as the crow flies and 62' feet above sea level (just checked again). Not worried about surge.

But, I do worry about flash flooding and hurricane force winds and tornadoes.

I have two generators, 40 gallons of reserve petrol (plus 20 in the truck), a ton of food/water, portable A/C, and about 20 major hurricanes under my belt. We'll be OK.

The beaches, barrier islands, keys, and low-lying areas are (frank)ED.

Tampa General Hospital and Davis Island will be (frank)ED.

Tampa and St. Pete aren't ready for this. You'd think they would be, but they're not. It's gonna get BAD if lands a direct hit up the bay. Think New Orleans during Katrina bad.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. I truly do not understand the lack of preparation nor the stigma associated with it.
You are well prepped and know what’s up. Good on ya.

I hope not either. Tampa hasn't had a direct hit in 100 years and the city has slacked bigtime on prep for it.

Personally, in our area, I'm most concerned about wind, and then the likely extended power outage afterwards.

I did not know that. They could be in for a world of hurt.

You seem to have a proper amount of supplies to wait out grid down. Hope you also have the right amount of brass to protect them and yourself.(Just in case) It’s one of the huge oversights I see in the Preparedness Community.

That and the lack of air fresheners in the bunker.

I'm not gonna win any protracted firefights with the Lord Humongus and his crew, but I have enough firepower to overmatch any cracked out looters. We live in a quiet anonymous suburb and I know that a couple of other houses on my street are preppers or military. There is a decent amount of firepower on this block. If we band together, this neighborhood will be safe.

The city proper will be pretty bad though. Downtown and the surrounding tourist and industrial districts are either right on the water or on low ground. A big chunk of the city is going to flood out, like the 9th Ward did during Katrina - people stranded on roofs, etc.

I also have a canoe and four kayaks, but hopefully I don't need those.

People can read their own personal politics into the data, but as someone with a front row seat to the action, it certainly feels like these storms are more frequent and more intense. I also don't recall as many storms spinning up in the Gulf of Mexico and then rapidly intensifying to cat 4 or 5 and making landfall a few days later. The big storms came off of Africa and took a couple of weeks to build strength and wander their way across the Atlantic into the Gulf. Localized spin-ups like this were a lot less frequent.

I think Gulf Coast residents need to consider that this might be the new normal and multiple major landfalls might be an annual tradition now. I'd be looking to sell and get out if I lived on the waterfront or close to it. It's not worth it. And man, insurance rates are going to explode after this. It's going to price a lot of people out, even if they want to stay they won't be able to afford it.

Haha, jokes from the guy who’s moving here-

This is absolutely key.

Hats off Stone, for a very realistic and well thought out post by someone who is literally living it. If more people could be confident enough to put their biases and preconceived notions to the side and actually look at what is happening, maybe people could grasp that things are changing. We all need to adapt and soon.

is it Monday or Tuesday by noon eastern time, Teams need to be cap compliant?

5pm Monday for the leafs I think.

Yikes. Came on looking for hockey talk - see some crazy ramblings about doomsday (that apparently is going on now? “Living it”).

Alert status red - but the sun comes up instead.


Anyhoo - They mentioned during game that Berube doesn’t like going over 20mins for forwards. If that’s the case I would play 34 for the full 2mins each PP. still eating him from regular 5v5 shifts (skating wise).

Also, Gaudette 4G in 4GP - one less goal than Robertson….some players light it up pre season and fade out as season gets serious
