2020 Tropical Storms/Hurricanes

[princesscinderella]

I’m in so fla and if it was heading right for us they would put the news on 24/7 with no regular programming. That hasn’t happened so I think we will be ok down here. I sadly took down all my trader Sam tiki mugs from my enchanted tiki patio at my house in preparation just in case. We have hurricane windows so there’s nothing else to do but wait and watch Mother Nature’s fury out the windows. I hope the whole east coast of the state stays out of the path we don’t need more crap to deal with right now.
Disney is usually safe as long as the storm doesn’t cut across the middle of the state (which rarely happens) because it’s in the center of the state.

Orlando projected to get 30-40 mph gusts but coastal areas like Vero Beach could see 90mph gusts

We've lived in Florida for 23 years. People worry way too much about Orlando, when a hurricane is approaching. It's too far inland to have significant damage. Yes, there may be rain & some wind with a strong hurricane, but I've never seen any significant damage as far inland as Orlando is. I've also never seen a tornado do major damage in Orlando. WDW is a great place to be, if there's a hurricane hitting Florida.

Hurricane charley went right through Orlando and did a lot of damage. Charley came ashore in punta Gorda (west coast) and went right up the center of the state. My daughter had to evacuate UCF, after Hurricane I drove back to Orlando and saw all the damage.

Good news. Isaias has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm as of the 5pm advisory.

Watching the Governor now. Isaiah is expected to be upgraded again tonight to hurricane status.

Chad Meyers (meteorologist CNN) explaining now that convection is reforming on the north side of the storm - meaning it is feeding in the warm Gulf Stream and will strengthen.

He says not likely to be a cat 2... but a Cat 1 is likely...

Good news. Isaias has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm as of the 5pm advisory.

But is expected to restrengthen into a hurricane later tonight. Also, the latest track is now more inland/west than earlier today.

ETA: storm's eye is expected to land near Titsuville and run up A1A.
