The Army Corp has Lake Okeechobee at about 15.5 feet. Hurricane season is just starting. If levels get to 16.5 feet. They will start major discharges east and west. If it comes to that the coasts are going to be mess. The Corp has been letting the level rise and the lake algee levels are very high.
RTF: Bite your tongue.
In Jacksonville, we’re all hoping it goes to the west. The current projected path looks like it’s west of Orlando and the St John’s River so the river won’t flood from the south anyway.
Archie: I like how the “cone” in your first post updates every time the National Hurricane Center updates theirs.
This hurricane is going to do a "Crazy Ivan".

Isn’t that where it makes a sudden turn and comes up on you from behind???
Yes, it certainly is warm enough this year. Hopefully it isn’t too bad for the people living there.
What about the boats in Tampa Bay at marinas? 15 ft of storm surge will probably wipe out piling and leave floats and boats to be washed in with the storm surge.
I hope all the TF people are out of harm’s way!
5 am storm surge forecast. 4-6 is still a lot for Tampa Bay but better than north of them.
Yes. The low lying areas will get flooded. My boat at Tarpon appears to have crested 1 foot above the docks and coming down. Hopefully that's the peak. We have another King tide at 1228 this afternoon. In addition the river will swell due to rain. But the wind should be less. Ill be on the boat to see how all that equates.
