update, florida evac

Posted by treefrog @ 14:24 on September 7, 2017  

i just went out to pick up some extra preps – probably overdoing it.  interstate ten, 150 miles west of jacksonville (northeast corner of florida more or less), westbound lanes crowded, but moving well – maybe 60-65 mph  not quite bumper to bumper yet.  almost no eastbound traffic. the auto parts shop in monticello is doing a brisk business in 5 gallon gas cans.  they thought ahead and ordered a couple dozen extra.  they are moving well despite a stiff mark-up.

if the noaa projection:

hurricane-irma-path-noaa-map-851019

continues to play out, the storm center will pass 200-250 miles to the east of here.  we can look for some wet, blustery weather.

this latest noaa projection puts the storm track a little to the east (further from me) of the former projection.  i’m going to hunker down here.  if the projection changes, i may re-evaluate.  crunchtime is still 2-3 days ahead.   a lot can happen in 3 days.
