I remain in West Kendall but another 3 Mls to the West of my former location.

They say every year is going to be busy. Sky is falling, sky is falling. BE SCARED!!!!! PANIC!!!!!!

FEAR
FEAR
FEAR

Just be prepared and don't be an idiot. All you can do.

And ignore all the MSM blathering. They never know where the hurricane will make landfall until about 12 hours before it makes landfall.

This is Florida. Hurricanes are a part of life here. It's not a matter of if but when. Just like the midwest has tornadoes, the north has blizzards and the west has earthquakes and landslides. Have to adjust to where you live and be prepared.

Also other areas along the Gulf and coast to Washington DC has to be prepared for hurricanes, not just FL.

But of Course....I wouldn't live here since 1973 and not know what to expect yearly between June and November.

And If I didn't like it I would have left many, many Moons ago !!!

Why people LIVE and constantly move into Tornado Alley ???

I don't want an inch of it, but people move there and they are happy. It's called the Weather Roulette.

And In america more that 80% of the Population Play it Every Year perfectly aware of what the results can be where they reside.

I like this REPORT better than the WC (Water Closet Weather Channel)

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
730 PM EDT Tue May 12 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued to discuss the potential
for subtropical development this weekend northeast of the Bahamas.

1. 1. A broad area of low pressure is expected to develop late this
week or early this weekend a couple of hundred miles north of
the Bahamas. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development of this system, and a subtropical depression or storm
is likely to form this weekend while it moves northeastward over
the western Atlantic. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook on
this system will be issued by 9 AM EDT Wednesday, or earlier, if
necessary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.


Nothinn to worry about !!!

I nailed it 5 days ago with my original post!

I thought this season would begin early...70% of Tropical Storm Arthur by this weekend...this is a fact. I saw it coming when the last system came to us from the South. That is a predictor.
