Sorry, it was a late night (early AM ) attempt at humor.

Did not know I needed to explain it but Rainband was sarcastically stating that Tampa Bay Bucs would win a Super Bowl before Helene would hit Florida.
Well, The Bucs DID win a Super Bowl a few years ago and I was comparing that to Stewart's comments about the GFS in the 11 PM discussion. (in that it "could" happen since it did before)

Since a Mod had made a sports reference I was teasing about it.
Certainly the Bucs are not expected to win the Super Bowl this year and equally Helene is not expected to hit Florida.

A Floyd scenario is certainly better than an Andrew scenario, but anything coming that close to Florida causes a lot of problems even without landfall. A lot of official preparations and actions have to take place when the EC is waiting for a recurve so close that if it doesn't happen a direct hit becomes certain.

And of course a Floyd scenario is scary for OBX and point north.
