I went to target and saw a kid returning canned food, water, candles and flashlights because Wesh 2 said in the afternoon that the models have shifted east and it would miss Orlando. About 3 people were in line wanting to return their hurricane supplies.


This could be a fatal mistake. :(


They have been posting/tweeting about returns since first shift east was posted this morning.

Wilmington? Not unless they moved it and didn't tell me.

More than one Wilmington in the US lol. Savannah is protected by a series of barrier islands:
Tybee Island
Wilmington Island
Whitemarsh Island

Tybee is located just to the south of Hilton Head, SC. Literally...just across the mouth of the Savannah river.

Wow. I noticed that when(If) it gets to South Carolina, they expect it to no longer be a major hurricane and landfall around 110 mph. That's a 75mph wind speed reduction. They must really be expecting an unfavorable environment. So if this can stay to the east of Florida, we may get lucky and not have this landfall as a major

No offense, but you obviously don't know it that well. It's surprising because I lived on Tybee and in Savannah for a long time before we bought in the Keys....the beauty of that area of coastal Georgia was that it hadn't been hit by a hurricane in 150+ years.

And regarding landfall and technicality....Matthew just missed landfall there last year. Hasn't experienced a landfall in a. Very. Long. Time.

I am not sure what to think anymore at this point regarding it's eventual path. It's stressful, I am near Orlando and already prepared but it's frustrating not knowing what to expect. These shifts east we saw earlier I was very skeptical about, but they seem to be trending that way again and tightening up.I just hope people don't get complacent again if it does move east in the next couple days (Although for Miami looks bad either way).

For those in the impact zone who are staying put all I can say is good luck everyone. My prayers are with you. As someone who was in South Florida and went through Andrew back in 1992, I can say I don't envy you.

For the first time in all my decade and a half of tracking hurricanes, I am unnerved. Frances/Jeanne were always going to be North of me, and I knew Wilma would go quickly and probably not be a Major by the time it got to Broward County.

But I've never been more worried than with Irma. This is a monstrosity that will devastate SE FL if the forecast plays out as is. The prospect of being under the eye of a Cat 4 (or worse) in four days is makes me nauseous. I was faced with that prospect last year with Matthew, but the threat feels much more real this time. And while I evacuated Jacksonville for Matthew, it looks like I will be staying put in Fort Lauderdale for Irma. House shutters went up today. House was built year before Andrew, but the roof is less than three years old, so hopefully everything holds.

If this scenario unfolds, SE FL will be changed. I'm taking tomorrow to remember the local landmarks as they currently stand. Maybe I'll get some La Spadas for lunch and Jacksons for desert.

You're prepared and that's all you can do right now! It will shift a few more times in the next few days. You got this!

I agree, it is a really bad decision, and I don't want to get political, but the plain and simple truth is that many people cannot AFFORD to purchase unnecessary items. If it turns out they won't be needed, that money may be needed somewhere else

Caught between a rock and a hard place...

I'm sure most would want to keep the items if they could afford it.
