181pl Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 All games cancelled. But that's just another typical over-reaction from the powers that be. The excuse was that the schools will be shelters. For who, I don't know. I guess some folks coming up from the south but if that's the case, most people would go past Tampa to get farther away from the storm.

ThunderRam Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Well, after finally completing all the renovations on Hard Rock Stadium, those improvements sure are going to be put to the test. I read that the stadium is built to withstand a category 4 hurricane. I guess we'll find out soon enough if that's true or not. Reports indicate it should be a 4 by the time it hits Miami, though I suppose it could be 5 still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealCAJ Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Looks bad for Miami.... Ocean flooding while the wind guts the tops of the high rises. Top and Bottom storm if you will. Totally different storm than Harvey. Best thing to do is bolt now.... Best of luck. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 They keep adjusting the path westward, making the new center for landfall at Key Largo and staying west instead of bouncing back into the ocean as first told. Looks like Tuesday-Wednesday the eye of then tropical storm Irma would be on top of Macon, Georgia. The move to stay put for Rufus is starting to look like the best move, as North Morven looks to take a possible direct hit from a Category 1 storm. 75-100 mph winds sustained for any amount of time is nothing nice in the pecans and pines of south Georgia. Stay safe down there gentlemen. I'm thinking it's probably too late to run for people like Zoe so I'm thinking of you man. I hope you made the right choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it shifts any more west were F'd. The geography of Tampa Bay is unique. It is a very shallow body of water (less than 100 feet) and it has a low lying peninsula (S. Tampa, where I live) in the middle. If the hurricane hugs the coast, the counterclockwise wind will push all of the water in our bay over peninsular Tampa. If it is a strong enough hurricane, we'll have water to or over our roofs. No place to run. I'm boarding up tonight and hauling ass tomorrow if it shifts any more west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
