Not now, Nicole.

I know what I'm doing Wed. More tropical storm prep! Not as severe as hurricane prep but still necessary. I'm betting we'll get more rain with this than Ian. Current track has it going right over our head.

Nicole info

Yeah, I just heard about this. By the time it gets to us, it should be a piece of cake compared to Ian. But yeah, lots of rain will suck. 

In reply to DrBoost :

On the plus side, the temps for the weekend look about 10 degrees cooler which will be a nice break.

I read an article that talked about hurricanes as a way in which the planet transfers heat to keep temperatures in balance/regulated. I hadn't really thought of it that way, but it makes sense. We had some super nice weather for the week after Ian.  Temperatures like October in FL "used" to be.

Yay!

Guess what I did yesterday? Yup, cleaned gutters. 

Meanwhile, NASA just rolled SLS out to the pad again. Bad luck!

We're looking at 3 days of rain as it circles us. 

I'm dead center of the current model expected landfall and about a mile or so from the coast, yay.  Glad I rebuilt the exterior of my house and got a new roof last year.

Fun.  I'm driving from PA to Stuart on Wednesday and Thursday to meet my elderly parents (with their car) who are flying down to PBI on Friday afternoon.  

At least it will only be you and the utility trucks heading south.

Let me know if you need a hand. 

In reply to Sonic :

Just in case make sure you get gas before getting to Stuart. 

I spent last night doing Ian cleanup AND Nicole prep. Been in Florida 13 months. I've been told I'm an official floridian now LOL.  
I'm supposed to head to Stuart next week for work. We'll see how that goes. This is only supposed to be a cat 1, right?

Im going to disneyworld. (seriously. I think i'm gonna hang out at disney those days. ) 

In reply to DrBoost :

Cat 1, if that.

Latest update has it landing just north of Stuart, should be fine next week.

Us flyover states have literally no idea what youre talking about. 

Wishing you luck from the land of corn and salt.

Yeah, you guys just get tornadoes :)

Looks like Nicole is taking aim at Cape Kennedy. Someone is tired of the SLS.

In reply to Keith Tanner :

Probably NASA.

I shouldnt kid...about a decade ago, Ike took off my roof and wrecked "2 burshes and a fents" in my yard. This was SW Ohio. Mother nature is a B.

I wish you all good luck with the storm ,

We had the first rain of the season , only an inch or so at my place by LAX airport and we all think the world is coming to an end .

The state of Florida autocross championship was scheduled in October to be hosted by the SW Florida group Gulf Coast Autocrossers. They have a large venue at Buckingham Field, in Lehigh Acres, which is in the Fort Meyers area. Hurricane Ian has closed down their venue for the rest of the year, so the event was rescheduled on the East coast, at the Port Saint Lucie county fairgrounds for this weekend. The host will be Equipe Rapide.

With Nicole looming, their lot is being used to stage power company trucks this week, so that's off.

Current plan is to reschedule the event for December 18.

Definitely a first world problem. I hope there's not too much destruction from Nicole, and no loss of life.

Well, the good news is that now I know :). Are you going to be there? I will come by. 

Last I auto crossed with ER was at their Hialeah Park venue. Maybe 2005 or so. Been to some both inside and outside of the Homestead speedway. Did not know of this venue. 

In reply to Slippery :

Totally.  I'm staying above a half tank once I hit FL. I expect Thursday to be quite soggy, at least I have good tires and a fresh coat of rain x.  

In reply to Slippery :

Good! Looks like the tracks are going a little more northwest as it crosses the state. Good. I look at all these houses around here (not mine, fortunately) that have tarps for roofs and just don't want to see their bad situations made worse. The folks south of us REALLY don't need anything more.

I'm registered, and the registration from this week will transfer to the December date. Definitely planning to be there. come on by!

I'll either be driving my Miata, or my civic. Hopefully the Miata.

I've competed with this club just one time, when they were using a small oval at the fairgrounds, which wasn't at all a good autocross location. There's now a pretty good size parking lot, which is where the club set up their courses.
