From God's (NHC's) mouth to our ears:

Quote

Zeta still has a few hours to intensify before it begins to
move over the cooler waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico, and
southwesterly shear is likely to increase by the time the center
reaches the coast.  Even if a little weakening begins later today,
however, Zeta should maintain hurricane strength through landfall.
The official intensity forecast is near the high end of the model
guidance.

So, high Cat 1 (that's the "high end of the model".  Close enough for horseshoes or hurricane intensity forecasts.  Potent sucker but not in the same league as the others, which I know for that area doesn't mean squat.  Still it's better than "worse than the others."

I'm shocked at how fast he/she/it moved across the Gulf.  That has to be some kind of record going from Southern Coast to Northern Coast in, what, 24 hours or less?

Is there anywhere to watch coverage? None of the cable news stations seem to think this is worth covering and local Atlanta news isn’t ready to go wall-to-wall yet (but schools are canceled tomorrow).

Youtubetv doesn’t have the weather channel.

A little late to the thread, but this site has live Weather Channel for future reference. I assume you're a fellow cord cutter.

Finally got an update on when we should have power restored: Monday at 11pm. That will be four days and 19 hours.

Generators sold out everywhere.

For some inexplicable reason, my wife bought 10 bags of ice for a party tomorrow night. I filled two fridge-freezers and my deep freeze. If you can get to Austin in the next few hours I have three bags you can take

After Laura I told my wife that I wasn't taking the plywood off of our windows (some of the south-facing) until Christmas. Looks like that proclamation still stands.

But is the trampoline still staked down? That’s what important.

Staked and standing tall. Like a beacon of bouncing delight.

go home ETA, you're drunk.....and not looking at both the Keys and then maybe the Panhandle

ETA-11-6-2020-10am

This is one zig zagging SOB.

Started east to west.

Now headed west to north east.

Then it’ll shift again.... and most likely shift back once more.

Drunk indeed.

Damnit, water around our house is still up quite a bit from the storms that have come around the tip of Florida the last couple months. Rainfall numbers coming along with this one are concerning.
