Looks like our little place in the Tampa Bay area is right in the bullseye for this one. Unless it changes course we expect we will lose it.

What kind of winds is your place rated to withstand?

Don't hurricanes usually push north or south of Tampa Bay?

I'm confused. I thought your place was in Niceville in the panhandle?

Certainly keeping everyone in western Florida in my thoughts. Very scary stuff.

I think Niceville is just a goofy name for a place TT found and connects it with insane things complete with mileage.

Our place is in Seminole, just outside of St Pete.
Seminole is 415 miles from Niceville

What kind of winds is your place rated to withstand?

I don't know. It's about 50 years old, so it won't be up to today's standards

Don't hurricanes usually push north or south of Tampa Bay?

Usually. Tampa hasn't had a direct hit in over 100 years

Our place is in Seminole. Legend has it that an old Seminole chief who lived a couple of hundred years ago watches over the town named after his people and protects us. He came through for us in 2017 with Irma and again in 2022 with Ian. Steered them away at the last minute.

Maybe it only works on storms that start with I?

Best hopes TT, I understand there's a perfectly good clock in there.

Like Ian? Kind of a pansy name for a hurricane. Hurricanes are supposed to sound menacing like Igor or Ivan.

There are several. If only I can salvage one from the rubble.

Milton is a nerdy name.

Milton is a nerdy name.

Right. I would have chosen Mack.

Niceville is just part of Buzzboard lore just like "Shay's Jugs", "You Be the Judge", DeathStorms, Rage, Jim Moriarty, listenbuddy, Bidet, and many others.

My mom, 2 aunts, and my uncle will all be hunkering down in the Cape Canaveral area where my uncle lives. My mom and other aunt are down there on vacation. They are leaving the Villages timeshare tomorrow and heading over to the Cape Canaveral area.
