I just saw a 3:00 update that showed it heading a bit more to the West. So skirting right up the coast and coming directly over Jacksonville. Hopefully at the 5:00 updates it will show it back to the East.

I hope it goes somewhere like Raleigh or Memphis or even Jacksonville or a city along those lines instead of a bigger metro area like Boston, Chicago, NYC, etc.

Even the warehouses Amazon is opening here in Jax are having a huge impact on the employment market. I am guessing we will have trouble staffing our warehouse during Q4 because of that.

If they did choose to open the HQ here I know it would have a huge effect on our compensation packages if they wanted to keep anyone around here. Most departments based here would definitely lose people and they would have to pay more to keep the rest of them around or attract new talent.

>My current best guess

Seems pretty accurate. My firefighter brothers-in-law in the Hilton Head area are getting ready for a hit up there. If it is above category 3 (don't think it will be) they have to evacuate too.

Still tracking 50-70 miles off shore here so other than a lot of wind (probably 50-70 mph) and rain we should be fine.

And we are back to the East side of the state. Would like this to make another tick East. Looking a bit too close for comfort. Miami/FLL isn't looking good right now.

Looks like this could follow the same path as Charley once it hits Florida. Land around Ft. Meyers, head up just east of Orlando and hit the ocean around Palm Coast or St. Augustine.

Guessing Napels-Ft. Meyers are getting hammered too.

>plowing up the center of Florida

That bright green line is problematic.

Other than that if it goes all the way up through Florida like this I would assume the storm would lose some of its steam by the time it got up to us. Probably still a lot of rain but the wind wouldn't necessarily be as destructive. Am i just fooling myself?

>I think this is just too far out to bank on, but I'm logging it here to see how it will compare to the actual track

Yeah, that is what it seems like will happen. Kind of just depends on how far west it goes before turning North.

Yeah, I am going to start the early preparations. Not liking the way this is tracking.

What are you thinking about this one RC? Some models have it hitting here in FL, some have it moving farther north, and some have it just staying out to sea.

My brother in law and his family are in Montrose and the La Tuna Canyon fire is getting a bit too close for comfort.

That really isn't too bad. Luckily his most important equipment (his bbq pits) are probably just fine. Nothing flammable on those.

A friend in Idaho said houses in the path of the eclipse were going for up to $10k a night.

When I went to Zambia a few years back there was an eclipse and my plane was full of Euros going to Zimbabwe to see it. It is crazy how much people will spend on eclipses.

Yeah, you guys would be shocked at what little $2 million will buy you on the West side of the Bay Area, probably the equivalent of a $60k home in Cleveland.

When they moved our paid search team from Jacksonville to SF 4 of the guys who all lived on their own here had to move in together in a 2 bedroom to afford a place to live.
