Ft. Myers here. Looks like we are now just outside of the cone. Hope I keep my power. Don't want to smoke a stinkie!
Go away, Isaac!

Hollywood here. Have gotten some sections of wind and heavy-ish rain from the outer bands, but nothing much more than normal. Guessing that's about all we'll end up seeing. Oh well, I had today and tomorrow off of work, anyhow.
2004 maybe?
I was in Orlando and also got to deal with Charley. 90mph sustained at MCO, with 105mph gusts.Fingers crossed for those that need the rain.
Fairly calm in Orlando still, but the storm is too far south still to overly affect us. Tho on Thursday we had a nice gully washer independent of Issac.
I'm more than happy dealing with our Earthquakes round these parts. No warnings, just happens and that's it. The way things should be.
Glad to hear.. that is where my mom is, in Hollywood... The 15th and Johnson area
Melbourne here, the east coast ! . We don't worry much in these parts , we are protected by NASA's invisable dome of incomprehensable space energy.
Worst case scenario, you can put a drop of juice on the tip of your tongue, and rub it on your gums.

I'm closer to the turnpike. It's been on and off throughout the day, but nothing too terrible. The worst I've seen is small limbs and dead palm fronds knocked down.
I'm an orlando boy of 30yrs and it seems like with the exception of the three amigos we got in 04(charlie, frances, and what ever the name of the third one was), its like orlando has a hurricane forcefield that rarely fails! Although It seems at times, like some of our afternoon summer storms are as bad if not worse then tropical storms!!
Treasure Coast of Florida checking in.
Starting to get some gusts. Electricity flickers. One dead Kgo battery.
That is all.
Over and out.

Yeah, Thursday's storm was way nasty. I hit a nasty outer band around Wildwood on my drive up. Down to around 45-50mph max.
So I went through a CE3 worth of juice on the drive up. 3.5 hours on the road, and just under 1.5ml of juice. Not too bad. A lot better than when I smoked. I would always end up having a cigarette about every 45m or so. I would often say "Not another one until mile marker XX or land mark such and such." Now I just take the PV out and take a few puffs and keep on keeping on.
From some of my FB feed.
You forgot one - Save more money to pay the double in the homeowners insurance next year.
Maybe one more- Make sure you have enough gas to grill after the party.
Maybe one more- The extension cord on the blender will actually reach the generator.
Fishing around here is usally bad for a week or two after. The pros are saying the full moon tides coming coulld clean it out faster this time. Unless you are staying a bit, I hope you got some fishing in before today.
Jeanne was the other one and it was the worst one here. Charley power out 2 days, Frances 1 week, Jeanne 2/12 weeks.
The eye of two of them went over my house and Charley missed by about 6 miles.
And yes, some of the T-storms are just as bad. They just don't last as a long.
Seriously wishing I had ordered a car charger last time though. Wife and I have family outside Biloxi and all over NOLA and LA.
Hope it doesn't get too bad. Good news (I guess) is Biloxi really hasn't built that much back yet. Bad news is there is nothing
on the beach to slow down the surge. Probably cover The Point all the way to the bay and then flood the bay and creeks back to I-10.
A car charger for your ecig stuff? Just goto any car parts place and you can find power port plugs that have USB ports on them. Voila, car charger for your USB based ecig charger. I got even better when I bought a charger for my phone. Has a cable with microUSB of course, but the part that plugs into the car has a USB port as well. So I can charge lots of things at once now.

Thanks for the tip! Never would have thought of it.
So we are looking at a really bad week here on the (not so) sunny Gulf coast. Right smack dab in the middle of the "cone of uncertainty", but we have never had a direct hit. We do, however, always end up on the east side of the storm. The latest models are calling for a NOLA landfall. I don't want to wish it on anyone, but that works for me.
Stocked up with sandwich and snack supplies, 2-5 gal water coolers ready to fill, getting ice Sunday or Monday, and tomorrow I will begin obsessively recharging my batts after 5 minutes of use.3 sets for my I pro will last about 3 days, so there should be no problems there.
I may end up working through the storm, which would mean an endless supply of power. Definitely wouldn't have to worry about my batteries then.
Anyway, I know I'm not alone in waiting for Isaac, so I thought I would start a thread for my fellow beach bums. Who else is in the line of fire?
11pm NHC update oput. Track continues to shift west. Looks like it will go right up the mouth of the Mississippi right now. Other models have it west of there. More toward Grand Isle. Either way Nola is gong to get some. Levee work and new stuff might get a test. Hope it doesn't develop any more.
