2019 Hurricane Thread

They have linemen staged all over right now, including a huge assemblage at the Orange County Convention Center, which makes me happy since i live about two miles away. Living on the edge of the tourist district has some advantages, especially when it comes to being a priority for power restoration.

Just the waiting game now. First tiny squall made it's way to Lakeland. I should be good compared to Orlando, but hopefully, it doesn't come further west. I'm in for the next couple of days. Got our snacks, our entertainment, and our rum.

EPCOT had surprisingly decent crowds given that outer rain bands have already started. Magnets and coasters a powerful motivator.

Rain really starting to hit MK area currently...

Linemen from all over the country have arrived in Sumterville, FL. To the folks in Dorian’s path, my dad, my uncles, and their coworkers will have you sorted out as quickly as humanly possible. : pics

I love that.

SeaWorld just announced all three parks closed tomorrow (Tuesday). No word on Wednesday yet for any of the parks, but this storm is moving so slowly, who knows...

Maybe they changed there mind about closing tomorrow since it’s not a direct hit right now.

The area is still forecasted tropical storm winds with potential hurricane (or as close to) gusts. It's closing. Just a matter of when they announce it, and what hours.

Universal canceled HHN related rehearsals for tonight, so that’s something on their end.

I don’t really understand this at all. Why not cancel for tomorrow night? Nothing serious is going to happen in Orlando tonight or day tomorrow.

They’re going to be spending the time doing other things.

As far as UOR I was told they’re more beholden to the local governments warnings and such than Disney. I fully expect them to close early tomorrow afternoon.

The news just reported that both USF and IOA will be open as normal tomorrow, but Volcano Bay will be closed.

Probably best not to mix a hurricane and a volcano.
