2019 Hurricane Thread

No change from Disney yet:

Not surprising, usually Disney waits till 24 hours prior before announcing operations changes. Universal usually beats them by a few hours but they're very close.

Getting ready for the next update soon.

I hope Disney have learned their lessons from last time. I forget what exactly happened but something to do with a crappy packed lunch?

Yeah it was something like a cold sandwich, cookie, and an apple for $14 or something. Of course the usual terrible people defended it because they're terrible but it was bad.

We will be updating our article as well.

Seems to keep moving east more and more. Hopefully this is what happens

Short Pump area?

Yes! Short pump mall. We were in corporate housing just across Broad (?) street I think?

 

[The Storyteller]

had to evacuate from campus today. i go to school in st augustine and no matter the direction it goes, it’ll still lend us with some insane flooding. thankfully, my roommate and i are in a place high enough above sea level where we won’t be too terribly flooded.

it seems like no matter when or where it hits, it’s gonna be gnarly. hhn and universal in general have been dead silent so i wonder if they’re in a lot of preparation meetings. either way, i have a bad feeling that opening will be delayed

Looking better now that this thing could just run parallel to the coast instead of coming onshore.

I saw this. I really hope so.

I'm starting to question whether or not this will make landfall in Florida at all

 

[Tbad556]

Officially a CAT 4...

[Nick]

Even if no landfall, Cat 4 weather/winds will still make for a very unpleasant time. Also, if it doesn’t make landfall, the storm will remain a strong storm until it likely would hit the Carolinas.

 

[NJBrandon]

Well at least everyone now has bottles of water to last them the next 10 years.

While I agree, there is a blessing to be on the western SW side of a hurricane as it will mean far less rain for the region.

And gas. And hurricane parties that I will be having no matter what happens bc I bought cake, Nachos and other food as if it were the Super Bowl...
