Looks like most of the spaghetti models are keeping this one as a tropical low, with one as a tropical depression and one as atropical storm right now, so we shall see.

Will be a sloppy weekend ( Fri/Sat),,in any case.

Hard to tell. I just looked at the sphagetti model tracks and they all look to be trending well south of Tampa, maybe south of us over here in Charlotte County. We'll see as time goes on. And guess it depends on how big a system it is.

I've been in Vegas since Sunday, but unfortunately, due to fly back to Miami tomorrow night. If AA cancels our flight, I hope they do so before we check out tomorrow. Or even better, issues a travel advisory later today that will allow us to change our flight till Sunday or Monday. I'd hate to pack up, check out, and then get to the airport and sit around there for hours due to a flight delay and/or last-minute cancellation.

Good luck….do you have trip insurance?…I don’t bother with it on domestic trips….I have a very funny/concerned feeling about this upcoming summer. It’s been hotter earlier than usual (July/August weather for parts of May) and I’m convinced we will get hit with a hurricane. Hope I’m wrong.

It looks like Miami is going to get about 8 inches of rain this weekend. I haven't heard about wind.

Accuweather expects 10 inches plus:


https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurri...f-rain/1196279


Sewage back-up from septic tanks likely will be severe.


<<Florida hosts 2.6 million systems. Of the 120,000 in Miami-Dade County, more than half of them fail to work properly at some point during the year, helping to fuel deadly algae blooms in Biscayne Bay, home to the nation’s only underwater national park. The cost to convert those systems into a central sewer plant would be more than $4 billion....


While Virginia’s Middle Peninsula has a soggy socks problem, Miami-Dade County has a porous limestone bedrock problem. The soil under its 2.7 million South Florida residents allows septic tank effluent to reach groundwater, a problem intensified by climate change.



About half of the area’s 120,000 septic tanks were compromised during storms or wet years, according to a study. Roughly 9,000 are vulnerable to compromise or failure under current conditions. That number is expected to rise to 13,500 by 2040. The solution is to connect properties to a central sewer system, beginning with the most-threatened areas. So far, the county is using $100 million from the American Rescue Plan to begin converting homes to sewer and another $126 million to convert 1,000 commercial septic tanks. The plan is to expand sewer to the 9,000 most vulnerable properties within five to 10 years, if funding can be secured.

I don't understand this last paragraph:


<<“The septic system is the canary in the coal mine,” Stiles said. “If you’ve got a house and the septic is starting to flood, it won’t be long before the house goes. We ought to be using septic failures as an early warning system for those areas we’re going to have to take people out of.”>>
