Black Panther 1,581 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It will swing north. Currently looks to rake the entire east coast of FL. And Miami floods on sunny days. Currents don't direct them so much as air movements . They just like warm water to feed them energy. If this one had gone to gulf states it would have been apocalyptic.

MarkMT 68 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Compared with Willow's video, it seems like Florida got off relatively lightly. Of the youtube channels I follow, those in Florida that have reported in so far have come through ok. One couple got stuck in St Marten and predictably lost their boat. Webb Chiles boat, Gannet, was on the hard in Marathon in preparation for the final leg of his circumnavigation and satellite photos indicate that she seems to be ok.
