What are the odds that a bunch of EWU fans are going to start calling us cowards for canceling the game?

As of right now Gainesville looks to have the possibility of a direct hit. No chance the game is played if that happens.

Some recent models are showing it making landfall south of Tampa though.

Yeah...I wouldn't be surprised if it did cut more to the right. Be interesting to see if 11pm nudges it a little more right. They have it about tarpon springs at 5pm looking at the NHC cone.

A direct hit is still just a lot of rain and gusts of wind. It's not that strong of a storm and in the middle of the state, that's a big "meh". I say let them play and give us a fun game to watch. I'd go watch it just for the hell of it :lol:
 
Yeah..in 2002 I took my 14 year old son to the Ohio game. Can't remember the name of the storm but it caused a huge thunderstorm that stopped the game for almost an hour. We had great 50 yard line seats. And when the rain started half the stadium left. So all the students moved down to our section.Students were running out on the field water sliding and the lightning was so bad the cops just stayed in the tunnels and watched. This very hot. wet t-shirt and wet shorts/black thong coed started flirting with my son. He still calls it his favorite gator game ever.

one of my friends lost her flip flop in the flood on the walking back to my house.
 
Shit. I've been shopping and dealt with the insane amount of panic buyers last night. The rudeness and cuntery was Christmas Eve level. But I actually had to go, not because of the storm, but because I know Publix will close and I had to wait until I had the kid to get some shit she'll actually eat instead of being a picky brat.

She later decides she wants beef jerky. Sounds good, back to the store at 7am to get a london broil. People were already lining up at 7am to get the last of the water and canned soup.

And here I sit and realize, both times I forgot the 1 main item I wanted to get. I need it anyway, but also precautionary just in case a tree limb knocks out the electricity. I have no lighter fluid.

Get a charcoal chimney and newspaper. I use 1 Alligator newspaper for a fire. I have two 45 gallon trash cans I fill with water just off the back deck to use for toilets and washing dishes. Tub wont hold water long.

I have a chimney and never use it. It takes forever. Half the time even using lighter fluid, the chimney did a shit job with the coals. Newspaper burns out too damn quick unless you buy matchlight charcoal, which I don't.

I do however have one of those large yard torches attached to a 20 lb propane tank. Worst case, that's how it's getting started.

Luckily my tubs hold water no problem. I accidentally left one of them full for several days not long ago. My shit ass iMac was running like shit and I have no idea where the hard drive with all my personal info is in those things since it just looks like a monitor. Instead of looking it up, I just filled a tub with water and put the iMac in the tub of water for a day and fried that whole fucking thing :lol: Then I forgot about the tub since I never go in that bathroom and the kid wasn't here. 4 or 5 days later, full tub still.

We line the tub with visqueen, so it doesn't leak out.

Our biggest issue will be water. No power, no well.

The solar generator will be a lifesaver. We deployed the panels for a test run last weekend. From a 100% charge, we ran the fridge, internet, fan, 2 lamps and had two phones, a smartwatch and earbuds charging. 6 hours later, it was still over 50% charge. If we're careful, we should be okay without power. If it stays cloudy, we can charge the generator from the vehicles.
