Most definitely. I've been through a Cat 3, but it was a fast moving one. I don't envy those in Ian's slow-ass path. Please be prepared and be safe, brothers.

I’m expected to get tropical storm force winds and lots of rain. I’m definitely praying for the people who are 3 hours to the west in the Tampa area.

Should just be heavy rain and gusty winds when it reaches me, but hoping others stay safe.

And FYI, just saw this report:

Ian hit a Cuba that has been struggling with an economic crisis and has faced frequent power outages in recent months. It made landfall as a Category 3 storm on the island’s western end, devastating Pinar del Río province, where much of the tobacco used for Cuba’s iconic cigars is grown.

In another wave of unfortunate news, Hurricane Ian made landfall early this morning in Pinar del Río, Cuba, tearing away homes and tobacco barns as it cut a path of destruction across the westernmost portion of the island. ⁠

“Estamos vivos”—we are alive—tobacco grower Hirochi Robaina told Cigar Aficionado this morning. He owns Cuba’s best-known tobacco farm, Cuchillas de Barbacoa, which suffered considerable damage to buildings and barns, with tractors flipped over, roofs shorn from buildings, trees stripped of foliage and tobacco tarps shredded by the winds. ⁠

And while Cigar Aficionado only had direct evidence of damage at the Robaina farm, it’s certain to not be the only example. Robaina’s land is in the middle of Cuba’s most important cigar tobacco region.⁠

It's looking better for us than it did. We live about 35-40 miles west and little north of Jacksonville, a couple days ago most models predicted pretty much a pass right over us, then it started getting further east. Maybe 50 to 60is mph gusts and a bunch of rain. We have already had more than normal rain for the last month or two.

Looking like by the time it crosses the state it will be a tropical storm. Fingers crossed.

I'm about sixty miles west of Mobile and it's cool and dry with a bit of wind. It's beautiful here.

Thinking about all our Inmates in Ian's path. Hoping the storm is merciful and you all stay safe.

Regarding Cuba, I read through another source that Robaina's farm was completely destroyed. Not sure how to confirm that though.

Just now saw some photos from there, posted by Robaina's grandson, I believe. They were on the phone of the downtown Cincinnati tobacco shop owner. Whole lot of damage!

I share your thoughts about our B/SOTLs in Florida.

The eye goes from Englewood all the way down to Naples, that's like 60 miles across. 150+ MPH winds, making landfall around Sanibel

I saw a chunk of the causeway to Sanibel was down. People who didn't evacuate may be stuck for a bit.

The devastation in Naples is heartbreaking. And watching the Skyway Bridge bounce in the wind was absolutely terrifying.

I have a friend who lives there, he lost a few vehicles & their house flooded. Lots of damage.

Hope everyone else fares better.

I have family down in the Tampa Bay area, they all got out of there. I've been on Sanibel a number of times, I imagine it's gonna be a catastrophe there. 24 hours for this bast*rd to get over to the Atlantic.....
