At least up north you have an outdoor freezer to keep food in if the pwr goes out. My grandma used to keep things on the back porch in MN, all the time.

Its prediction aligns with Colorado State Universityās sub-season prediction regarding the past two weeks as the year transitions to the peak of season. The Atlantic is estimated to observe an above average amount of tropical activity, said CSU meteorologist Philip Klotzbach, citing warm temperatures as the reason.
āThe Caribbean is now warmer than normal, while tropical Atlantic [sea-surface temperatures] have also anomalously warmed,ā he said. āCurrent [sea-surface temperature] patterns fairly, closely resembles an August active Atlantic hurricane season pattern.ā
Regardless of whatās served up in the coming months, McCann warns residents that now is the time to prepare.
āIf you prepared a kit at the start of the season, now is a good time to check in again and take a look at what you need. I usually take advantage of Publix BOGOs and place some items in the kit from there,ā she said. āYou donāt want to wait until the last minute when a hurricane is forecast to come.ā
And while you prepare maybe even grab some of those green onions, squash, and eggplants. After all, they are in season.

Floridaās bid bend and panhandle are forecast to get 4 to 8 inches of rain with isolated maximum storm totals of 12 inches are expected.

Fred has had a hard time developing ever since its clash with the Hispaniola mountain range last week, which left the storm sheared and limping. However, after a tour through the Gulf, Fred was able to collect strength Sunday and regain its tropical storm status thanks to the 85 degree sea-surface temperature, according to Spectrum News 13 measurements. Fred still remains a sheared, an unbalanced storm with its upper-level circulation tilted about 40 miles northeast of its low-level center, the NHC said.
On the forecasted path, Fred is predicted to keep growing stronger as it impacts the panhandle Monday with maximum winds possibly reaching just over 60 mph. It is expected to reach the Florida-Alabama line by early Tuesday morning, retaining its tropical storm status, but should diminish in strength throughout Tuesday.
A storm surge warning continues along the Florida coast from Indian Pass to Yankeetown Monday morning with 3 to 5 feet possible in some areas.
Butā¦butā¦butā¦Fred is going to be a big nothing!
Pfft. Floriduh is the Orlando airport, the WDW property, and the strip of the Greenway that connects them. Anything else is an urban legend.

Well, it actually doesnāt sound horrible as far as hurricane standards go. (I was a little concerned how much time it would spend over open water how much it would re-organize and strengthen.). If it moves through quickly, that will also help. Itās the ācircle and squatā storms like Allison and Harvey that get super problematic from a rain event perspective.
