Looks like @Zarrella and @Wheelieking are the most directly in the path....hopefully you guys are ready....no boats on the coast?
 
We are supposed to get about 4 inches of rain in Sumter SC.
 
Yeah we are under a tropical storm warning here as well but we will likely just see a lot of rain and some moderate winds.
 
No not on the coast. Center of the state near the Georgia line. My boat is safely tucked away in the garage. They are calling for up to 15" inches of rain and 60 mph winds. Camper is up and running in case we lose power.
 
Going to mess up a day of fun we had planned on the water with friends and their kiddos on Saturday tubing but no biggie. Boat will stay in the boatel nice and dry this weekend. Stay safe all!
 
Newly minted Cap'n @tim h is staying away from the 15' to 17' wave forecast but I believe that @1948Isaac is planning to go out to test his trim tabs and see if his starters stay in place tbis time.
 
Working on Madeira Bch today was interesting. Water over docks and pools in back yards on the intercostal. Huge waves on the beaches. Strong winds with bands and heavy rains for two days. Lots of street flooding and saturated muddy yards. We're on the right side of it. Can't imagine a direct hit here in the Tampa Bay area.

we are on the side of it with bands coming in from the gulf and tornado warnings being thrown out when the bands hit you can see the next one aimed at St Petersburg on this radar
Heck that's cool the radar link keeps updating ,, no more storm for us

Stay strong fellow Florida brothers! This little T storm is about to hit the most resilient state in the Union.
 
Had to revisit my boating plans for the weekend. Probably will end up going out on Monday now instead of Sunday.

Born and raised in the Caribbean so this little storm don't even register.
 
We are just starting to get affects of the storm here. It shouldn't be that bad here though just a lot of rain and 30-40 mph winds later this evening.

 
Thanks for the all high pressure that was sent our way up here.

Stay safe down there! Make sure you clear all that stuff out before I head down there in a few weeks. ;)
 
It's pretty much headed straight for us. It's been raining all day. I'm sure conditions will begin to deteriorate soon......but we plan to be on the water Sunday!
 
It has arrived

Amazing how much moisture can be held in clouds.
 
That's exactly what NOAH said. upload_2016-9-2_21-51-53.jpeg
