#Ian Tropical Storm is now expected to be a hurricane, impact somewhere in Florida early Thursday morning.
Currently causing flash flooding, rainfall, mudslides in Jamaica and Cuba; time for hurricane preparations in Cuba, Florida Keys, Florida peninsula. nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.s…
The spread of possible paths is still pretty wide for Ian. Definitely time for preparation, but where the storm ultimately ends up is still a very wide area.
Tropical Storm Force Wind Speed Probability (at the moment). This is probably making people with large rocks on very slow moving mobile launchers worried.
Official NASA statement on #Artemis: "NASA will make a decision on whether to remain at the launch pad or roll back...a final decision anticipated no later than Saturday." blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/0…

#hamradio#SARNET amateur radio operator at an EOC in Florida SARNET saying they have 50 shelters, but not enough radio operators to staff them. SARNET has not yet been formally activated, but expected soon. #HurricaneIan
#HurricaneIan radio operator (earlier) said he had booked a hotel (farther inland) to ride out the hurricane, but they cancelled his reservation (closing because of the hurricane)... so he is going to just sleep in his truck.
#HurricaneIan#SARNET a different radio operator commenting that the ground is already saturated from rainfall, which is going to be a problem with so much more rain forecast.
Piotrowski saying if you are between Sarasota to Tampa, now is the time to make sure you understand what you are going to do if evacuations are ordered (he thinks likely very soon), if power is out for a week or two on the western coast of FL.
He's looking at this scenario -- storm surge Tampa/Ft. Myers.
