Lots of other evacuations in my local area:

I'm likely going to evacuate overnight heading east. I might go to a parking garage at Disney. I'm pretty much ready to go.



Wanted to note that in the HC model system, there are two new models this year in the Hurricane Analysis And Forecast System. I haven't labeled them until now. I went with these labels:

HFSA
Hurricane Analysis And Forecast System - Configuration A - Newer version, as of 2023, of HAFS (scheduled to replace HWRF)

HFSB
Hurricane Analysis And Forecast System - Configuration B - Newer version, as of 2023, of HAFS (scheduled to replace HMON)
