Perhaps this is weather warfare directed towards DeSantis. Check out the cone:

Newf’nland isn’ happy. As far as I know, De Santis( where did he buy the “de” in his name from?) does not maintain a residence there…
That hurricane that went up the East Coast and ended up flooding the NY Fed building a few years back was almost certainly directed weather. Ditto for Katrina and the one that got stuck over Texas not that many years ago. This one, we’ll see. I’ve been seeing (and living in the path of) these cones and “spaghetti” models for years. Ian isn’t even at Cuba yet – it could end up anywhere. Of course, that hasn’t stopped people from rushing the local grocery stores and hoarding bottled water already… And I’m now, as of recently, in a part of Florida that has had less than half a dozen hurricane hits in the past century or so – which is virtually a “no hurricane” zone by Florida standards.
Don’t get me wrong: I don’t doubt for a second that they’ll go after De Santis one way or another. I’m just saying hurricanes are extremely unpredictable until they get much closer to the mainland, and the media seems to ratchet up the hysteria about every tropical depression in the Atlantic more and more every year.

Certainly protection of the off shore accounting firms’ digital wealth computers in Cayman requires steering it away to Florida…two birds, one stone.

I am sure you agree, steering it to Texas would be a God send.

As a tropical storm yes, hurricane no. Unfortunately may be too little too late.
We were getting unexpected afternoon rain down here a week ago. Sun shining and rain drops falling, weird.
They always seem to “overdo it”. What is “moderate” anymore. Even a tropical storm can flood out the best of areas.
With regard to this being “aimed” at DeSantis; Florida has been a cyclone magnet since before I was born, so, not too sure about that.
Aimed is one thing. Stalled over a productive area, say distilleries on the Gulf Coast, that is another.
At this point, getting water into the aquifer is never too late.

Good point about those Caribbean money-haven islands…
Looks a near miss, ain’t that something…,
Right into Mobile Bay to smack some more refineries…
Gee, how quiet it got here, suddenly.
Easy Button!
At this point, Ian is expected to be a major wind & surge event, more than rain. My friends tell me that by tomorrow night, Gulf rigs from NOLA longitude, eastward will be shut-in & crews evacuated, with rigs west of the locations on alert now for a possible shift of path. Mobile Bay in prep for shut down at this time. Baytown, who recently had explosion & fire, is watching closely.
True. I used to live in Puerto Rico and we had many non-events that were forecast to be worse. But then again, we had some bad ones too.
It’s just so hard to predict where these things will hit hardest or when/where they might suddenly turn (or be turned by somebody who’s manipulating them!). I’d be a lot more concerned in hurricane season if I were on one of the islands, though.
OMG, a huge wipe to Florida! Wonder what happens to Mar-a-lago? Hmm.
Seriously… Not since Katrina have I seen such a storm & I don’t think even Katrina looked this bad. Only those of us who’ve been through such storms understand how bad this will be.
The angle in which this storm is coming ashore will literally wipe most, if not the entire State of Florida.
Bunch of frickin’ idiots…
Michael in 2018 was worse than this one. At the moment, the area from Fort Myers to Tampa looks most at risk to me, principally areas closest to the coast. Unless we get weather manipulation to a degree never seen before, I can’t see how Ian is likely to devastate anything like the majority of the state. Personally, I fear most for the Tampa Bay area.
