Guess where I'm going this week
Texarkana?
@Ravenpoe is probably going to get tropical storm conditions. Though, as he has said, this isn't his first rodeo, so I'm sure he is prepared.
The wind field is almost big enough for tropical storm conditions here, on the far side of the state.
This isn't even the first hurricane to hit me this year. I'm just not looking forward to the near guaranteed power outage.
Jokes on you, I have no electricity and the cell reception is so bad that no images will load.
Have you considered not living in the beginning of the 20th century?

LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) is one of those who suffered damage from the hurricane.
A tree fell on his house, and damaged at least some of his retro gaming collection.

Have you guys ever played the Sonic the Hedgehog games? You know how Sonic can spin up in place to build up energy, and then he suddenly goes charging forward, barreling through everything in his path?
There's a typhoon approaching Taiwan from the south. We've seen it coming for at least three days now. Except right now it's pretty much stopped just off the southern coast of Taiwan, spinning in place and building up moisture and energy.
And then soon, likely tomorrow, it's going to suddenly go charging northwards like Sonic the Hedgehog, barreling through Taiwan.

I guess that means that now, technically, some of my solar system can be said to be feeding ALL your houses, too! Not just my fellow Texans. I thank you for your contribution to the 11.5 cents per killowatt hour that I put back on the now-national grid.Hell has frozen over

Aside from TV shows.
I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a hurricane's path cut through Florida like that. Don't they normally work their way north along the coast?
It happens occasionally.
The ones that come to mind are Charley in 2004 and Wilma in 2005:
Well, that and Hurricane / Tropical Storm Gordon in 1994 which, let's say, was not the most normal of storms:
I did some more research, and, you're right, the thing that makes this storm unique is that storms that form in the Gulf almost never make landfall in the peninsula.
I'm pretty sure that's the button sequence you needed to input to do a fatality in one of the Mortal Kombat games.
Also, stay safe!
Come on over, I'll make you some.
