Are we playing this week?

[BigWillie]

I will bring it up because no one is talking about it. With Milton expected to hit Wed, do we expect to play Sat?? Arrangements would need to be made soon if it's going to switch to Denton or something else. 

The team would need time to get out.

For now, Saturday looks to be the week's "best" weather in Boca Raton

 

[BigWillie]

I get that, but we don't know what they hurricane is going to do to the infrastructure. Did you see Helene???

[BigWillie]

I would think at this point plans should already have been made to move the game. If nothing has happened, I fear this one gets moved to later in the year.

This hurricane is not going to be nice to Florida. 

[DeepGreen]

I agree with BigWillie.  This new hurricane looks nasty and very dangerous.

[MeanGreen22]

Current path doesn’t appear to directly affect Boca but you never know about these things. 

[MeanGreen22]

If they’re playing this game, we’re playing our game

I guess I just don't understand why no one is considering flooding. Does Florida not flood? I mean just because the storm is gone doesn't mean there won't be high waters left over. But I don't really know, just going by what Helene left behind.

Because south Florida.....is not expected to get that much rain from Milton. (this could change). As of right now......I looked up the 10 day for Boca......about 1/2 inch of rain between now and Friday. On the other hand.....Tampa is expected to get almost 9 inches of rain Wednesday. I know those rainfall estimates are somewhat iffy. But that's why.....I think our game will be fine. USF and UCF on the other hand.....

Thanks for the clarification. What about airports and flooding?

We're fine barring an unexpected shift. Boca is a couple hundred miles south of expected landfall and the forecast isn't bad at all at the moment.

What will flying into Florida be like?

We won't be flying there until Friday.....so it shouldn't be a problem.

The scene itself is funny enough, If you know that bit of info it makes it funnier though.

When the movie came out, having Barbara Billingsley deliver that line was the joke. But everyone knew who she was then. Now it is like you said, basically some kind of trivia point.

My son lives in Ft. Lauderdale and they are expecting rain and wind but nothing serious. He is scheduled to fly to Panama City Thursday and as of today Delta said there should be no problem. However hurricanes are unpredictable and also spin off tornados so we will see.

I edited my post to make more sense.
