Florida is going to be a black hole in a lot of other ways for a few weeks, but that’s a topic for another thread.

Most of the predictions I see, however, look to be north of Ft Meyers. Not to say it won’t be affected, but I don’t think it will get a direct hit.

I wonder if it will mess up Florida enough to impact the election. If so, it could go either way, depending on exactly where it hits. But it probably helps Trump, because i suspect cities are more vulnerable to being shut down or otherwise messed up for weeks.
