hey everyone, Anyone here planning on making this trip that I don't already know about? We have a group of at least 30 going and waiting to hear back from many more. Check out our road trip thread here: http://www.ralphsmob.com/forum/topics/mob-roadtrip-to-ft-lauderdale?xg_source=activity Hope to see a bunch of you all down there. It only takes about 4 or 4.5 hours by car to the stadium and you can get back in the same night fairly early. Or just make a weekend of it.
Hurricane Irene is predicted to miss South Florida & should be near the Carolinas by Saturday evening. Come on down and help us celebrate Ft Lauderdale's 100th birthday....
The WC and the NHC site both say that Irene should miss Florida. There will be no impact on the west coast, so you will have a pleasant drive to Lockhart. We'll not get much more than heavy waves, rip currents an some erosion at the beach. Maybe a rainband or two might reach us. By Saturday evening the storm should be near the Carolinas and we should have a very pleasant evening for the game. Hope to see some of you then.....
Actually, the forecast for Saturday isn't all that great. There's a 30% chance of rain, the norm, but record breaking heat is part of the package. Mid to high 90s F with heat index around 105F. Be prepared to sweat while seated, let alone cheering...
The heat is nothing we aren't used to. 30% chance of rain is standard. Everyone pack a second set of clothes and a poncho.
