Yes because LSU has NO understanding of hurricanes and other weather events during football season.
ERGO; Katrina, Baton Rouge Flooding this year, South Carolina Flooding last year etc etc etc

Andrew just crossed over the bottom of the state, if that's what you're referring to.
So....it made landfall directly on the east coast and proceeded to go over the state?
I ask again, are you 10?

And it would be the first to hit Florida's east coast since Hurricane King, which killed seven people and destroyed 21,000 homes as it came ashore in Miami in 1950.
is this your logic? so in 1950 it hits miami, east coast landfall
In 1992, hits Miami, no east coast landfall

Where'd the eyewall hit?
Andrew severely impacted the Miami area, to say that much of East FL suffered the impact of landfall is incorrect.
The article is clearly wrong, I'm guessing they meant to say in October since that is when the 1950 storm hit.

Seems to me UF is rolling the dice & hoping it's not that bad.
Let's see how it works out.

To be honest with you it centers on the after effects of a storm like that. Trees will be down. Power will be out in a lot of neighborhoods. Yes the campus probably have their own power source, but neighborhoods in that area will not have it. Resources will be stretched as it is. Emergency personal will be strained. On type of that there is a game to be played. Yes we know Florida has hurricanes but we have it in Louisiana as well. Lets be smart here and understand that The governer has declared a state of emergency.

I hope its not bad, no one gets hurt and the game goes on as planned, but the reality is that there is going to mass power outages in the region, some will lose their homes and we are concerned over a football game.
Even if the game goes on as planned i doubt more than 60% of the stadium is full. Even if gainesville isnt affected many ticket holders live in areas that will be.
The opening poster comes off as being an arrogant kid with little to no life experience. There is no state, city or town that can deal with a hurricaine. The best they can do is try to fix the damage afterwards in a timely fashion.
The utility companies are what we base repairs on, mainly electricity then internet. Neither of these have anything to do with local government.
Im praying for Florida and its residents as i hope everyone else is.

Reality: Gainesville is outside of the cone of the storm. They will certainly get bands of this and strong wind, but Gainesville is far enough away to not be at risk of major damage to campus
You've never lived in an area prone to hurricanes, obviously.

this day and age, there's no way that a University would allow a game to happen if there was a real threat to the immediate safety of the players and fans

Superb post. I mean, how bad could it possibly be on Saturday?

Florida Gators are a team filled with pussies. No matter where the game is at, LSU rolls.

UF would rather have game cancelled, this isn't about revenue.
They know an L is happening and they'll do anything to avoid it.

Right....coz LSU fans and the state of Louisiana have no idea what storms are all about. Thanks so much for the education.

What say you now that the storm is projected to crush gainesville?
Posted on 10/6/16 at 2:14 pm to Milk
Thank u Milk u r obviously older and wiser than original poster. People in Red Stick need a break and are frustrated with just the lack of a decision so that they can plan accordingly.
I never really minded riding out a hurricane but I was always way higher than could flood. Kind of a rush, and always thought I might get a chance to help someone. But the aftermath, the heat, the smell, the loss of power was always the worst part for people who didn't suffer catastrophic damage. Hell typically more people die after the storm from injuries accidents chain saws electrical issues and heart attacks etc from most smaller storms that I have been in.

Yeah skirting the coast is not good it means the whole coast risk being in the dreaded NE quadrant
