YUCK...man oh man....she looks like one bad girl to me.
It looks like it's heading north, it might miss Florida after all.
Where are you when your needed???
I'm going with the one with more posts - here.
Sorry about that; I didnt see this one posted
Looking at Drudge you'd think they'd have created a new Cat 6 for this storm. When I saw that it was a Cat 2 I was actually stunned and thought I had misread.
I pray for those in it's path regardless.
Ya, now it looks like NW, they changed the loop since I posted. When I posted, the eye was moving SW now its NW.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, STUPID hurricanes. Anyone interested in some property?
If there had been a one-dollar tax every time the word "packing" has been used this year the budget deficit would be wiped out. ;)
Sorry for the caps...NHC must be cooking up a doozy of a discussion...

In some counties they are, in some counties they aren't.
Believe it or not, there is still debris that has yet to be picked up from Charlie in my area.
You can tell what hurrican the debris is from by the amount of decay. After Jeanne, we will have three colors of roadside debris.
lol
Gallows humor.

The pressure has dropped to 950mb...this is going to probably drop a few millibars more. This is a dangerous and powerful storm. Hang tough...we survived Ivan here in Navarre bch. but it was a long, hectic night.
The Dallas Morning News, 09/25/2004:
In 1886, 4 storms walloped Texas
The Dallas Morning News, 09/25/2004:
In 1886, 4 storms walloped Texas
Well not argue but we've had 5 storms...Bonnie, Charlie, Francis, Ivan and Jeane.
Texas "114 years ago" had 2 Cat.2's, Cat.4 and a Cat.1.
Florida this year: 1 strong tropical storm, 2 Cat.4's, 1 Cat.3 and 1 Cat.2.
If this were poker, I'd say this is an unprecedented year.
How could anybody know? The US only started keeping records in the late nineteenth century. 1886 was only 118 years ago. That's just a about half of a millionth of the time the Atlantic ocean has existed.
