Interesting hurricane site

I love Hurricane City - I've been using it for the last four years, and it only gets better every year. One of the best features is the live streaming during land-falling hurricanes.

I remember seeing ole Bob Sheets at a conference on the lessons after Andrew. He said had the storm had a landfall of just 25 miles further north everything would have been leveled from Miami Beach north to Ft.Laud on A1A west past Sawgrass. LEVELED!!!! Can you imagine that arena and mall going through Andrew? All of that chaos in populated cities? Andrew hit in such a sparsely populated area South Florida really lucked out.

I do remember back in what I think was 1998 when there was literally a Hurricane that stretched from the Keys to GA. It was a stong Cat-4 at the time and South Florida was under the gun for sure. Sure enough...cold front. Bye!

Had that hit forget it. Re-building would still be going on.The thing that sticks in my mind now in post-9-11 times...is that would be an ideal time for any terrorist movement in Florida. Because law enforcement is busy doing planning and protecting other parts of the city. Different ball game this time around. On 9-11 this past year I remember a tropical storm was hitting the west coast of Florida and it was like the buried story of the day. Had it been any other day...top story and news.

How would you say the success rate of Hurricane City is?
