Hurricane Warnings up
10:55 PM EDT - 16 September 2000

Hurricane Warnings now up Anna Maria Island Northward to Ochlockonee River.

Will Gordon strengthen or will he stay about the same?  At this time the experts feel Gordon will not strengthen much but do not let your guard down yet.  Anything can happen. Folks on the west coast of Florida need to keep a close watch and start getting anything that will blow around on your property secured. Even those inland a bit need to start doing this also, if you have not already.  It's always better to be safe than sorry.  And listen to your local officals for any evacuation orders and stay tuned to official forecasts.

This will be our last news update until I get to Texas or Mike somehow gets on.

We had nothing all day, a squall here and there; however, the weather here is detiorating (sp?) rapidly....I had a 3 or 4 things that flew through the air here (buckets,sand shovels and tree branches are down throughout the neighborhood)...the sun is peeking in and out as we speak, but then again, the winds are picking up and the clouds look ominous....is this normal?

Despite the fact Gordon's winds are down to 70 mph its winds never were the biggest threat. In the other parts of the Atlantic, a wave showing rotation emerged off the coast of Africa Yesterday. It has potential for developement in the next day or two. I think it will be classified as a depression late tommorrow or early Tuesday.
Thanks (#39)
