The Wunderground track shows a repeat of the Frances track. Tampa needs to be paying attention...

We are unprepared here in the Tampa Bay area right now. I think emergency management is trying to avoid repeating the areawide panic attack that Ivan incited. Jeanne is only 24 hours from seriously impacting our area! Where is the preparation? We have to start evacuating mobile home residents, or this could be serious. Nobody I have spoken with is cognizant of the impending situation with Jeanne. The local media coverage has been sorely lacking, and most of them downplayed Jeanne's impact yesterday evening (when most people watch), by foolishly clinging to the exact track of the NHC's 5pm advisory.
