latest radar from key west.....my own obs... northern inner eyewall has or is starting to reach the coast.... also i am looking at topo maps and looks like the center is on the north side of the mountains that are SE of havana.... he's not too far from havana neither... think around 18-20miles now... watching now to see how the northern eyewall responds to the coast and GOM... should begin to exit within 2 hrs now i think

As a former Gulf Breeze Bay Street resident, I really don't want another one. Ivan brought a storm surge up to our gutters and then twisted around the contents of our home as if in a blender. But I don't wish this one on anyone else either....

To leave or not to leave? We're in Ft. Walton Beach/Destin (or if you dont know those, Pensacola), not on the beach. We have a place to stay with family but not sure if it's even neccessary to go now. What do you guys think?

Does anyone know if the powers that be (NWS, NHC, etc.) buy discount keyboards that have stuck Caps-Lock keys? Very minor nit-pick, I know, but why in the heck are all the advisories in all caps? Sorry, this is probably WAY OT...




Is easier to translate the data into other types of machines since lower and upper case are completely different binary codes. Since those text messages are auto-imported into so many different programs and types of machines, is the sensible way to do it. Makes transcoding between unix and windows type machines easier.

I hope that was in english. :-)

I'm quite familiar with the FWB and Destin area. I don't think there is anywhere south of I10 that is safe if you are on the east side of the storm.

We live in Pensacola...We live in a brick apartment building on the North side of town. Would we be safe to stay here or should we go to my family's house in Pine Hill, AL which is about 100 miles North of Mobile? I have never been in a situtation like this. Any input or advice would be appreciated.

I just whipped up a quick javascript file (embedded in a webpage) that will convert for you. I don't have ftp on this machine, but I should be able to attach the file...

Doesn't look like I can. give me a few and I'll upload the file to the below address...

http://www.ten15.net/convert.html

Reload that in a few minutes

Don't be so sure its going to the panhandle and you can breathe easy yet Colleen. Did you read Ed's Blog this evening. Everything is still up in the air.

Mike..the Mobile news outlets are reporting a mandatory evac for all south of I10 in Mobile and Baldwin Cty AL..I think they listen to Accuweather because they have been calling for a landfall there

Has anyone seen the latest GOM water vapor loop? Not an expert but sure does look like it is diving south and east fairly quickly now. Wonder what this will do to Dennis as he emerges from Cuba.

Sorry Bev, that doesn't work for me... A quick UCase() and everything is taken care of on the recieving side. Also, if they really wanted to complicate their lives, the ASCII values for upper and lower case letters have the same delta offsets.

BTW, *not* giving you a hard time! Just coming around to a firm theory that the guys over there are typing with one hand. ;-)

Great forecasting, though!!!
