are people starting to prepare in the panhandle. We're thinking that if we go to bring some gas cans with us and fill them up before we leave.

Hi all. Been following this board since . I live in Dunnellon, just south west of Ocala. I live in a mobile that was built way back in 1973. I have plans to exacuate to a friend with a block home but I am wondering what, if anything I will return to?

Well, after much though, we have decided to stay put. Leave the evac. routes for those who really need them. Our house is secure and I have to trust those who have been through this before. Thank you for all your help, your advice and information. God bless each of you.

Is anyone else shocked that there are not cane warnings further South ?
Also when should this storm slow down ?

Joe Bastardi is definitely right. This thing has been going solid NW for a few hours, and it's slowing.

While it looks like a definate WNW (maybe 300 degrees) trend I'd wait another few hours to see where it's heading... and if it's slowing down... I just don't see it.
I know I'm just restating the obvious, but it takes at least a few hours to determine the motion of the storm.

I created an overlay (although somewhat crude) that shows the paths of , Andrew and Floyd but have no way of posting it. I dont have a site that allows me to store pics on for open viewing. If I could email it to someone for it to be posted that would be fine by me.

My preparations are almost complete. House is air tight and everything in the yard has been put away. Weather is very nice, very breezy, NE to 23 mph so far. Today's low temperature was only 81 degrees. This shows the tropical air in place from the onshore flow. Not much of a temperature range today, high only near 90. I can't believe how many homes are still not boarded up in my neighborhood. Supplies and gas very scarce. Local radio and tv stations asking people to call in about where they can find these items.

Another typical August:
Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.

I read JB every day and have been for about 3 years but...
I think Capt Joe is going down with his ship this time. And as far as movement goes since 0855z this morning the recon fixes have shown a solid wnw movement with some wobbles to the north and some back to the west, but the overall movement has been wnw. In fact, the fixes at 1430z and 1630z show a solid movement back to the wnw after a northern wobble.
I am a JB fan, but I'm not seeing a solid NW movement at all. When you are in as deep as he is right now you can find all sorts of little signs to point it your way but I'm just not seeing it yet.

It looks like the Shawn's are together on this one. I don't see this movement changing now. It's been on this trend for a while. The only way that it would change now is if the ridge really became stronger and forced it back westerly, kind of what happened to Andrew. I don't think that will happen though.

Yes, thank you to all of you. I've discovered this informative site with . Even though I check out , all the insight discussed here has been worthwhile.
Now, on to the latest with . Is it just about a big "no way" that it could still turn East (real sharply)? I'm in Sebastian, which hasn't had anything this huge since...? I'm really hoping for a "miracle turn" extremely eastward.
