I think it means you're first in line to serve Phil his crow when he's deserving. I sure hope he's deserving this time...

Oh my word..you offer all three...State Farm is my guess but don't feel like you need to say. I can't believe how busy y'all must be.
Someone posted a link to a graphic comparing , and (back when he was way down in the caribbean) I don't suppose anyone knows of a graphic comparing all the storms we've had including the many we have now?
Actually, they'd probably give me a pat on the back for promoting the agency.  It's called Oswald Trippe & Company, and we have agencies throughout the state. Closest to you would be Ocala, I think. We don't have anything too close to Orlando.
For tracking, try:
http://www.nbc-2.com/
Then click on Storm Tracker in the top article. You can see the paths of all 2004 storms and a good deal of historical storms too. All of us in the office were doing this when seemed to be following 's path so closely.

Well, here we go again - - TOHO is as high as I've ever seen it and that's after this years major draw down. My concern this time is which side of the house to board up her in St. Cloud - - blasted the South Side and hit the north side - - might as well cover them all, stay covered till christmas and paint decorations all over them.
Thanks for the great guidance and advice meted out by the site and the posters - - you have no idea how much you benefit not only us, but in some cases our companies. I am asked daily what I have seen and do we need to close - - thanks to you guys, I'm usually right

Speaking of JC, this was in the Charlotte County Newspaper on Sept 13:
Top 10 list offers respite from storm worries
Punta Gorda Isles resident Jim Druyor has the right idea -- it's OK to laugh again.
A la David Letterman, Druyor created a hurricane-induced "Top 10" list around 1 a.m. Sunday morning and faxed it to the Charlotte Sun.
"I'd had some of these thoughts for a while, and I couldn't sleep because I was worrying about (Hurricane) , so I though I'd write," said Druyor, 60.
Here, then, are Druyor's "Ten Ways to Tell If You Live in Charlotte County":
1. Primary means of communication is graffiti on your garage door.
2. Friends ask, "Where are you evacuating to this weekend?"
3. You know what time the tropical update starts.
4. FEMA's phone number is on your speed dial.
5. You can change a tire in 5 minutes flat.
6. You know Wayne's last name. (NOTE: The head of Charlotte County EOC.. warned us for years that this could happen)
7. You think "Red Cross" is a popular new restaurant.
8. Your gas tank hasn't been below three-quarters in five weeks.
9. Blue is now your favorite color.
10. Jim Cantore is standing in your back yard.

Seriously, let us inside your head a bit....
Ya sure you wanna go there?  Ok, seriously. Partly because it IS a gut feeling; partly based on what I'm seeing. It wobbles to the north, then back to the west, and they are expecting a more westward course later tonight or tomorrow. It's moving much faster than and I think it will not make that NW turn until it's already inland. I don't buy the sharp turn to the north scenario.
Hope that helps; not an expert, just my opinion.

This is the same one I posted about. I guess our news stations share the same source.

I have not seen the latest model runs but I'm starting to think that Jeanne will go more north than most people are predicting... Javlin might be on to something... its all about the ridge... how strong, and for how long... I posted early today for my first forecast I thought the space coast was a good as target as any, but perhaps more to the north, than to the south like ... as many were predicting early on to hit the Tampa, Purta Gorta area for a second major landing hurricane, this was something that was hard for me to buy into from the getgo, and it never did pan out... and it certainly is possible for Jeanne to produce another very similar track to but I think the probabilities are against is somewhat.... what's the chance that the same ridge location and strength and steering currents will all set up exactly as set up for .... I personally think it will be low.... and tonight I am having trouble buying that repeat event, call it a hunch, or guesscast, or whatever, but I really think the zone of probabilities will shift more to the north over time... I'm not sure if the ridge will be strong enough to shunt Jeanne south of the space coast like what occurred with ... at least right now that's my opinion.... I'm due for some crow eating so if it goes south of the space coast (titusville) then crow will be served buffet style at the Frank P household.... but right now.... very close or perhaps just north or so of the florida space coast titusville area

We've been waaayyy lucky so far. I keep telling people that we must be on some scared indian burial ground or somthing. I'm liking the early turn north and then northeast. This is making it a point to defy all the forecasts. Just when they thing they've sortof figured it out, it makes fake to the left then cuts to the right.

Speaking of that link you gave for local 6 ;
I signed up for the Premium Weather service they have on that page because it was free for 2 weeks. You can plot your location as well as a few others and when severe weather is approaching your area it will inform you. When my power was out it didn't do any good to have them send me an alert on my computer but it was VERY helpful to have them send me an alert to my cell phone. My specifications for being alerted were if any tornadic activity were approaching my home I wanted to be alerted. I received notificaiton twice and both times hunkered down in the bathtub until it passed. This was especially helpful because I discovered that my radio batteries were completely DEAD (they were brand new) and I had no way of knowing what was happening out there.

I'm beginning to find it hard to believe that Jeanne is going to head pretty much straight West for the next 48 hours... While the ridge is strong, it seems that is asking a lot.
I'm sure I'm wrong, but that seems like a long time to hold a course.
I'm fully prepared. It can come right for me and I'll be ok.
