2PM update posted. Jeanne moving west at 12mph. This should impact the update at 5pm. And eventhough I'm a Dolfan I know the 'Fins have a good shot at not winning more than 5 games this year.

From what I have learned in the past 2 weeks, Looking at the WV loop, I do not see how there is any hane that Jeanne is going to go north. What I am not factoring here?
Praying for you folks....

At the rate of this year's landfalling hurricanes in Florida, the Dolphins will be real lucky to play 5 home games...

>>> You and Phil seem good. Let me ask you a question. With that high pressure ridge, does it look like she will go west all the way towards land and not make that little curve?
It's all in the timing...depends on how fast Jeanne wants to move towards Florida before the trof comes and picks her up north...I would still stick with the forecast over any others, so pay STRICT attention to what they say. And if your local NWS starts issuing warnings and evac orders...
need I say more?
The 5:00 discussion will be worth it's weight in gold...methinks.
If you're bored...go to
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/positions.html
the front page lists the most recent #s for all tracked storms...they can give you a clue when a storm is in it's nascent stages if it will get a name...and for fully developed monsters whether they are getting stronger or weaker. If you want, I'll provide the links on how to read the 's.
If you click on "Imagery" for the atlantic basin, you get access to all views of the tropical and subtropical atlantic from the equator and above. These are great for quick updates on model loops...they can be up to an hour old, but they are wonderful tools to see what the atmosphere is doing.

Now that's one funky track...it seemingly goes out to sea south of the Outer Banks and they takes a sharp turn due north.??

The Ukmet has only shifted ever so slightly to the NE. The on the other hand has shifted more to the NE and since the loves that model they will extend the watches up the coast to probably GA-SC border, but Im not sure. Anyways models will shift from run to run, dont take what you see now as a final destination.

Here we go again, they are saying landfall between Vero Beach and Sebastian and evac starting at 8am from barrier islands and low lying areas up to US1 Anyone leaving the state is suposed to leave now. It seems all are tired and more are staying this time. One good thing... this one is moving faster!! I got flood damage and roof repairs needed, why not just make it a new roof!!

I think the and are off a bit.. They are slower than other models and now that this thing has sped up some, I am leaning to a track between the and UKMET. The other models have been seriously skewed by the handling of this storm.

Just went out to grab a few last minute things. Publix and Winn-Dixie are packed. Every single gas station I looked at was full, long lines, people arguing and upset. I filled our tanks this morning in my robe. And the Hess station ran out of regular while we were there. That was interesting!
BTW, speaking of people doing stupid things, my sis-in-law returned her wood after and is now upset that she has to buy more! Don't know what she was thinking.
It is good to see that my neighbors are doing something pertaining to the storm. During , I watched people just sit around and do nothing. That scared them into doing something, although some of them still didn't do very much. This time, people are really paying attention. Makes me wonder what they'll do next year if there's a threat.

Pam I need a new roof.. Insurance company said they will pay for a new roof, but we cant seem to agree on price.. They say it costs 12K to replace my roof, I have three roofing companys that say 20K. I have had three emergency dry in's and it seems like I a gonna need a fourth.. Lots of flood damage here too.. Insurance just sent me their adjusters summary and its way off.. Almost 50% less than what I have been quoted.. I am suppose to be in good hands, but the only hands I have seen have been in my pocket..

What do the EOC's hear that may be different than what is on the news, etc? Our EOC (Highlands County) is thinking that landfall will be near Vero Beach and will reach our county before making a turn. Reason I'm asking is that before our EOC said that the eye would pass over the bombing range in the county, projections were not supporting that, and in the end-the eye did pass over the range.

I guess I must of messed up my estimates, because I came up with a movement of 10 MPH to get her to where she needed to be in the time frame designated.. Math was never my strong point..

cant rule out the but its data is from the which is alittle off on the ridge. Im looking at the trough in the plains down to Texas right now, this should slide e and ne and bend the track to the NW but over florida or sooner? Right now if she continues up to a speed of 15mph she will make florida before the NW turn but she should be by then moving wnw. Current wobbles could have a ending affect on where she will make landfall. If she wobbles to the wnw a couple times then landfall might be up by Melbourne. If she adjusts any wobbles duriing the next 12 hrs then she will impact further south towards WPB. Since I expect her to pick up more speed to 14-15mph I expect landfall in about 36-42hrs. If she wobbles some early before the turn then she will make landfall 42-48 and that would make her turn more NW sooner near Melbourne up to east of Orlando then N towards Jacksonville. Timing is everything. Right now the inverted trough over florida is sliding into the eastern gulf this should continue a more general w track for the next 24 hrs.

Sorry to hear it, I have neighbors (lots ollder) in worse shape than us. We have been running around trying to help pulling carpet and the like. Are you on the island? In Vero? Found a great Contractor...Johnny on the spot. Our agent said they go by gov. standards there and in our case...USAA standards were we are. Meaning replacement pay scale is higher for USAA. We are just the other side of IR. Figures! I am sure that will change now.

I dont know if ya'll have realized this yet, but did you see what did to the Buoy #42040 which is moored 70 miles south of Dauphin Island, AL? The storm was so strong it broke the buoy loose and its not adrift 250 miles out in the Gulf somewhere. I heard it recieved a almost direct hit and was reporting waves of 40 to 60 feet! Amazing.

I believe that, for the most part, the UK and had Jeanne moving to the west the fastest, while the and (run with data) had her moving slower.
