Jim Williams and his Hurricane City Broadcast from 8PM till 11PM -- Link to Real Audio -- updated!
Let Jim know where you are from.. Use this link to listen
Hurricane Warnings are now up for the same watch area as earlier for Jeanne, it appears Jeanne may skirt along the coast from south to north.
Now the strength... Jeanne has gotten better organized today and is poised to strengthen a bit. There is a chance that it will landfall as a category 3 storm. I already think it will be stronger than at landfall, I'm just not sure how much so. Forecaster Stacy Stewart mentions the fact that the sea surfance tempatures are 5 degrees cooler on the eastern side of the storm's eye than on the west edge of the eye as measured by the Hurricane Hunter Aircraft. This is fairly significant as the water on the eastern edge has been upwelled from cooler, deeper waters by it meandering in that position previously. It has a greater chance to strengthen as it moves westward.
The track is dependant on a high off the Chesapeake and what happens to the ridge around it. The position of the ridge tomorrow is critical in determining how far west Jeanne will get.
Watches now are up north of that to Altamaha in Georgia. So a good section of coastal area may see hurricane force winds the next few days.
More to come shortly.

***This issue has been resolved! Thanx so much for your advice and concern!***
Mods/Admin sorry to be off topic or in the wrong forum but it a bit urgent. My stepmom went out of town to a wedding leaving the handicap accessible car at the airport. I can't take my disabled dad anywhere in my truck so we're riding it out here. I need a generator for his medical equipment and I'm striking out everywhere, even the little shops. I'm desperate. From what I understand no one has had them for weeks.
I hadn't gotten one earlier because my sister has one and I figured we'd stay there as we did for and but I forgot that she'd have to leave the car at the airport. Any ideas? Again sorry for the off topic I'll be good today as opposed to last night.
Maybe any info should be PM'd to me so as not to clutter the board?
Thank you!

Well, one thing we can enjoy, safely, is the ULL sling-shotting Karl quickly to the north, and the ULL wrapping in behind him. That looks to be one strong system.

Is there a Special Needs shelter you can contact? Or else contact your local Emergency management people..or even your local fire Dept.
You might also try the Deltona Hospital (can't remember it's name) or even Central Florida Regional in Sanford
(This isn't letting me log in.. I think I'm in a loop or something)

The 2 troubling things are, that it is starting to strengthen, and the farther west models are probably handling the high better. While I don't expect the track of the ETA to be "the one", it is worth paying attention to its details on the surrounding pattern. It is times like these I wish RAOBS were taken 4 times per day and fed into the models.
I expect the eye to become much better-defined tonight.

Hmmm...very interesting. Particularly this part:
Quote:
"The and GFDN models have been very consistent with this type of track the past 36 hours. This scenario is somewhat disconcerting because those are the only models that take the large high/ridge near the Delmarva southward to the Outer Banks of North Carolina before moving it to a position near Bermuda in 36 hours. The other models quickly weaken the high and move it southeastward. The exact location of the center of the high/ridge over the next 12-36 hours will determine how far west Jeanne will move before it begins to make the turn northward. Special 18Z upper-air data indicate the center the high has not weakened and has actually pushed southward and is now located just east of wallops islands in the southern Delmarva. This would suggest...at least in the short term...that the -GFDN-ETA solution is handling the steering pattern the best. As a result...no significant change was made to the previous forecast track."

I'd have to actually get him to the special needs shelter which I can't do in my truck. He's had several strokes and his left side is pretty useless for moving and my truck is way too high for him to get in (he's over 350lbs). Then I doubt any shelter would have a bed he could use given his size.
Called emergency number and no one has any idea about who has generators, FEMA just says high call volume and disc the call. Strike on red cross as well.

There is a special needs shelter I believe at the Orange County County Convention Center. You maybe able to call the Orange County EOC, or possibly one in your area or a local hospital to assist. Generator supplies have not been replenished at the local home depots and Lowes

Just called and they do have them, however I doubt I'll be able to sell a kidney to be able to afford them by the time Jeanne hits. I have no credit cards because I believe they are evil (not really I just have awful credit from my stupid teenage years). Thank you so much for the number I'm guessing this is going to be my story this cane....

Repost from the other thread..
Anyone ever use http://www.nwhhc.com/ They seem to be on track lately (the last couple of storms). They do not agree with the official track. Also, looks like it sped up to 14 MPH...

>>> Just called and they do have them, however I doubt I'll be able to sell a kidney to be able to afford them by the time Jeanne hits.
Can't you implore a friend or neighbor to help you out...from what I understand, you'll be reimbursed for the generator (in certain circumstances...yours sounds like it would qualify). Anyone? Anyone?

Well..is anyone else having trouble following 's logic path on Jeannes track on the 5 PM. Seems like that the text supported my earlier thoughts on the (see Jeanne, evil sister of ) but then stated this..
Special 18Z upper-air data indicate the
center the high has not weakened and has actually pushed southward
and is now located just east of wallops islands in the southern
Delmarva. This would suggest...at least in the short term...that
the -GFDN-ETA solution is handling the steering pattern the
best. As a result...no significant change was made to the previous
forecast track.
Huh? is this confusing or what? their logic would suggest a westward shift, me thinks.

That's my read, and on the other thread, I said I felt the was still too far to the right, even with its westward shift this morning.
It seems that it takes the models almost until a day or two before landfall before they really start to latch onto things, and I have no reason to believe this is any different.
The 0z runs have a chance to show improvement as the system should be better defined, and I am guessing there will be more dropsonde data incorporated.

I can tell you for sure that FEMA will reimburse you for the generator. We were reimbursed (Hurricane ) and it is *not* based on financial need - at least as far as the generator reimbursement goes. Of course, the drawback is that you have to buy the thing in the first place.

what is the max running watts and starting watts do you need. I work at Home Depot and will start calling all the stores within a 50 mile radius - Ilive in Pinellas Park - how far are you willing to go.
If I find one I will need to put on will-call - we will need to PM.
What is your max dollar amount or does that matter, last group of generators our store got ranged in the area of 499.00 to 1019.00.
