Jim Cantore sighting [Re: SkeetoBite]
      #31325 - Sat Sep 25 2004 01:23 AM

Okay, I took a break from this board for a walk and dinner and watching a non-weather show. I haven't yet caught up on the posts I missed while in non-Jeanne reality; probably someone else has already reported sighting Jim Cantore. BUT, I just had to run to the computer and whine to all of you when I saw him reporting from Daytona Beach. AAARRRGGGHHH! I knew Jeanne is forcasted to head for us, but I didn't know we were in this much trouble. Sob, sob, whine. (I really do like him...it just made the track's danger more real to me.)

Now, back to the regularly scheduled discussion.

Colleen, we discussed this after one of the other storms.
There could be a reason your dogs are barking. Remember that animals sense storms coming too, and seek shelter.
Don't want to alarm you or anyone, but watch out for gators, snakes and other animals to be out of their usual habitat for the next several days-AGAIN.




My dog has been barking all day and it's something he usually doesn't do and I live all the way in Eustis.

The NHC is going to say that this year was held back just like 2002. Unfortunantely there might be a relationship between Gobal Warming and landfalling hurricanes. More heat in the atmosphere because of increased Greenhouse gases so the Earth turns on the air coniditoner more, simply put.

Thanks....:-) and listen...please be careful. I wasn't as scared with Frances as I am with this one. I can't explain that feeling, it's just "there". I don't like my gut feelings because they are usually right.




I have the same feeling. It came over me this morning. We had been watching the storm, and figured that we'd stay in the house, that it survived Frances, will survive this, but something is telling us to go. Not sure why, but I hope whatever it is doesn't come true.

I spoke to clients in Ormond Beach today. They've evacuated twice so far. They told me "<Censored> it, we're staying this time!"

I didn't mention that Jeanne going right over them was probably going to be a lot worse than Charley and Frances was.

I have a bad feeling about this one, also. I live at the beach near Jacksonville and plan to leave in the morning unless things change drastically. Does anyone know if I-10 will be one-way tomorrow? When I evacuated for Hurricane Floyd it took me all day to go 100 miles, and a lot of people didn't leave. If people wait until the last minute, it could be a real nightmare.

Our rabbit has chewed through the plastic grating on two gates and is generally freaking out. I don't want to crate or gate her in until tommorow when we open as the "family and freinds" shelter but I can't let her tear the house apart while she looks for a safe "den."

Keith,
while the greenhouse effect does exist, I maintain that we are not far out of bounds global temp-wise, the real answer might be in sunspot activity. Many may remember that last year satellites were disrupted due to unusually large bombardments of solar rad. The solar flares and sunspots are running tremendously above normal, and since the sun is our heat source, if it puts out more, we receive more. Combine that with the multi-decadal shift in the hurricane patterns, which is normal and observed over other time periods, and the thermohaline circulation, and I think that offers a good explanation to the "why".
FWIW, I have been freezing my tail off up here the last few winters, and I don't like cold weather. Who knows what's up this winter.
Just one man's opinion.

Mine ran in circles and potty'd all over the living room floor when Frances came through.

Poor guys!

My gut feeling (and from watching some of the sat and models) is that she's going to strengthen up, make a run to near the lake, stall and then make her turn, scraping lots of land along the way. It does not feel pretty.

If there is an alternate route, especially a US Highway, going the same direction/location/ destination as the Interstate, you may be better off on the US HWY. New Orleans evacuees did this for Ivan I, and made really good time, against the onslaught of Interstate evacuees. I'm not saying it will work for you in FL. But it sure made a difference in Louisiana.

seems that many people in the Orlando area are taking the same attitude..."we've been through two...what's one more"...if the current track holds true we are getting ready to see much more weather than we saw from either Charlie or Frances...it's hard to believe we are preparing to go thru this mess for a third time this season...
