Hey Shagy Dude, I don't think your over reacting. I can't believe anyone would stay near the coast after seeing what happened with . I think some are shell shocked and very very tired. No AC will do that to you. I know we are. We just kept pushing each other. With flood and roof damage we had to do it. Also a thought for others you may get stuck with a double deductable if you file again with Ins. The only way I'll call is if my roof goes or a tree falls on it!! Have to go for now. Keep your powder dry!

Looking out the window here is South Orlando, it looks as though the skys are really dark, almost like the looking at the backside of a piece of plywood... wait. Anyway, like others have reported, the skies are cloudy, occasional wind and light rain. A perfect day to have a cookout, watch some sports, pull the generator out of the shed.
Sorry if this has already been posted.
Buoy SPGF1 at Grand Bahama has 53kt sustained winds and a pressure of 29. Bad news. Almost all the buoys around Jeanne have a severe downward tendency in pressure readings (obviously).
Does anyone have an idea when the eye should be passing the same latitude as Orlando? Just curious.

Right about the same time it slams into Melbourne?

Hey everyone, I'm in Central Broward County (Coral Springs), and I'm just curious as to what the potential effects could be. Is there a good chance we'll get hurricane conditions here? What are the chances that this is just a wobble north and it could still hit further south than they think?
Thanks in advance,
Chopper Dave

Looks like it was only a wobble and it's still heading west. I think some of the bands in coral srings as well as me in Hollywood could have hurricane force winds in some bands. I doubt sustain winds though. Visible sat. looks like a direct hit on Lake Okeechobee but that could change. Don't see it jogging south anymore maybe more north.

The eye is wobbling but still on a 270 (W) heading. Looks oblong in shape as it is wrapping some dry air in by looking at the IR Floater. Boilers leading 31-23 over IL

Unlike during , the shelters here aren't full yet. So if someone wants to get off the island and stay somewhere for free, now would be a good time to make a move. Wind gusts are definitely picking up now though not much rain yet.

That would make it bad news for us on the west coast, right? I live about a mile (work about a1/2 mile) from the coast, right @ the Pinellas / Pasco county line. Should I expect conditions simmilar to ?
Thank You.

Interesting. The HIRT tahoe, sponsored by Lowe's is at Home Depot on International in Daytona Beach now.
They must have got spooked by their experience with 
2PM to 3PM due west movement, along 27.0N Winds here in Ormond are 26mph w/gusts to 33mph. At least the Gators weren't cheated by the refs today. Dolphins game has been rescheduled for Sunday night at 8:30PM.
Tom Terry on Channel 9 out of Orlando showed the track from a few days ago with that straight NW movement from the Bahamas to Vero Beach. Showed that Jeanne was already south of the line, and that it would probably not track in a straight line but more of a rounded L shape.

I can't speak for beachside residents, the ones under mandatory evac, but almost none of my neighbors that left for have left this time. So the lack of congested roads may be because people who live somewhat inland aren't going anywhere this time. I certainly hope the people in evac areas aren't planning to ride this one out.
One of my beachside neighbors evacuated to Tampa during but is staying with friends on the mainland in Melbourne this time. I hope part of the lack of crowds is that people still have stuff from . We left the boards up and neighbors left some up but had the rest in storage.

Anyone have this problem with school age kids who just have to kick started to do anything in regards to getting ready for emergencies like this? I am at wits end right now as I have been busting my butt on home chores and others have to be constantly reminded to get laundry done like our exchange student..................this crap happened during as well............now they are "vacuuming with my expensive equipment and not good sounds are coming out right now. I have no other place to vent this frustration and it is only going to get worse......................thanks for reading............

Looks like it will be a Stuart-Ft. Pierce landfall area....pressure is steadly falling at my house....Bryan Norcross just reported that hurricane hunters say the wind field is expanding north and south....anticipating the 5pm advisory.

Redbird, you could try setting a timer & making it a contest to see who can get "job X" finished first, or whatever. This can work with teens as well as younger ones. Thank goodness my sons are grown & gone!
