Phil,
Any news from Richie? Last PM I got from him was @ 21:59 and his site stopped reporting @ 22:00. Hopefully he just lost power.

That guy is just not my favorite dude- I mean, 45 minutes ago he said that Tampa wasn't even going to get much more than 35mph winds, now he is putting it over us- he is just too matter-of-fact for a met. Just my P.O. Again, Page 3 for anyone who missed it.

Yes, that would be Denis Phillips. He's good. The mets here have been saying that even though the kept insisting it was going WNW that it WAS NOT. And they were right.
If you want to see some really cool imagery, check out Steve Jerve and Jen Hill (I think that's her last name) on Channel 8. They have the models, and it explains a whole lot more than the the OCM can at the Weather Channel. All they do is POINT at the STUPID CONE and say "this is the general direction........." Even AFTER it makes landfall. Sheesh.

Landfall is on the south end of Huch island. I cant remember the spelling and I use to live in Pt.St.Lucie.. Anyways my target for Jupiter was only 10 miles off ,, within the 25mile zone I give and well within the 100 miles for a 3 day forecast the gives that I gave out. Still she will move across on a just north of west motion for the next 3-6hrs then bend more to the wnw by morning into the afternoon and then wobble NW to the west of Lakeland by noon. Winds will be down to Tropical storm strength by the time she gets north of I-4. Rains up to 10inches near the center and by the east and west coasts. Many spawned tornados.
On a side note, not many strong feeder bands came across the western half of the state today as dry air in the mid levels cut off any reaching ability of Jeanne. Over the keys currently there a very strong band where the mid levels are not as dry. Anyways the dry air will be push out into the gulf overnight as the rains squalls become more intense over the western half of the state from 2am on. The hurricane force winds on the east coast should go down to TS force on the treasure coast by mid morning. Mass power outages will cover the state. Flooding in many rivers and lakes during the next 3 days. Many spawned tornados .....As like I been saying over the last 3 days here that we must learn from the environment around us that the models dont put in. We saw how went wnw and nw into TX/LA we know Jeanne will stay wnw into Lakeland before a more west turn. It isnt out of the possibility that she even makes it to Clearwater then ridge up the west coast. Anyways on the west coast of florida they should recieve winds around 50-80 mph ,, the higher closer to the center passage and also just sw of her if your on the gulf. I suspect surge of 4-6 ft alittle more then forcasted. Sarasota south should recieve winds from 30-50mph with higher gusts. Orlando will get the same as the Tampa-Lakeland area. After Jeanne moves north of Ocala later Sunday night,, we will have at least a week of calm then our attention will switch to the western carribean and the sw gulf as Oct will bring 1-2 storms from that area.

GA Resident... the latest path puts Jeanne heading into GA and turning to the northeast, passing southeast of Macon. Winds will be down to the 25-35 mph range with gusts to 40 or so by then .. the windfield will be quite large, but should not be threatening. Rain will be your biggest concern... but nothing that you need to evacuate from, unless you live in a low lying area or along a river or other major drainage. Good luck with the surgery...

As a resident of Atlanta, I would say the best bet is to wait it out until at least noon today(Sunday). By that time we should have a good indication where Jeanne will be heading into Georgia.
But as a rule of thumb, if it heads out into the GOM(Gulf of...) and tracks more northerly through Alabama, then you may want to stay in Gainesville since Toccoa may be subject to flooding. but IF it takes the predicted path by the , the nearest it will get will be Athens. basically watch Channel 2 news at noon and David Chandley will have a pretty good handle on it.
The most important thing is to get as much information as possible and don't go into flood prone areas.

Thanks everyone for your concern...hopefully my next post will be a report of Richie...that damn red flashing envelope now reads 8.

I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me answer. My husband is having surgery Monday in Gainesville Ga. I live near Toccoa, Ga. I am undecided on where to take my children. Is it better to be as far west as possible? I'm not sure where my children will be the safest. 
I will be there at the hospital with him & dont know if they should be home in the basement, or at the medical center.
Thanks so much.
At this point, I would plan on doing what you were going to do in the first place, unless local emergency officials advise otherwise. You should be left of Jeanne's path - probably just a lot of rain (again). Our prayers go out to you, your husband and family.

Why does everyone want to compare TV mets against , and trash ? They complement each other. TV mets are doing a lot of now-casting and time filling; their story is sometimes about as fickle as the wind. only issues once every 2-6 hours. Their roles are supposed to complement each other. Any TV met that trashes on air doesn't deserve to be there.

JUST SPOKE WITH WXMAN RICHIE!
Yes, he lost power and he's in the dark...but other than that HE'S FINE! We didn't even talk about the yankees.
Thought this was "not as bad" as ...but I let him know all y'all were concerned...
He never did get to to talk to Jim W because Jim W lost power before HE did.
I just hope everyone else may be having a better time than in the past...
I'm here...sorry if not recently as I've had to answer 17 PMs and there are still six more...
