Yo Lysis, with the model runs I`ve looked at, I think your area will be spared. But like you say, osillations on the projected model paths could change everything real quick. I`m not worried over here on the east coast, but if I lived on your side I`d be watching 24/7..and if if I lived in the panhandle I`d be putting my ducks in row and preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. A cat 3 landfall up there will put them back in the dark ages......And this is just the start for all of us. Looks like our state is in for a spanking again this year..........Good luck over there on the west coast and you people on the south east gulf coasts my thoughts are with you...Weatherchef
