Re: MAJOR CANE

The thing with newspapers and radio stations is that they will just look at the forecast, see no mention of Florida and give an all clear. I think what is proper is like what WFTV in Orlando had last night. They had the NHC Director on saying the "Floridians should be able to relax, have a good weekend and check back at the end of the weekend to see what is going on" That sounded very reasonable. It is all relative to how you are looking. I would say Florida is safe for, probably, the next 72 hours. I'll keep checking. Just not as often as when it was a closer threat.
