collen,
remember that the panhandle is part of florida too even if most refer to us as lower ala. i am curious as to how much the forcast is off on the jamaica hit. if it is farther west and doesn't make that northern turn soon the panhandle could be the bullseye but the west coast is still gonna get hammered too. remember with francis we keep waiting for that north turn that never came. also one thing to remember is this year they are doing that 5 day thing instead of 3 so their forecast are gonna change more on the longer time frame
