Re: major shift west in most models

Clark - one of the missing elements in reporting about approaching 'cains last year was the heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm probability.

One thing I wish was done more here to warn folks is a general map showing flooding and thunderstorm impact probabilities (ie: like the NE quadrant impacts). We all know 'cains bring wind - but what few know is how severe some of the flooding and thunderstorms can be (tormatic type). The SWIFTMUD flooding potential maps were way off last year for the most part.

Maybe as Skeeto puts his maps together, and you report to us what you have the time to report, you might provide him/us with additional ideas of where the heavier parts of the storms will be - impact other than just wind. Say, if Dennis was to just graze Tampa Bay on his way up the Gulf, Orlando could very well be in the hardest hit (other than wind) part of the storm. Just an idea..
