Worries me difference between models & advisories

Understand that it is only one model run.. or two but the models are showing a very well developed hurricane and the advisories are going for now.. with a strong tropical storm or maybe a hurricane.

Watched all local Miami channels and saw at least 3 different scenarios.

1 called it a probable hurricane or strong tropical storm as it moves over this area
2 called it a depression and most likely a tropical storm
3 one called it as going mostly through the keys as a tropical storm with a big question mark

I understand the need to wait to see models verify and it is only a depression just coming together on the most recent imagery.. but

Looking at models calling it a STRONG cane .. various wind speeds shown and a developing tropical storm on TV on your typical Sunday when people generally pay little attention to the news... worries me a lot.

At least they mentioned that during the Dolphin game there will be constant updates.. shows how serious they are already taking it even if they only have it as a ? on their maps.

Bobbi.. everyone take care and continue to give to the red cross or who ever you wish to give to..
