Re: Just some thought....yea right...

Some models were earlier suggesting that Wilma would track towards the Tampa area, which is probably what Dick Fletcher was talking about. It is way too early to say at this time where the storm is going and Tampa certainly can't be ruled out. Tampa is well within the error cone given by NHC, so it is not accurate to say that NHC is not "pointing" there. The best that can be said now is that the current model consensus favors a track south of Tampa. Nobody on the Florida peninsula should be panicking, but nobody should be letting their guard down either. This is still 4-5 days away from landfall if it occurs, so just keep an eye on things and have a plan ready to go.
