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

Jean,

Well, I live in Cape Coral, and for what it's worth, I've booked a room in Ocala about 220 miles north of here based on the official and unofficial information I've seen to date. But that's still within the current cone, and with HF progging Crystal River as his current choice for the northernmost landfall, Ocala may not be the best place to be but it's still way too early to tell. As you know the problem with Florida is there aren't too many places to go or roads to use with a storm crossing our skinny state at an angle. Sort of "darned if you do" and "danged if you don't" when you try to make plans in advance. Might not be until Thursday late afternoon before the NHC has a better handle on Wilma's track, but she'll likely be a large storm with impacts felt well away from the landfall point. Anyway, that's my three cents worth (which isn't worth much unfortunately).
