Re: Wilma, Category 5 and Breaking Records

Force...you took credit last night, and we've (you've) discussed this "graveyard" deal for at least an hour last night. Now it's REALLY dead, okay? Pat yourself on the back for a job well done, and move on to what's happening now.
We have more to be concerned with than what you were or weren't right about 3 days ago, okay? For the sake of those who are in the "cone", would you please move on?
I kindly thank you in advance.




Thanks Colleen.......well said.

Good Morning everyone. It was a surprise to wake up to the news of the strength and intensity of Wilma this morning.
Now is not the time to pat ourselves on the back for our forecasts or brag about ourselves.
Now is the time for those of us who live in the Florida Peninsula to make our preparations for a strong and dangerous hurricane.
During the next day or so please carefully review your hurricane plans and do what you need to do in order to protect your life and property as best you can.
The track of Wilma over the state is still not certain. It looks as if it will cross in the Naples / Ft. Meyers area over Lake Ochechobee as it transits the state. However, as we know all too well from past experiences, tracks can and do change so if you live anywhere from the Keys to Cedar Key please be aware of the future track of Wilma this of course is especially true if you are on or along the coast.

The saying "prepare for the worst and Hope for the Best" is good advice for all of us.
Thank you Mod's and Mets who help make this a great sight for all of us.
