Re: Wilma

I find this interesting, out of the Miami weather office:

"OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK THERE COULD BE SOME
EFFECTS FROM HURRICANE WILMA FELT THROUGHOUT SOUTH FLORIDA. PLEASE
STAY INFORMED BY THE LATEST ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER."

Out of Melbourne:

HURRICANE WILMA IS FORECAST TO ENTER THE GULF OF MEXICO ON
SATURDAY THEN ACCELERATE NORTHEAST TOWARD SOUTHERN...OR POSSIBLY
CENTRAL FLORIDA ON SUNDAY. STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST FORECASTS
CONCERNING THIS SYSTEM.

Out of Jacksonville:


HURRICANE WILMA IS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE FLORIDA PENINSULA THIS
WEEKEND. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF WILMA WILL HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA

It's odd that Miami only mentions "Could be some effects felt". Aren't they under the gun so to speak? I don't know why but it just seems like there wasn't a whole lot of feeling put into that statement.
