The latest advisory sounds like Jeanne is an official use-to-was. That cloud cluster is out there and is not going to bother anyone on the US coast and may make it out to the open atlantic by tomorrow morning. That will leave the Gulf Coast time to recuperate from things for about 2 to 3 weeks before we have to worry about a late Gulf season spinning up from the Bay of Campeche which has been dutifully quiet this year so far.

Phil I am concerned and everytime I see a pic of a destroyed or beached boat I am thinking of him but I remember how I was after . Being online was the last thing on my mind. Here and now stuff was. I am hoping that is what is going on with him now.

NHC says a second center of circulation just north of the Turks and Caicos, and predicts the original eye has (or will) dissipate. I can't see the second circ center from the sat loop, but it must be there...
The projected track has been adjusted eastward again, with the post 3-day stall (and prediction caveat) intact.

Didn't Rick mention, when he secured the boat and left for "higher ground", that he would be out of touch for several days??
I hope I am correct on that.

Woops!! But I definitely have thought about the situation with his wife and have wondered during my lurking why nobody had mentioned it. I figured storm night and next day, obviously busy. So hopefully you'll hear from them soon.

I received a PM from Andy1Tom after sharing with him some unfortunate news about a couple of other family...he was shaken but not stirred, needs to help other family with the clean up. So he's OK.

I also remember Rickinaboat talking about going to a secure place after securing his boat.
Hopefully, he'll check in in soon.
Saw a report on CNN that more bodies are being found in the penscola area.

It's been highlighted well before the storm that they pay the highest price per kWh in the state, and have the worst service / most outages. The city lost power about 18 hours before the storm hit, and restoration didn't begin for almost a week. Suffice it to say, some things are better left in the hands of large, financially independent corporations.
I should point out the other side. While JEA in Jacksonville has had some issues in power restoration, they are able to offer rates below all of the major companies. They finally requested their first rate increase in 13 years last month. It is possible for a municipality to do utilities right. The big companies do have an advantage after major hurricanes. However, how many times does that really come into play?

Jason posted here the day after, including a link to a video clip of the tornado going past his station, and narrated by him. His wife is fine and no baby yet.

Looks to me like Jeanne is reforming in the area pinpointed by . The circulation was starting to show about an hour before the advisory in a very broad area. It appears that recon was able to find it. I think the systems will settle in in 12-24 hours and things will get back to a more predictable chaos versus free for all chaos that is going on. It will be interesting to see what happens with that piece of that broke off. Looks like it is moving at a good clip in the water vapor loops.

this is off the topic of who's unaccounted for, but I was just checking my local weather and, well, look at this radar image from Charleston, SC. What is up with this?! :?:

For those of us who lost power for many days - once was enough to convince me that a small local utility could not possibly do the big work needed after a storm. If we are indeed into a new 20-year cycle of these storms (or so I have read in several newspapers) I'll take the big company. Anyone who lives in the Kissimmee Utility Authority area want to weigh in?
