Hurric,
I talked about that 1949 storm yesterday as being the last major hurricane to have its eye go over here in Palm Beach County. It has been 55 years since a major crossed Palm Beach County, a longgggg time. That storm came in at Jupiter Inlet, just where they were mentioning a possible landfall for as of yesterday.

Thanks Phil.
I'm with ShaggyDude on his statement. The right side of that track cannot happen IMO. Ain't gonna see it. Florida does an evac of the east coast even if it misses, it's that close.

Joe in JAX I would be interested in knowing why it is impossible for the right side of that track to play out.

What in the world would cause that thing to do what looked to be an S-curve over the Central Florida Area?

That's scary! But note it is way left of its previous tracks.

Redbird, it would be pretty near impossible for a curve like that to happen, as it would have to start the northly trek now, and go nearly due north in 72-120 hours. If the ridge is just supposed to start to break up in that time frame, there's no way will be heading at a high enough angle to miss the continental U.S. And I agree with joepub1, somebody, or everybody, on the east coast of Flordia will have mandatory evactuations before it's over.

The scariest thing has this taking almost 24hrs to go from vero to Jacksonville. That's a lot of rain in Central Florida. The Sentinel had a great article saying that most subdivisions were built to withstand 7 inches of rain over a 24 hour period. If, and that's a big IF, were to slowly creep over Florida, there would be massive flooding.
Here's a quote:
But double or triple that amount of rain, and streets would flood, and the St. Johns River would rise and back up creeks and tributaries that feed into it.

Rabbit, I don't know where you get your information from, but there is NO connection between current activity and the future formation of an El-Nino. El-Ninos can affect hurricane seasons, but they really have no relation to them. 1997 was quiet BECAUSE of the raging El-Nino that year. The East Pac season was active in 1997 because of it, but at the same time prevented systems from forming in the Atlantic. We didn't have that in 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, or this year. Also, is just one factor in determining how active a hurricane season will be. With the exception of 1997, every year since 1995 has been marginally to very favorable for tropical development. There is no rule that says we have to have a quiet season after a few active ones. Weather does not follow some human guideline just as hurricanes do not read models to tell them where to go.

from an email at
--Hurricane is a dangerous storm. Already a category 3 storm, she could elevate to a Category 4 or 5 before landfall. It is very early to determine with any degree of certainty where she will go, however one thing is for certain, we must be prepared. The Hurricane Center official track is less than 50 miles from . Unlike Hugo, Isabel, and Floyd and other similar storms which have curved north before reaching Florida, there are no obvious upper air features to protect us—the door is open along the entire Florida coast.
Take the time now to take care of your home and family. If evacuation is deemed necessary, the announcement to do so could come as early as late Thursday or early Friday. This depends on the forward movement of the storm, and expected path of travel. Barrier Island evacuations are announced by Brevard County based on data received from the National Hurricane Center, and National Weather Service.
It is not to early to think about an evacuation location. Reservations in hotels can always be canceled, if not needed. I have enclosed a checklist of necessary items that you may need following a storm. Don't wait until the last minute to start preparing, do it now. Again, this is a very dangerous storm.

The model was relaible all along in and was very accurate about 36 hours before had land fall, and was even good on intensity...Watch this model on Wednesday...that's what iIwill be doing.

Frances rides along the edge of the ridge. Gaston exits to the NE. Leaves weak trof behind that allows to go WNW to maybe almost NW. Trof lifts out, high pressure get a kick in the pants from the north, builds in again , causes back to WNW-W again until she can find the edge of the ridge to go polar again. This plays out to a point with alot of the models, on the globals just watch to the north as the ridge builds back. This is the only way most of the east coast of FL can take a direct hit, this is almost exactly how it has to set itself up.

THANK YOU! I am doing just that with supplies and seeking evac plans.
I was just posting possible tracks I got off the net. I hope noone thinks I am trying to interpret them. I am not trained to do that........all I know is get my affairs in order now.

Excellent analysis joepub...on this water vapor loop you can see the ridge forcing to stay on her current westward jog, but can also see the trof being left behind by Hermine...which should serve to pull more northward...at this point, we're not sure just how strong the next ridge will be, and that's where it becomes crucial for NE FL.
