It appears the turn to due North has occurred. I would say if you are west of where it is now, you will not receive a direct hit. That said, the storm is starting to look better again and the weather on the west side will be awful as well. For my family in Mobile, it appears they may get lucky enough to be on the west side at this point. It would only need to jog west a little though for the full fury to come into Mobile. I am now going to call for a Baldwin County AL to Pensacola landfall at 145-150 MPH.

Oh yeat, stocked up on the food, TP, batteries and water wings....It seems that they think that with this dang thing sitting over NW Georgia for 2-3 days, you could be seeing Noah walking down Peachtree St by Sunday...

Alan, I was thinking the same thing. The mets here in JAX are concentrating so much on that they said hardly anything about the one that could actually effect us.

One thing that did that helped weaken it and kept it weak was that the eye fell apart. , on the other hand, has kept its core together all this time. Through most of the "negative time" yesterday and last night.
The fact that the eye is still closed, despite the dry air and other normally weakening effects makes me think it wil likely be Category 4 or high 3 at landfall. And the outflow is still strong. 's being stubborn and doesn't want to weaken much, even though the pressure has risen, it hasn't fallen apart where it counts yet... the center.

If you're planning on watching football on cable after the storm, you may be waiting for a while. Here in Punta Gorda we still don't have Comcast back -- 33 days and still waiting.
I would add to your hurricane kit list -- a small TV with an antenna, preferable one that doesn't use 12 "D" batteries. Even if you have to wait for the power to come back on to use it, it will be better than no TV.
Also, because I depend on cable for my internet connection, I have had to switch to dial-up. Wal-Mart (among others) has a free CD that will get you back on-line once your power & phone are restored.
In my area of Punta Gorda that was 10 days after .

Well, I'm in Atl so I really don't need a hurricane kit. There are quite a few people here that freak anytime there is iffy weather, though. So, I won't be surprised to see some houses boarded up and I'm sure those people have hurricane kits.

Not Mike, but I think it goes about 35 miles esat of the forecast. Not far, but it could save Mobile from the worst of the storm.

Not yet, it's about dead on with the 's track so far. Don't see any real reason yet to think differently. Although yeah its going to be on of those nervous track PCB is still in the cone of error as is New Orleans. Exact landfall point doesn't mean much for winds and rain, but for storm surge flooding, it means a lot. I lean toward west of mobile, slightly.

Yeah, about 35 miles east would save mobile and slam right into pensacola.
There really are no winners regardless of where the storm hits, the eye is 50 miles wide and hurricane winds around 100 miles out and TS winds out 210 miles from that. Everyone in the cone is gonna get walloped, just some worse than others.
so I can't spell...

Any thoughts on the disruption Jeanne may encounter while crossing Puerto Rico? What is the terrain like on that island. I'm guessing its not as mountainous as Hispaniola. But not sure about the eastern vs. western side of PR???

SORRY, but that's the way it looks right now. That could change. A wobble left or right could make a big difference at this point.

By the way, I didn't mean to imply that football would be the the most important reason to have TV. You'll want to see what has happened around you. You'll need to get information about where help can be found, like FEMA and water and ice and food. Clear Channel radio is wonderful, but we sure missed having a TV.
If you're in the path, please be safe.
