I am truly sorry Ric you had to endure this. No right words to say to take away the anguish................I am feeling the same way about insurance rackets and I know being the bullseye is no fun as T-ville got a wallop both times.

Richard,
I think you just spoke for 99% of the state of Florida! You know I'm wishing, hoping & praying Jeanne doesn't hit Florida...
That was a very moving and heartfelt post...hopefully many will be able to read it...

The Gulf system is interesting; though convection has increased, the LLCC is still exposed due the shear. I remain skeptical as to its prospects; the models remain nearly unanimous in maintaining hostile conditions over the western Gulf through 48-72 hrs. At most, we're looking at a minimal TS, and quite possibly "only" a depression.

WOW Andrew anyone? well not the strength but Im still going on the Andrew track, just 150 miles north. Anyways you all look at the 12Z model runs yet? Theyre now in line with my thinkning over the last week. Infact the takes it right into Melbourne,florida and into the Gulf near Tampa. takes it to about 28N and 79W or 30N and 80W and brings close to hurricane force winds along to coast near Merrit Island N....only 50 miles offshore. dont go out more then 72 but is online with a Melbourne target but cant tell if it will brush the coast or go inland,,,,anyways the models adjust a little more to the SW on the runs. I also just to note the did a jog to the WNW or NW during the loop in the first 24 hrs so it might be just a tad to far north on the run which would bring it along with the . Now Stewart mentioned the and (as of now) is disregarding it and says its due to the ridge hanging on alittle longer then the rest of the models, but I dont see that as the case, its just that the ridge will be stronger to the N so it weakens 24 hrs later to that of the (which is still a northern byest model). So since the ridge will be just a tad stronger, it will push Jeanne just alittle faster as you see in the hrs on 36-108. Nogap makes landfall about 12 hrs sooner. So basically what Im saying is that the has a stronger ridge so it moves Jeanne just a tad faster, bringing her onshore. For the first 24 hrs the models are in agreement on a sw-w path with the having a jog N in the 24-36hr. Then a w path.
Im still not saying its going onshore for the best of my knowledge and info but its a timing call. Will Jeanne move 10-12mph starting Thursday afternoon to the west or move 8mph (abouts) to the west. Its timing folks. Anyways hurricane watches should be posted for the northern Bahamas by tomorrow morning, maybe as early as 11pm tonight. BTW I havnt seen the UKMET run yet.

The Outlier (12Z ) is still outlying, and further west. It takes Jeanne into east central FLorida at 84 hours, and into the extreme NE GOM then into Georgia at 120! Not saying its right, but its another westward shift. Generally, at least in the winter time, the has a right bias. FOrmer or whatever looks like Matthew soon too. Stay tuned!! CHeers!!

Yup neighbor, 'taint fun. Part of life, yes, fun no.
I just wish that we could *do* something, but that is wishfull thinking and totally impossible. Knowing that doesn't make it less frustrating, does it? Funny thing is, except for our friends in the SW coast, really spared us the utter devistation found in the Panhandle with and the floods affecting our neighbors to the north. No fun for them either but you and I as it turns out, were the lucky ones weren't we?
As to insurance: That is really one of my few 'hot buttons'. Unfortunately and I apologize to the forum, it is off topic even though related to hurricanes so I won't go further on that subject. I understand cursing and swearing is also off topic :

Allison, Beaumont here. Do you think the system will develop
into a storm?

Yes right now they (think they said) is the outliner on the , but Ill take it over the and even that is a tad sw bringing close to hurricane force winds to the coast. If just 1 more model run to the sw occurs then it willhave more then a 50% chance of coming inland. Also note everyone the short term run. They and the models dont think it will come under 26N from the , couple models 25.8, so if it does go down to say 25.5-25.8N then that is a major difference in WPB and Melbourne getting Hurricane force winds near the coast.

Do you guys think that the sharp turn to the north before reaching SC is
probable or do you see it as being a more gradual curve north taking the storm into NE SC and then back out to sea?

SC isnt out of the question. It can still turn when it gets near the florida coast. Anyone from WPB-NC need to watch this, including the Panhandle of Florida.

Oh I know we just got a touch of the ugliness of cane misery out here................I still choose to live here though........call me strange but the wx negatives up north are bad too like snow and blizzards and killer tornadoes.
Yeah most insurance is about as supportive as wearing a bra backwards............minimal coverage at best.

I know here in St Cloud we have had some gusty winds upwards 15 to 20 mph. but at least its sunny and a bit pleasant. not like the rain we had 2 weeks ago that put 2 ft of water onthe street i live on. it was a horrible site to see.
Lets hope Jeanne doesnt pay us a visit but if she does I am ready. My prayers go out to the people who need all the help to revcover here in our state and other countries.

Yes Canadien (CMC) takes it (her) into east coast of FLorida and even the 12Z takes it to its closest approach to the FL east coast (furthest west i've seen it). THat said, let's see if it begins to move to the west!!! Cheers!!

Ivy: there are people much smarter than me who don't know for sure... 
However, my uneducated guess is that, if the shear lessens, it has a chance to develop into a TD or TS as it moves into warmer waters in the western GOM.
But regardless of whether it becomes a named storm, it will likely bring rain and a slight breeze to SE Texas...

Did Phil post some dirty song lyrics that we don't know about? I didn't think so.
