Oh and Phil, I did catch the Donovan reference /guess I'm old. And speaking of old, where's Old Sailor at a happy and prosperous 75?

I've heard a bit of the Monsters and I'm 50/50 with them. One second they make me laugh, next second I wanna harm them. I'm a huge Philips Phile Fan however...I was just blown away with their effort to help people. I called in to give locations in DeLand with gas and moments later they announced them on the air. I felt really good about being able to help people....

Very true. I'm just glad I don't have any kids. I don't know that I could handle the extra stress. I work for an insurance company, and ever since things have been going non-stop there.

MIke,
I'm glad I found this site this year... keep up the good work. The only problem is that I'm hooked on it... the wife's wondering what kind of web site will keep me up late and my co-workers probably think I'm following something on ebay.

Haha that's true...they are the drama kings and queens demanding an audience. Ever see Chris Farley as "El Nino"? Classic...I can personify these 'canes as Chris (because I have an overactive imagination). "Look at me! I am Jeanne! FEAR ME!..ahem..hey you in Oregon, I said LOOK AT ME..thank you.."
Yes I'm going to bed...

A Florida "miss" would be wonderful. We got hit TWICE with .. with the eye going over our house (that we rent) in Pt Charlotte(on my birthday, yet!) .. and then the eye passed over the house that we OWN (where my stepdaughter & husband live) in Deltona having hours later (with a tree falling on the roof). Then the Deltona house got hit again by .. my insurance company is going crazy!!
Thanks for the site... it's been my lifeline, even though I can't say I understand much ... wish I had seen it before !!

Skeetobite, your maps are the best!!! However, if you plot the 60 hour point at 26.7 and 79.8 you will see the landfall point is near WPB/Jupiter not near Ft. Pierce. I guess your program can only plot the 48 and 72 hour plots? The line would then be curved and not straight from the Bahamas to Ft. Pierce. I am not trying to be picky and know the storm is not a point, but what I am trying to say is that landfall currently by the track is really quite a bit south as what the 48 and 72 hour straight line plots show. I just want to make sure people south in the WPB area know this.

P.S. In regard to your saying prayers at Mass. Fr. Payne was our substitute pastor the other day and he believes the Georgia coast is protected by "prayer bags" rather than sand bags, to help keep hurricanes away from our shores. Lots of prayers every day of the year from Tybee on down the coast of Ga.

I think the puts too much emphasis on the models without looking at the big picture. If and when Jeanne turns west she'll definitely miss s.fl and maybe the whole state. Maybe I'm wrong but I think once the models see the big pic then the track will start shifting north. By the way the big picture is looking at the water vapor loop and seeing the influence of the trough and where the High is situated. Well that's my input. I think, more like a landfall around Georgia.

What type of insurance? Home, auto, medical? I don't have kids either (never will either) but we sure don't need any more uneducated people...

It kind of bugs my daughter too. She can't get into her LOTR chat rooms if I'm hogging the PC.

A broker actually, who gets all three if that's what you need. You call us and we get it for you.
The week after , we took 5000 claims calls. In one week. It was unreal.

JC hasn't left the building yet...guess our landfall spot will have to wait until tomorrow...
(Bonus points)
Oh baby don’t it feel like heaven right now
Don’t it feel like somethin’ from a dream
Yeah I’ve never known nothing quite like this
Don’t it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me ’bout this...
