Yes sunspot activity has occured, could someone give me a chart on when it was the greatest or something. Because say it was in July then it would take about 3 months to radiate back out of the Earth and therefore effect our climate and amount of hurricanes late season. Did a sunspot occur in late May? I know they run in 11 year cycles but sun spots aren't the only thing that effect growth of hurricanes Mr. Spock.

Didn't say they were, but the activity has been running high for years. Unfortunately, I don't have access to solar charts, just remembering things I have read in the past.
And, I never said sunspots grow hurricanes. I was giving an explanation to what can change a climate that challenges the accepted belief.

I do plan on riding this out in St cloud, my neighbors and i have a good network to keep us all safe. we all went bought supplies shared with each other and now we hope together that we are all safe. I understand they say this one is going to be worse than the other fore named storms but i feel certain with the hope and love of our familes and neighbors that all will make it though. Please i mean no harm by saying i will ride it out. But there are so many more needy here in st cloud that need the shelters than i do. We have many many trailor parks here with elderly in them and they are important to. I pray for all of florida to survive this horrbile plight that is upon us. and hope to god this is the last one for us this season. but as i fear all bets are off till nov 30th. SO battening down the hatches and slinging the letters from UPS . i will post more tommorrow of our contions here. take care all and thank you for all the insights you have given all of us.

Okay, it's official now. Stephanie Abrahms is in Palm Beach. She was the new point person during last week.
Jim Cantore, as Susie said, is in Daytona Beach Shores.
Can anybody tell me why it's " Pink " week at the weather channel?

We haven't been ordered to evacuate yet; they're going to make that decision at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. But if things stay the same as they do now, I'm sure the order will be given. If the early morning report looks bad, I hope to leave well before 10:00 a.m. I remember Dora, and I don't want to take any chances. All of the debris from still hasn't been picked up, and it could get scary.

I know that, and I wasn't accusing you of anything Mr.Spock. Goodnight to all, and my thoughts/prayers will be to everyone in the path of this hurricane. I need some sleep

I just wanted to highlight the contributions of a poster...
I'm not gonna reveal who it is at the moment, but he more than fits the definition of "REAL AMERICAN HERO" I know it it tough to focus on other thing when you are about to face a potential CAT III....
but anyone want to guess who this is?
He is a tad to modest but we owe this AMERICAN more than a simple "thanks."
In 5 minutes I will reveal who it is...but you guys ususally beat me to the "cutoff dates."

I live in an apartment that is just about 5 miles directly north of . My windows are all south facing. During the wind blew directly on them and we thought they were gonna break but they did not. For we moved all of our comouter equipment and our tv, etc to the most central part of the apartment and tarped it up. As it turns out the winds here were rather insignificant. We were able to sit on the porch for much of the storm and just watch it all unfold. I know this will be stronger, so I dont plan on beng able to sit outside, but I am wondering if the winds will be blowing directly at us or coming from the side as it stands right now.
It was a lot of work to move all of the stuff, and I will do it again if I have to, but...

I have been cheating on and perusing other sites.. Seems some people think this is going to make landfall in Broward/Dade County. Some think Palm Beach County.. My understanding is that storm is directly east of Boca Raton, which is on the border of Broward/Palm Beach County. I would not expect the storm to go south, but I guess you never know.

I have witnessed in person today what several have posted about regarding storm apathy here in Central Florida. The tension reached an unbearable peak during the days leading up to ' landfall. The shock of being far worse than we imagined could happen this far inland jolted nearly everyone into some sort of storm preparation for .
This time around, the attitude is more a resigned acceptance. I have actually noticed yesterday and earlier today, that several homes in my neighborhood were taking their plywood DOWN!
I work in a local department store and, in the days immediately prior to and , business was non-existent. People were too pre-occupied to shop. Sure, the grocery and home improvement stores were packed, but clothing stores did no business. Today, we were very busy with people casually browsing....a totally different attitude from before.
Even tonight at the grocery store saw very little lines.....huge stocks of water, canned goods & batteries....no rush to grab these typical hurricane supplies. I certainly hope that Jeanne turns out to be a fizzle, because I fear the lack of preparation could come back and haunt many people.
One other way to look at this situation: maybe everyone still HAS tons of supplies and feel they have remained in a storm prep mode with little additional action necessary.
