Both Denis Phillips and Tom Terry are harping on the "you folks in Polk county REALLY need to keep an eye on this track...because IF it shifts to the west, your weather will be much worse than it is already forecasted to be."   
I don't believe that people in my area (Lakeland Highlands) even know that Jeanne is coming. When I went to Publix, there is water stocked from floor to ceiling and they have batteries ON SALE. 
I would expect a track shift to the west at 11pm and after that there really isn't much wiggle room for Florida, unless something just takes a big chomp out of the High (like maybe the shark from JAWS. I still believe it will turn to the NW but not until after landfall and I still believe it *may* exit off the west coast of Florida...although, that MAY be stretching it just a bit.
BTW...if anyone here in Polk County has access to Channel 20 (Orlando's Channel 9) Tom Terry is coming out with the forecasts as soon as he gets them from .
I did hear they opened 8 shelters in Polk County. I would imagine the high school across the street was one of them.
Hubby and the kids went to the football game, so it is nice and QUIET for the time being.
This is pretty cool: my brother's girlfriend works at and she got me set up on NOTIFY! I got a phone call at 4:49pm from Jim Cantore telling me that my area...Lakeland...was under a TS Watch. Of course, it was a recorded message, but it's still really cool to hear HIS voice telling ME about the Severe Weather alert.

The Site is going down for about 5 minutes folks at 7:50, going to move the database portion of the system to the new server.

Painless move.... good to go on that. Now pages are on the old machine but the database is on the new server. Should notice some improvements.
Will move the pages themselves after Jeanne.

And there was much rejoicing.
I'm heading down to the Cape to rescue a vehicle before tomorrow's festivities. That way I can start playing the hunker down drinking game with the wife.
"hunker down" - 1 drink
"eye wall" - 2 drinks
"feeder band" - 2 drinks
"hammer" - 5 drinks (hammer as in "I've nicknamed this part of the storm the hammer")
That's all we have - I guess there should also be an honorary full drink (finish the bottle) for any time someone brings up a bad analogy involving the Titanic too.
Likewise, you can probably add an honorary social drink for any newscaster making a really poor mixed metaphor (I remember with , some poor person said "it's really beginning to sound like lightning out here").
(remember folks - don't drink and drive - it's just stupid)
But legal-aged drinking with the company of friends is FUN! (if handled in moderation)
With the above game - you're good to go within an hour at a minimum because there's nothing storm casters love to say more than "hunker down"!
Be right back!

Miami Long Range Radar is catching a outer, outer, outer rain band. Something to watch as the next two days progress and the bands get thicker.

Oh, well I wouldn't know, then again I shouldn't know but then again maybe I do I'm not over the "drinking" age, but that's like the speed limit!

That's way outer. The range is only 246 nautical miles with Nexrad. Divide that by 8mph!
Did you mean "under the drinking age"? I didn't know there was a top limit!

First of all..how dare you defile this sacred forum with talk of math...
Secondly, are nautical mile different than regular miles? If so, then wouldn't 8mph be based on regular miles and therefore throw a monkeywrench into the whole equation?
Third, I'm getting a headache now..time to play the H down drinking game

I had to perform some "surgery" on some prior posts regarding the poll...you may wish to re-read pages 3-4 for a laugh.
Remember, you may ONLY vote once in the poll...

Guys lets stop the drinking age thing, some people get very angry when there's a hurricane going to landfall in Florida. Infact very angry, some e-mails that I've gotten haven't been to pretty! So back to Jeanne.
