If you're parents live in a condo, remember this: the winds are going to be higher the further up you go...so if they are on a higher level, they need to be moved down. I would listen to your County EOC Management, but if it were me, I'd go get them.
If it feels right in your head, your heart and your gut, just do it. Works for me everytime.

Well, I've got to get the football players fed, one's grumpy and the other one's sleepy. I am looking forward to the games on one hand because they will distract me for a while, but on the other hand, I'm afraid to come home and find out the storm's on the back porch.

1- Local tv meteorologist has been saying it COULD become a cat. 4. before landfall. Local EOC contacted and complained that tv station was creating a panic in the WPB area. Local station just went on the air live with the , and backed the station saying it is should be a cat. 3 and you should always plan for 1 cat higher.
2 - This just in from Thomas:
CAT 2 Jeanne continues to slowly strengthen.. Her track is still due west at an increased forward speed of 15 mph. Her eye wall is still large at approximately 40 miles but I expect it to begin decreasing in size. Also some dry air entrainment is occurring on her left side.
The /TPC 5:00 am EDT advisory on soon to be CAT 3 Jeanne has shifted the track to the left, more in line with the track I first forecasted quite a few days ago. I expect more track shifting to the left to occur as Jeanne heads for a landfall somewhere between Palm beach and Fort Pierce on Sunday morning. It's also possible that my Tarpon Springs to Bayport exit corridor into the Gulf Of Mexico may have to be shifted further south down the west coast of Florida.

clhooper1;
Don't take the chance. Go get the parents. They will be more comfortable in a place with an air conditioner and generator anyway. 75-90MPH winds may not seem so bad but if Jeanne "blooms" to a Cat 4, that may be somewhat conservative. You also have gusts to worry about...

I just saw channel 9 news in Orlando for the traffic report again. There is nobody on the roads! I4 is clear, the Beeline is clear, I95 is clear. What is going on? Hurricane compacency it has got to be!
I just came to the conclusion that except maybe for those living on the barrier islands, no one wants to evacuate INTO the center track. With , Tampa evacuated to Orlando which turned out to be wrong and the East Coast wasn't expecting *anything*. With , similar reasoning except East Coast isllanders *know* better than to stay this time but may not come too far inland because of the forecast track.....It may not be being complacent, but prudent....

I have to agree, people are not wanting to head into the worse of it. We have relates in Titusville, odds are they are staying there instead of heading into Oviedo where the winds should be worse.

I guess that's one good thing about these canes hitting us on the weekend, free weekend minutes! (when the cell towers are up and functioning)
Do you mean give your number to our relatives so you can update them? Or so we can call you when we lose power and can see what's going on?

We've had several breaks Phil! Alex, Danielle, Earl, Gaston, Hermine, Karl, Lisa...See? We're quite lucky!
Seriously tho, I'm a firm believer in the last line of my signature. We've had many years of drought and these rains are helping to refill out valuable aquifer. Yes there has been loss of life and property but we've also made friends, met neighbors and learned a LOT. The information obtained from these storms will help us in the future...say...next week when the next one rolls thru....
I'm just saying there is good in this even tho it's a terrible thing to go thru.
God bless everyone in her path.

So I wonder how much of a chance is it that Jeanne goes marching straight across the state... or turns N a little late.. and hits us with higher than tropical storm force winds. It's probably dumb to even ask if that's within the realm of possibility, since it seems that just about ANYTHING has been possible this season!
Since our house in Pt Charlotte is not quite liveable right now, we are actually in student housing at the local college .. and they will make us evacuate if we have hurricane warnings up ..which means going to the gym with 1700 college students!! (Although we have alternate arrangements.. if there's time .. but I wonder how much time we'll have if that scenario occurs!!)

Well I am hoping that some people do move out of the state. I need a bigger house and there just isn't any inventory in the West Palm Beach area that meets my needs. My family has outgrown our current 2500 square foot home. My wife of 25 years, my 14 year old son and I have acquired two new roomies.... my mother and mother-in-law . Dear Lord cooped up in the house with shutters and nowhere to hide.......LOL. I hope that all you Florida residents stay safe.

I have been a long time observer of this site, but only posted a few times. Like others I have questions about some of the terminology and acronyms that are used. The one that has me STUMPED are T-numbers. What are T-numbers and what do they represent.
Thanks for the info.
