Works great for me if I have water.. LOL.. I have well water, so my pressure tanks only provide enough water pressure for a few hours. After that, I am waterless. Need to get one of those hand pumps.. I am lucky though, I have a pool and a bucket that allows me to flush toilets, and if all else fails there is the lake.. Though usually after a storm there is some displacement in snakes and other critters.

Right now I'm hoping she tracks as originally forecasted...Jax has been fortunate for a very long time, though--I'm just hoping it's not our time.

That's definitely one time you don't want a "snake" in the toilet.

Just checking in...
Looks like we are going to get hurricane force winds in my area very early tomorrow morning and throughout some portion of Sunday. I'll give some reports of the weather during the storm (for as long as power permits-which we didn't lose during -but I don't think we will be lucky this time).
On another note, the barometric pressure dropped down to 974 millibars during . It will interesting to see if the pressure can dip lower than that during Jeanne.
stay safe

No sense making a track map as Jeanne looks committed to the current path. Street level windfield maps tomorrow at 11am.

When I bought water for (I think - they are all becoming a blur) Walmart was out of Gallon bottles of water so I bought cases of single serve bottled water like you would get out of a vending machine - I stuck those in my freezer so that I had small blocks of Ice.
Be careful when freezing Ziploc bags with water - I stacked the bags that I thought were frozen - the middle ones broke open and spilled the water into the bottom of my chest freezer. Now I have a 3 inch block of ice coveiring the freezer floor. I almost defrosted it this week, but then all of the talk here made me decide to wait and see whter I would need all the ice I could get 
SOry my fingers are getting sleepy - just waiting on the map then I am gonna try to get some sleep - lots of prep to do tomorrow

I can't believe this is happening again!
I filled the bottom drawer in my freezer (& some 2 liters) with water. After freezing, It helped keep the freezer at refrigerator temperature for several days.

I voted for this site. I have found it to be more informative than any site on the WEB. Even though i live in Central Alabama i found this site and love it. We had tropical winds and they scared me to death. I could not think about H-force winds.

as previously been noted, we are approaching the Maunder Minimum, so Sunspot Activity is typically lower (and will reach a minimum around 2006. To the best of my knowledge there haven't been any suprises in the volume or coverage of sunspots in the last year at least. and while there were a few suprises during the Maximum (there was a double maximum, and the strongest flares since rating began in 1979), that was a number of years ago and shouldn't have any impact on the current weather.
thanks

Kevin, I don't think the hurricane force winds are to arrive until later Sat...not in the early morning.

I know and Eustis is almost hidden by the yellow track line.  If this forecast sticks this will be worse than and were for this area, which wasn't too terribly bad.

Local tv just talked to a man on Abaco Island. He is already reporting 60-70 mph winds and the storm isn't even close yet.
 Local reporters on the barrier islands of Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties are finding that many, many people are NOT leaving. Their reasoning is that authorities didn't let them back home soon enough after so they are staying this time. This is NOT good.

Another typical August:
Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.

Hello-- Does anyone have any thoughts about Jeanne's intensity once it reaches the Jacksonville area? Wondering if it's going to be worse than here and what precautions we might need to take. I live about a block from the St. Johns river.
I found this under GA's information from 11PM, which addressed both GA and FL conditons. Hope it helps.
...STORM SURGE FLOOD AND STORM TIDE IMPACTS...
AT THIS TIME...SIGNIFICANT TIDAL FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY. BY SATURDAY NIGHT...TIDES OF 2 TO 3 FEET ABOVE THE
HEIGHT OF NORMAL TIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH VALUES OF 3 TO 5 FEET
ABOVE NORMAL POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DUE TO
PERSISTENT ONSHORE WINDS...TIDE LEVELS ON THE ST. JOHNS RIVER ARE
ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL. COMBINED WITH ALREADY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL
TIDES...IF THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK MATERIALIZES...SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING MAY OCCUR ALONG THE ST. JOHNS RIVER.
