Ocala,
Hopefully they were just heading out of the storms path and plan to return Monday. Otherwise this is going to be a long long storm, no matter how fast it is moving!!

Here in Lakeland we just had a wind gust that appeared to be about 30 mph. Wind is pretty steady at 23 mph for the most part.
Just enough so far to knock down loose debris from any trees that were not pruned by the last storm.

Can we do a roll call? Who is still here that's located within 100 mi of projected landfall?

yeah, they said skip up the east coast! I guess they don't believe or their own eyes!
Consider the source -- in a broad, general sense, Jeanne will be moving up the east coast (of the U.S.).

Joe Scarbourgh just clocked a 120 mph gust in West PB on his anometer and reported live on MSNBC... he was getting one hell of a blow and was doing every thing he could just to stand up.... all it would take is a small piece of debris to nail his butt and it might send him into early retirement... amazing gusts just pummeling this dude....

Hey StormHound,
He was on Heartland?? on Fox News twice tonight. It was the usual fare..him trying to give an in-depth explanation for his forecast and the talking head chopping it all to hell and cutting him off. I think he was trying to explain that the north and eastern portion of the storm would draw energy from the gulf stream while the southern and western weakened from frictional effects over land, causing it to pull north along the coast. He also believed this could cause the eye to "wrap up" causing some additional increase in intensity as it came ashore.
Not sure I'm buying it as she looks to me to still be going almost due west, but I get the theory.

One of the dots on the track is right on top of our house, so I guess it's just a matter of time. My guess is they will cut the power before it gets bad, anyway. I don't think it will take three weeks to get the power back on here, though, because the Cracker Barrel where all the linemen eat is about 100 yards from my house (I-4 and US27)

First of all, CNN should stick to politics, not the weather. They've been saying "up the coast" for 4 days. They are clueless.
I have been watching the local mets here and I think they have a better idea...as a matter of fact, 3 mets in the last 15 minutes have been talking about having to shift the track a little further south, and JC just confirmed that with his report in which he stated that for every little W/NW jog it takes, it takes 4 more to the west, so I have to agree with the westward track.
Right now the latest winds in Lakeland - Lakeland Highlands to be exact -- are now to the NNW at 24 gusting to 32mph.
I can absolutely not even imagine what sustained winds of 50 mph will be like in a few hours, nevermind 90 with gusts over 100.
It also looks like Jeanne is getting her act together again. The eyewall appears to be closed again and the convection is firing back up. Is she now in the Gulfstream? or is that yet to come?
I do believe that they have issued Hurricane Watches/Tropical Storm Warnngs along the West Coast of Florida, because the track and the large area of the hurricane winds and tropical storm force winds.
The local EOC's (including Polk County) are practically BEGGING people in mobile homes to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. They even went as far as to have a News Channel 8 reporter in Polk County go on live tv telling people this is no game, it's not and to PLEASE GO TO EITHER A SHELTER OR FAMILY. Hillsborough County is offering to take in POLK county residents!
Steve Jerve from News Channel 8 is now interviewing Max Mayfield at 9:27pm: addressing the inland counties: expect very high winds; the west coast of Florida could experience a HIGHER storm surge than the EAST coast as it moves across the state because the waters are more shallow . Max Mayfield just stated that at 11pm the track may be shifted a little bit to the west. A "little bit to the west" is very disconcerting...as we saw with ...a little jog to the right or left makes a huge difference right now, because that will affect the inland counties as far as where a lot of the damage will be. But with the wide area of hurricane force, then TS force winds I'm not sure that anyone in the inland path of this storm is going to be less affected than anyone else.
The lights are flickering here right now a little bit, I don't think we will be as lucky in not losing our power this time around.
Okay, that's my local update from Lakeland Highlands. We are also looking at 10" of rain or maybe more! Polk County is really in a bad spot for storms that go across the peninsula; we get socked from the east then socked from the west.

You know you're a hurricane freak when you wake up in the morning and hit "REFRESH" on CFHC instead of the Snooze Button.
