Very similar stories in Fl with respect to the Generators, you don't need them till the power is out, an not right away

I think the inner eyewall is collapsing on the east side. Which means...well, I don't know what it will mean as it relates to final track of this storm, but it could weaken it a bit if its starting a new .
Jeanne is still having a problem with dry air entrainment, as Ed mentioned. I think Jeanne will remain a 115mph storm through landfall.

Well all I can say is Max Mayfield is sticking with his track.. Not sure if that is just attempting to portray a constistent message or if he believe that it really will track that way.

It's funny that those of you who haven't been through them are the ones criticizing those who have and who now refuse to leave. I was in Arcadia for losing trees, roof, and stepping out into an alien world after it passed. I was in Bradenton for without power for a week, and I fled to Tennessee for where 4 trees fell right outside the house from the high winds (go figure). My parents' home on Abaco was destroyed, and has just been struck again. I am SICK to death of running from them. My child has missed more school than he can afford. I'm completely out of money from spending thousands more than my normal budget on damage repairs, evacuations, etc.
So before you point fingers at the decisions made by people who have now been through three "nasties", try to consider that they might have litttle choice at this point.

Oh, Dear Bev, you've really been through it. I'm sorry my location didn't tell you more about me. I've lived in Fla, but, more importantly, I went through Super-typhoon Paka. Evacuation isn't an option on Guam. I know how you feel. Hugs to you. I know you're doing the best you can. Be safe. lilyv

Looks to me like landfall in Martin or St. Lucie counties. East and west eyewalls there with the north eyewall in Indian River and the south eyewall in Palm Beach counties. 4 counties can see the eyewall at one time during this landfall.

Winds really picking up here in Vero. All of the little oak trees in my yard are down... again! Water startin to pool on the streets. Still have power, cable and phone, but getting warnings that this will not last. Really have been fortunate with outer rain bands so far, but looks like the eye is on it's way! Sustained winds seem like high 30's to low 40's with some really potent gusts now. The light show from arching transformers is starting, so I am REALLY powering down the computer this time. Got the safe room ready (stocked with wine, beer, Jack, and cat food). Keeping in touch with all of my neighbors by walkie talkie. Wish I had a back-up for the computer. Waiting for that NWN turn so that we don't end up on the north side of this thing!

They first announced it was postponed. If they were so concerned about playing it, why didn't they play it today?

Are the steelers even IN Florida? That could be why they didn't play the game today...

The Steelers came in yesterday, they figured they would play the game when it made sense. Obviously, the weather is worse in Miami today than it will be tomorrow. Should be beautiful weather by kickoff, actually.

Highest gust at the house so far has been 33mph. MLB has recorded 48mph and they are just 10 miles to the southeast of my location. I think that Cat II at landfall is about as strong as this one will get - still having dry air entrained into the system from the north.
Cheers,
ED
I hope to hell you're right. Satellite Beach house did ok with but will we be that lucky a second time!?
