Wew. Central Florida (Orlando) is out of the woods on this one. I have been through three of these bad boys and there is no joking or fun about them. I thought the first I was through would be fun, so I was partying. I quickly realized that partying is not appropriate - like the possibility of death or serious injury would be a serious possibility.
Let us all hope and pray that there is not this such naivety in the panhanlde.

Heh... there's a fairly strong cell forming off Palm Beach, and there've been three vivid lightning flashes with loud thunder in as many minutes.

Yeah. I'm thinking the west coast is gong to have a rough night. There have already been damage reports exceeding those from last season. Probably from hidden damage from last year. Last 3 hours obs from the NWS station at the St. Pete/Clearwater Airport have been consistent at sustained winds at 25-35 MPH with gusts to 41 MPH. With the larger wind field of , we might be seeing higher values later.

Yes, I guess that all depends if is truly on a more N/NW track...if it is, we'll get hammered by the backside,too.
Speaking of which...I just felt a rumble of thunder that made me jump. I would guess that this is the next round of feeder bands getting ready to pass through.
The Tornado Watch was supposed to expire here at 11pm. I guess I'll go check to see if that's still the case.

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

The Tampa Bay area was hit worst by Jeanne well after she passed by.
The wrap-arounds were intense.

I checked, it says "up to 230 miles". Last advisory said 175 miles, so you're on the border on maybe getting em as you're about 175-200 miles out.

04Z discussion is up, with more strong and colorful language.
"after deepening at a rate that bordered on insane during the
afternoon...Dennis has continued to strengthen at a more normal
rate this evening."

To me, a novice, this storm [center] looks tight and compact like , so why would the TS winds extend out to 230mi.? passed about 30/40 miles to the east of me and we barely got a whisp of wind.

Depends on the quadrant you're in, too. The winds don't always extend in a complete round circle exactly the same in every direction from the center.

After reading the 11 pm Discussion and the mention of Pascagoula to Pensacola as the "landfall area." I decided to go ahead and post this.
Evacuation
Jackson County:
Jackson County Civil Defense declared a mandatory evacuation of all Zone A residents including all low lying areas, mobile homes, campgrounds and beach front. The Jackson County Civil Defense highly recommends evacuation of all other areas.
A nightly curfew will go into effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Saturday.
For current storm information for Jackson County, listen to the following radio stations:
WPMP AM 1580 or WOSM FM 103.1
Hancock County:
Hancock County EMA is issuing a mandatory evacuation for Zones A & B and all low lying areas that have been prone to flooding. People in mobile homes should make preparations to evacuate.
The people of Bay St. Louis and Waveland are only under a recommended evacuation.
Hancock County EMA is now working a skeleton crew on 24 hour operations at the emergency operations center. Any questions, please contact the EMA office at (228)467-9226.
Harrison County:
Mandatory evacuation for Zones A & B and evacuation is strongly recommended for Zone C.
Emergency management officials said following the mandatory order is a matter of life or death. Failing to evacuate puts lives at grave risk. Residents who stay during the storm may at times have no chance of medical, police or fire rescue.
Mississippi Gaming Commission announced that all Harrison County casinos will close at 12 a.m. Sunday.

The NE quadrant is the most intense and largest. For , Tampa was on the weak side. The worst case scenario for Tampa Bay would be for an eye landfall at Tarpon Springs.
