Hi all. I'm currently trying to decide if I should go into my lab and ready it for severe weather. With the more northerly turn and possible landfall near PCB, what can I expect to see in Gainesville with . The news outlets here really stink and this community provides the most reliable information I can find. Thanks in advance!

New Special Advisory calling for a Cat 4 at landfall...
I just did a live interview with Max Mayfield...they are VERY concerned with the rapid deepening that is ongoing...his words, "If you live with 50 miles of the coast from Panama City west, get out".
Probably the best advice you can hear.

I'm at a friend's house and what did I do but get all three of us looking at on the web.
Amazing on the sat photo...looks just like it did before hitting Cuba, just like a perfect tire shape in the middle, and perfect on the water vapor view as well. Can't believe it is not a CAT 4 at this point. The pressure is almost down to the 938 before it hit Cuba.
Well I will be very anxious to see the 11pm advisory and discussion, and also to see the results of the models.

Is everyone still convinced that a FL/AL land fall is what will happen?
Anyone feel that it maybe more PCB?

VandyBrad, Gainesville is likely to see quite a bit of rain from this storm, perhaps up to 5-7 inches (depending on how much has already been received). Wind gusts may briefly get to tropical storm force, but that is just in gusts and sustained winds are more likely in the 20s. If you feel that there may be something worth going in and taking precautions for, it's better to play it safe than sorry, but I do not believe that there will be a lot of damage...particularly considering the good quality of most of the buildings at UF. It'll largely be like Florida's afternoon thunderstorms, just over a longer period of time and with a bit more rain.

Mud...me again. You know we're only 20 miles from the coast. I didn't think much about the "50 miles inland" statement until someone reposted it. Maybe I will have to stay awake until I feel more comfortable about where this storm is going.

Where/How do you see Jason's broadcast? I click on the webcast link but it doesn't open a file I can play. Thanks.

I am curious about this too. I know a couple hours ago everyone was saying that it was turning more NNW than NW. I guess the 11pm update will tell us more. I know in the blog they are saying closer to PCB than Pensacola. Any other opinions?

Latest recon says that they found winds 122Knots in the NE quadrant....what does that equate to, maybe about 130 mph? Would that make it a CAT 4?

and looking at the models...don't like the look of the hurricane right now....
nothing to prevent it from weakening now....looks like a more north path..right where went last year...we'll see.....it will be bad for them...looks like we will dodge a bullet with this one...looks like a Pensacola or further east;...but who knows....

Hey! I'm kind of scared of the WVUE meterologist in New Orleans, Jeff Baskin. He's been wong so many times....ya think this thing is really gonna turn N-NW??? Looks like to me that that trough is retreating a bit....

OK guys. You told me when Jim Cantore came to town we were safee since he was always in the wrong place. Tonight he is moving to Gulf Breeze Hospital to broadcast, about 5 blocks from my house. What do you think.
I'm thinking it might be time to load the car and head north!!!

Just got a rainfall count from the feeder band that went through Atlanta earlier and the airport near 6 Flags picked up 3.60" in a 3 hour period......
