Thank you tpratch for the graphics, well done, exactly the info I'm looking for. If you haven't checked it out, I'd suggest trying grlevelx radar. It only works for the US radar sites so not useful yet, but it's much better than image manipulation for determining angles. Not a bad time at all to do a free trial or buy it.

Good morning Pam,

What would be your best guess for a worst-cast scenario for Volusia County? Do you think we still risk having Wilma passing right over us, or to our north? Would an outgoing hurricane also batter our beaches?

With neighbourly greetings,

VS

I am not a met so I wont forcast not to mention that this storm is a pain in figuring out what she's gonna do. We (at my house in port orange) have been ready for months. I just add some snacks to the cabinet at the last minute. We have our generator from last year, the pool has been lowered, the food is stocked so only left would be board the windows, which from what i see now wouldnt be necessary, unless Wilma doesnt weaken like they expect. Unfortunately all we can do now is wait and watch the models trend one way or another and come together after she exits the yucatan. That is when we will know. The GFDL is now showing the storm coming off fl between NSB and MELB area which is surely subject to change. Keep an eye out especially after the Yucatan cuz the possibility for stalling or running quickly exists.
peace

Accuweather has made a major move south with their landfall (it used to center at Punta Gorda). They also have it a Cat 1 coming ashore in the south Everglades near Flamingo.

Thanks! My family is also as ready as can be, but we do live on the water (on the Turnbull Bay Creek) and we did have some really nasty tornadoes last year with Charley so we are keeping a very close watch on this one. But then, considering how we have been spared this year and how much suffering others have had we really, really, cannot complain.

Peace and good luck to you!

This storm is getting on my nerves - wait, wait, almost there, wait, a little further, oh no look out here she comes - is the way this is going to play out. The good news that almost all the models agree: landfall in SW FL at Cat 2 level. However we can't rule out Cat 3 level just yet, and "SW FL" covers a huge area from Tampa thru the Keys. At this point the 5 day forecast has turned into a 7 day event

I still have a GUT FEELING that this thing is going to take off and people are going to be caught off-guard.

People are now being told "Late Monday" and if this takes off early on say saturday and gets here late Sunday, people are going to panic hard.

If you look at the latest Cancun radar image and high res. vis. satelite images (not so clear) you can see the "starfish" pattern inside the eye, like Isabel had

In our case, if we have reasons to suspect any hurricane force winds we will evacuate to Orlando to a friend's place which is very sturdy and away from water. With Charley my wife, my three kids and I spend about 2 hours in a walk-in closet after a tornado passed over our neighbour's house (it was pitch dark, but we heared it very well, even in the hurricane force winds, our roof made a loud "CRAAAAK" and our windows almost popped out. The next day our neighbour's house had part of its roof ripped off) and we promised each other that we never, ever would stay for another hurricane.

I wonder what will happen for the Biketober fest and how many of these bikers will attempt to drive around in the storm (most of these folks come from up north and have no idea what a hurricane looks like). Let's hope that we do not have too many casualites.

Having went through all of the Hurricanes last year and seeing first hand the unpredictibilty of these storms, I can completely understand what you are saying......
