With all the concentration on Florida, let me draw you toward something else the series of models has been consistently showing over the last several runs: a left hook into New England toward the middle of the week. Landfall for could be anywhere between Conneticut and Newfoundland, with the time-average of the models concentrating on Maine. Additionally, the attached intensity guidence indicates that hurricane force winds, possible as high as Category 2, may effect parts of New England.
Now you may continue with your obsessive-compulsive "where is it going to hit in Florida" discussion 
My trigger finger is getting itchy. But since this is discussion related? I'll leave it~danielw

My parents are in a small mobile home in Zephyrhills, Pasco County, northeast of Tampa. Should I be urging them to get out of there at this point? I'm in Melbourne Beach area on east coast, but in a solid house. It doesn't sound like it's going to be any picnic for us here, but should my folks be on their way here tomorrow?
I'm worried--not sure what to do at this point.

Might be a good idea to bring em over to Melbourne. Though, its now or never, and especially since they are in a mobile home, with the chance for hurricane force winds and tornadic activity in that area,

Wilma is still moving VERY slowly. Any movement that occurs in the next several hours is not going to tell us anything about where it is going to make landfall.

I'd tend to agree wtih CaneTracker on this one. Although it looks like this area (I'm in Tampa) won't suffer the worse effects of the storm, if I were in a mobile home I think I'd evacuate. I just don't trust them to stand up to the winds. My philosophy is it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Hard to say that storms over Fl this PM are directly influenced by -- Several severe storms noted on Melb radar are generating various tornado warnings-- including N of Palm Beach and several approaching Orlando -- But looking at motion all are moving almost directly away from to NE -- Not Wrapping around as far outer bands would

Latest satallite looks like is starting to develop some cold cloud tops again. The dry air that was so visible before is now almost completely covered by convection. Still, probably will take a little more time to work it out.

The storms may be loosely related to . The outflow jet from is probably enhancing the shear a little bit for those storms.

The northern eye wall is really starting to fire up. Motion is real erratic at this point. It all depends how far the trough digs to the south. We will no by 5am ADV.

Max on CNN says: eyewall large so changes will be slow.....no estimates of Cancun gusts yet...slow intensification possible over loop current back into major hurricane.....ERC could happen...he's amazed that the small eyewall is still intact.

I have a oddball question. What would happen IF the trough does not pick her up? I have seen where there has been at least one time so far that it didnt dip farther south to pick it up.

gailwarning - always best to error on the side of caution. They are suggesting that Tampa will see 75 mph+ winds.
www.wfts.com/stories/2005/10/051022local.shtml
However, realize it may be more prudent for them to go to a local shelter than for you to run across the state on Sunday as the roads will become full with traffic - especially the I-4 corridor - and the rain is scheduled to start becoming harder and harder.
Of course, only you folks know what is best for your safety.
Take care!

The last advisory had the speed near 3 MPH; but if you look at the various loops and compare the time it takes for the eye width to travel over a fixed point it sure appears to me that she's moving faster than that now...
