Thanks for that info Jamiewx! I live in Mount Dora and honestly didn't think it was going to be that severe. I guess I better pick up my Halloween decor tomorrow........

Accuweather seems to be trying to stay with model consensus. Expect to shift north. Doubt quite thaat far this time. Expect Hurricane watch from Tampa area south, too.

I know I heard and also read that the S side of the storm should/could be the worst due to the front, this model does not completely show that, only one model though

Pressure down slightly on the last recon... it seems to be holding its own for now. With a large eye, re-intensification may be slow to occur if it does at all.

The south side of the storm should be the strongest because of the forward speed. Max winds should be much lower on the northern side of the storm, but there could be a wide area of strong tropical storm force winds to the north because of the pressure gradient in that area.

From the 5pm ET discussion:
"Alpha is the twenty-second named storm this season and overall makes the 2005
hurricane season the most active on record. "
That just sounds... crazy. But then again, this has been a crazy season.

On TS and Hurricane, yes...But hurricane ONLY south of Tampa
Basically cutting off from I-4 South as "Hurricane" and I-4 North as "Tropical Storm"
With it being as wide as it s, that's to be expected. It would seem as if they're staying close to the original track, with some confidence

Buoy's 42039 and 42036 both are dropping in pressure over the last couple of hours now. Also, FoxNews is covering PC

They still have plenty of time to move it. Does not surprise me that there was no move. What move that would have been likely was only a smal small move anyways. Still have 40 hours to landfall. Like I said before, I am not sure this storm will be the type that 20 miles makes a huge difference.

That's a little overly simplistic. Longboat Key is substantially further south than Tampa by about 2 hours by car.
Longboat Key is in south Manatee county. Just an FYI

max mayfield just said long boat was north of tampa....
having stayed at my Grandparents' house on Anna Maria Island (Due north of Longboat) for many years, I can say with precise certainty where Longboat Key is.  -Tom

Longboat Key is approximately 50 to 60 miles South of I-4.

Guys it is important to look at your local forecasts from the NWS. My area (Lake County) is under a Tropical Storm Watch and we are forecast to get gusts to Hurricane Force.

Yes, it is simplistic.
But it is a good point of reference.
and according to this...
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?sea...fl&zipcode=
It is just south of Tampa
