East or west?

I barely remember Hermione but can’t recall any of her movies.

I also remember Hurricane Alice which hit Panama City when we lived there in 1953. My Mother told me that it just miraculously died as it hit Panama City.

Don't forget the floaty things so you can all float!

How is it down in the Keys these days?

Hi, I’m Hermine, and my pronoun is Hismine, or else you are going to jail.

They really need to use more Velcro on cruise ships!

Based on the track of this storm, it may be the first to really endanger the Miami, FL metro region since Andrew in 1992. The possibility of a direct hit on Miami Beach, FL is not far-fetched based on some computer models.

I knew a Hermine.

I do not think this will be a major event.

[yawningotter]

I hope those cruise ships are more stable than they look.

Sister is in Ft. Lauderdale. Will be keeping an eye on this.

Surprised it got even near Panama City. Other things being equal, there simply isn't enough rotational force available for a hurricane in Panama, at only 9 degrees N. latitude.

Rainstorms/thunderstorms, yes, lots of 'em. Hurricanes? Certainly not since I've been here. Going on a couple of decades, now.

I rebuilt my generator carburator today based on these storm tracks. I live where Charlie Francis and Jeanne crossed paths in 04 and went six weeks with no A/C. This storm may not be strong but it only takes one tree limb to put you in the dark.

Ah, sorry! As noted, never seen a hurricane anywhere near Ciudad Panama. Florida, well, yep, they get some.

Sorry for the confusion.
