wrong. wont be anywhere near this strong towards the carolinas...

If, as they're currently expecting (last I heard) it crosses Florida and hits the Atlantic at Daytona, it could strengthen in the Atlantic and turn back toward the Carolinas as a WORSE storm.

It will weaken if it stays over land, but not if it hits the ocean again.

And he said during his report that he was hit by glass shrapnel earlier!

Some mules gotta be smacked with a 2x4 three or four times before they get the message.

And the Gulf Stream is awful damn warm too...

I know. The water is like soup here - with seaweed.
I live where the shelf is high, when my girlfriend came to visit me I took her to the beach.

She said you don't live near a beach, you live near a swamp.

Uhhh . . . dude . . . did you miss the part about it crossing Florida back out into the Atlantic? I swear, if all you have is disinformation and you don't know what's going on then please . . . DON'T POST ANYTHING. This is starting to annoy me.

nope..didnt miss that at all....however it will be back over water for only a few hours and will not have time to increase back to anywhere near this level...it will also be experiencing upper level shear at that point which will also limit strenthening....official nhc forecast has relandfall at 65kt winds.....

I'm in Daytona Beach. It is thundering VERY loudly out of the south, the winds are picking up with the rain,and we are under a tornado watch until 5pm.

This is the FIRST band. "It's gonna be a bumpy nite !!"

Good point, especially where this thing is landing and the narrow channels.

Correct, Camille came in with a 25 ft storm surge and waves 25 feet on top of that... amazing. She was also a "tightly" wrapped storm. The pressure was in the upper 800's and dropping when she entered Mississippi.

When I visited a friend in Pascagoula, Mississippi (on the MS coast) a few years ago, he took me on a drive and showed me an empty lot overlooking the beach. There had been a big three-story house there before Camille came in. After Camille passed through, all that was left on the lot was a bare concrete slab foundation, which was still there the day I saw it, about ten bricks left of what used to be the fireplace, and the bottom two steps of the concrete front stairs.

It's about what I'd expect to have been left after a nearby nuclear strike.

Yeah we were without power for a week and it took us that long to clear the driveway so we could get drive out on the road. We lived in a very wooded area and I remember being afraid the trees would fall on our house--only months old at that point. The eye for Gloria tracked right over our house.

I talk about hurricanes with the 'natives' out here in the Bay Area and they just glaze over. No frame of reference.

Great, (/sarcasm) our condo is in that row of high-rises at Daytona Beach Shores, so if it crosses over top of you .....

Funny, the only people on the Hurricane Net are Daytona Beach Red Cross.

Still no reports from the west coast of Florida.

I think Tampa dodged a bullet this time.

Yeah, it looks that way and that's good news. It's just unnerving and scary not hearing from anyone down there. We'll feel better once we hear from them.
