"Well I DO because it has ripped MY family a part! I have one relative who died over drugs. It has infiltrated into my community too. So yes, I am extremely obsessed about drug traffickers. So if you don't like my posts "ignore" them. (shrug)
"

So start your own thread on that subject. The subject here is the hurricane.

Radar from Ft Myers shows that band of showers over you is moving northeast into the Atlantic ..

Directly in front of the storm's path.

Out of line, dude. People on this thread have family right there in the middle of this.

I am right in the middle of this in Orlando. My cousin in Altamonte Springs is right in the middle of this. My sister-in-law in Sarasota is right in the middle of this. My Regional Office in Tampa is right in the middle of this.

My wife is scared to death. I just interjected a bit of gallows humor. Lighten up. You are not in the path of the eye like I am.

I'm looking at the infared animation from GOES, and in the course of the past hour, it looks like the eyewall has not been affected at all from being on land.

Figures, I get a response from an "godless athiest"

Don't worry MineralMan, GOD is on my side and those like me who worship the Lord instead of "mocking" him.

I'm not sure, Peach. My dad in Port Charlotte told me he had been preparing for two days doing the yard and emergency supplies, but he assumed they would not get the brunt of the storm. It wasn't until around noon that he heard "get out now" on the radio. That's what he told me but he could be mistaken.

I don't know about Port Charlotte, but North Port, about 4 miles away was not evacuated.

Prayers up.

It should weaken once over land since it is slowing down.

Now, I won't be as crazily optimistic of it going down to TS strength like some folks...Florida is not that big across and is mostly flat.

However, it should go down to low cat 2...possibly....maybe...Cat 1.

I've seen huge waves take out sea walls in Red Bank, NJ

Was that a hurricane? Or N'oreaster? And having large waves hit does not always correlate to a direct hit.

Once again, this one is SSW of Jersey, and the prevailing steering currents are running NNE. The coast also runs NNE. If it hits Jersey, it will have been inland for some time. If it misses NC, it will also miss Jersey. The geometry isn't right for this to be anything but a potential rain and flooding event.
