I'm a tad more concerned about landfall along the FL Gulf Coast...
yes as a true tropical system....but after it hits florida and starts to move out to see its energy is forecast to Phase(aka merge) with another huge storm in the NE which if the models are correct will create the "perfect storm2 ") with huuricane force winds and heavy rain for the NE US ,which on top of the water logged ground from this months record rainfall, will create a flooding like they have never seen before...in fact is so scary of a situation that when it first started showing up 3 days ago everyone(weather geeks) though it was a goofy model run and laughed at it..but it has now shown up for the 3rd day in a row and is supported by some other models now..
Hubby is at a conference here and there is a dinner planned for us Friday night, so leaving early would be difficult (but not impossible). On top of that my brother called that my dad went into the hospital with chest pains last night. They are running tests, so I don't know anything yet.
I came here to relax and my stress level is through the roof now.
