We are suppose to be in Florida on Wednesday for the Ft. Lauderale boat show. How does the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area figure into Wilma?
That would be TS Howard Dean. TS Algore is a snoozer that drinks too much tea and sweats a lot.
a couple of his good pics - I am dreading the pics of the beautiful hotel beachfront.

By Wednesay, Wilma should be long gone - but we don't know what kind of damage it would leave behind. That all depends on its final track and intensity.
MIA-FLL under hurricane watch tonight.
And remember, with a forward speed of 20-25 mph, it will feel like a category stronger to everyone south of the eye.
I haven't read the entire thread, so I don't know if you may or maynot have to hit the road. Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts, and I wish the the best.

Some models are drifting north again, although they appear to converge from Charlotte to Collier Counties, although up here we will be on the nasty side of this unless it stays farther to the south, over the Keys for example, IMHO!!
Good point.
I heard Bill Clinton keeps a few blow frongs handy between intern sessions to keep from getting himself all beeber stuned. A side benefit is that he can keep his cigars properly humidified in their aquarium now that he doesn't have easy access to his human humidor anymore.
It's been said Clinton used to offer blow frong legs as state gifts to Jaques Chirac to keep on his good side.
And Al Gore has been accused at least once in Florida of getting blow frong chads pregnant.
But I'm not sure what a blow frong is so it's entirely possible that Blow Frong had somethig to do with Chinagate.
Where are you now?
Good for you. Last year, the only boats that survived the storms were the ones secured on their lifts.
We're in Illinois hugging grandbabies.
THAT'S WONDERFUL!
They are wasting no time. Brevard County has issued a mandatory evac of mobile and manufactured homes issued effecgtive 10AM Sunday, they do NOT think they will evac the barrier island but that could change. I believe the worry is about tornadoes in the outer bands as the fast moving storm approaches. Shelters open at 10AM Sunday. School already cancelled for Monday. No lines at gas stations, grocery store is typical Saturday, still water on the shelves. Gas still @ $2.76.
that sounds a lot better then what I had tonite, some kind of hamberger helper, thing.. I do so hate batching it!!
Am prepared.
Been watching the TV loop.
Seems like maybe the expectation has been adjusted a bit north.
With these things you never know and I don't think they really know for sure.
I remember last year Charlie was forecast to hit Tampa Bay, then it took an unexpected jog east into Pt. Charlotte. We watched the jog on TV and never felt anything only an hour north.
Lots of folks left Tampa area to flee to the south and got hammered there.
Watching and waiting.......:}
Here's another record for you - most number of names retired.
At this point, I figure it's six: Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma. Who knows, Vince might get retired from novelty value. But the old record was four, shared by many active years.
