I hope the cranes are braced properly. They stand all the way through West Palm Beach.
Unless Ike makes an unlikely sharp turn out to the North Atlantic, some land masses are going to be in trouble. Four good days to watch and prepare. tick tock...
Ouch. The Bahamas will barely have time to clean up the mess from Hanna before they get REALLY clobbered, if that track holds.

Kick the baby!
NN, do you have a track like that for Hanna?
I had about written her off as a threat to our area until I read the latest NHC discussion:
IT’S WORTH NOTING THAT CONNECTING THE 48 AND 72 HOUR FORECAST POINTS WITH A STRAIGHT LINE GIVES A MISLEADING UNDERESTIMATE OF THE THREAT TO THE GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA COASTS. ONLY A GRADUAL RIGHT TURN IS EXPECTED AFTER 48 HOURS.
I began wondering if maybe I ought to pay attention for just a bit longer? The GFDL is still taking her right over my house, best I can tell...
Hmmm... I don’t really like the look of that. But, I’m going to go and finish enjoying my anniversary and worry about it tomorrow!

I agreed. If these storms were combines then I would feel a bit more worried. However I think(as a complete non professional) that these storms draw off the energy that might have given one of them power enough to do real damage.
Let’s put some perspective here. The New Orleans metro area has about 1.1 million people.
The South Florida Metro area has five times that!
Thanks! That looks as if we may get the edges, but still not the “real deal”...which is good!
I have the sense peope aren't paying close attention yet. I hope this guy turns north.
Presently, I still have some pecans on my trees that have survived Fay and Gustav.
I hate that pecan trees are so brittle. I always lose a large chunk of the tree during tropical storms, and the street is splattered with brown spots where the pecans get crushed. Fortunately, the pecan tree is a good distance from the house.
I spent all morning picking up small limbs and etc.
Squrrels.
IKE : Looks like he’s at 22 N now,,,due W wobble?...
I wouldn’t want to be under a pecan tree during a big storm. During Hugo, several HUGE ones fell in my aunt’s yard...the roots just came up out of the ground, but they’re bad at dropping limbs in just regular thunderstorms.
