Didn't get the names of the ports they are leaving. I assume all the ports in Florida.

Prayers for you folks in Florida. We that live on the coast have to take these things seriously.

I just got off the phone with my parents in Naples. Raining heavily but the wind hasn't gotten too bad yet and they still had power - although it has flickered several times. I wish they had left yesterday when they had the chance.

If they haven't left the Gulf Coast of Florida already, it's too late.

The "spoil" islands are the small islands which form the causeway. There are three bridges and two small pieces of land. In an 18' surge, they are toast (and to think that I was just standing on them last month, watching fireworks).
Landfall is going to be at Blind Pass, which is the small pass that separates Captiva and Sanibel (which was formed by a hurricane).
To: ContemptofCourt
Holy crap...they are now talking about losing the causeway to Sanibel. Looking at the the storm surge projections and elevations of the threatened areas on the Weather Channel, they should be more worried about losing Sanibel.

Sort of like watching a train wreck about to happen in slow-motion, and no one's quite sure where it's going to crash.
Only thing for sure is, you know it's going to hit something somewhere.

I just talked to my brother he is still home......he was telling me stuff is flying by the house. He is convinced he is safe.
He is 7 miles from the Gulf.

They just said Orlando could have hurricane force winds.
With Florida's width being so small, the feeder bands can still be in the Gulf of Mexico when the eye is over Disney World.
The intensity will not diminish as much compared to--for example--a hurricane hitting Texas.
Besides, Florida has so many lakes it is like being over water even when it is inland.

the President already has FEMA there ready and rolling.Rock on, Bush Brothers!
