Welcome to Wednesday's Hurricane Frances news-twist !

It looks like a Melbourne Landfall after all, once again (to Section9's worst fears) churning it's way North along the Coast Highway ...

I say it turns north goes to Martha's Vineyard and doodies all over the stuffy rich Democrats there....:)

The latest European model -ECMWF- now tracks her to the GA coast. This is a major shift in this model since the last run. Of the five models I checked, ETA, AVN, MRF, ECMWF and UKMET, 3 put it near Melbourne, 2 put it up near GA/SC.

I am soooo glad I'm in the Midwest!

I'm with you......if someone has to get it...wish it'd turn NE and hit NO US land mass.

[Howlin]

What is this talk about a tropical ridge that may send her south toward Miami?

[mdmathis6]

Actually Martha's Vineyard is not the U.S....it is France(west)!(oooo la la!)

[ZinGirl]

that is an AWESOME picture. I have family in the Melbourne area (actually near Vero, too....at Sebastian Inlet). I've e-mailed that picture around to them and other friends. Truly spectacular.

Prayers up!...for my family and others in the potential path.

How can something so beautiful be so deadly?

[bitty]

This thing scares me. I have a bad feeling. The large eye and other things remind me of Hugo. I lived through that and don't want to go through another one.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Yes, but some of us Midwesterners were supposed to head to FLA for a fun event this weekend. I'm sad because it's probably not going to happen, and I won't get to hear my husband's past champion quartet sing. My kids are very disappointed - this was going to be a vacation for them.

ever see "Devil's Advocate"? (snicker....in it the "beautiful" friends that Charlize Theron hangs around are basically demons).

but you're right....it IS beautiful....but will destroy what/whoever it wants to.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Killjoy you are not - you are WISEjoy ;-).

[moonman]

I'm staying put here in Cocoa/Canaveral area.

[spectre]

It's still possible it turns NE.

Not from a hurricane area obviously, but get supplies and wait until it gets closer. Then listen to what Floridians urge...evacuations etc.

[shield]

It's still possible it turns NE.

Let's pray for that, I know that's what I've been praying for last couple of days!!!!

[dixierose]

Another tip...something I learned during the Floyd evacuation.

I live near Savannah, and by the time we left most of the hotel rooms were taken by displaced Floridians and Georgians from further south. I had no problem finding a cabin in a state park though. They had several available. Apparantly no one thought to try them. I don't know how many state or national parks are in southern Florida, so it may not be an option; but I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it.

I guess that means you can go to TRG's BBQ Saturday?
