Quite honestly, I don't expect this girl to hit you. However, it could, so it's important to have wood. Be Seeing You,

That's also what happened when Andrew hit. Reports kepts saying it was going N and it didn't. Nobody really knows where it will hit until the day before or the day of impact.
Because of this, my area (Homestead) is getting ready for the potential of landfall near us or the most likely senario, that we will get a good portion of the storm over us.
Historically, Cat. 4 & 5 storms (since 1886) at this time of the year, go to FL. or turn north into the sea.
I think the best we can hope for at this point is going out to sea.

I just looked at the probabilities map. The map shows that Orlando is right in the middle of the probable path. On the other hand, it shows that the likelihood of it going thru Orlando is only 10-15%, which is the same probability that the map gives to every place along the coast, all the way from Miami to Jacksonville.
Now for a little "gallows humor." At least I won't have to worry too much about tree damage. Charley took out most of my trees two weeks ago.
With all due respect I have to disagree. I was living on the Dade county border when Andrew hit and for 3 days prior to the storm...there was ZERO talk about Andrew going north. If anything it was all about how due west it was going to go.
Hey Homestead!!! We are from Homestead. We lived on 6th ave behind Homestead Natl bank during Andrew. We stayed a year and then moved to Knoxville TN. It's been a good move for our family, but we still love South Florida. As a matter of fact we are scheduled to fly into Ft Lauderdale this Sat. for a visit to Miami and the Keys next week. We're sitting here trying to decide what to do. Any suggestions???
