It can't hurt......
Will be interesting to watch this one turn on a dime.
If the logo showed a hurricane in the GOM, I might be inclined to agree...
I'm afraid that it is not that interesting for me, I can feel the HSS (Hurricane Stress Syndrome) arising. After getting hit by three last year, I was hoping to have a year or so of relief. Well, time to drag out the generator and stock away 30+ gallons of gas just in case!
Actually, maybe you should consider doing a vanity thread of chat..to your ping list, asking the troops if they want to keep the logo, for next season.. or alternatively to submit any they might want to offer..
I hear you. Evac for one, and hit by two more. Hard to trust a hurricane to turn on a dime, ya know?
For this entire busy hurricane season, while you live far away from hurricanes in NY, nobody else has mentioned a need to change the hurricane ping logo. Why is this a problem for you today?
If she moves as fast as they're forecasting after she enters the GOM, she's not going to have much time to weaken. If she gets up to Cat 3 or 4 before zeroing in on the peninsula, this could be a very bad weekend.
Maybe after such a busy season, he feels the logo should be retired. ;)
The key will be her strength when she begins the bullet speed. Folks to the south of her eye will need to add her forward speed to the sustained winds for the total wind impact. I just hope I am to the north of that track.
There are six months following hurricane season to chat about ping logos. For now, I have other priorities, including securing property in preparation for this storm.
NautiNurse has been doing yoeman's work on these threads all season. They are her threads. If she likes the logo, then it's her call. Why this bizarre interest in changing the logo, or submitting it for consensus debate? This isn't a democracy.
...guess we'll put up our shutters and stay put, rather than travel to Jacksonville or wherever...
We were suppose to help with a harvest festival this Saturday...(outdoors, of coures)...
..bet it gets rained out!
The way it looks right now, I'm going to be either south of the eye or right under it. Not good. I have a feeling this is going to be a lot worse for Miami than Katrina was.

Saute garlic and onion in oil until tender. Add tomatoes, water, sausage, potatoes, salt and pepper. Cook on low heat until potatoes are almost done. Add squash and cook until tender. Serve with hot Cuban bread and a green salad for a quick supper.
The distance covered from 8 AM Saturday to 8 AM Sunday in NHC's 5-day cone looks to be around 500 miles. That means a forward speed for Wilma of about 20 MPH. Even if she were to weaken to a Cat 1 before landfall, that'll make her feel like a Cat 2 to anyone south of the eye. If she comes in as a Cat 3... shudder.
Well, at least she won't be hanging around for long.
Bastardi is blowing smoke again over on Cavuto.
"Maybe you should have posted your post on one of the Rita threads where FReepers were reporting the damage to their homes and were checking in about where they had evacuated to and the losses they had suffered. I'm sure your making fun and laughing your a$$ off comment would have been greatly appreciated"
"Do you live in a coastal area which could be affected by a hurricane or have relatives or close friends who do?"
My folks-in-law live in Boca Raton, Tampa and Orlando.
I pray for the whole State of Florida when a hurricane approaches!! My folks are kind, patient people who don't complain - they just break out the generator and storm shutters and do all other sensible preparations or they evacuate if need be.
God bless them and all Floridians facing this storm.
