I did some consulting work at Homestead AFB, a year or so after it got destroyed by the hurricane. We had a briefing in the early morning (7 am or so) and the guy said to be back inside or off the facility as a thunderstorm would be hitting at 4:38 pm. (Or whatever - but down to the minute).

I said “are you sure it’s not 4:39” with a chuckle. He stared/scowled at me and said “4:38”.

I seem to recall that he was off by a minute or so when it did hit (and it hit hard!), but still wonder how he was able to call it that close from 10 hours earlier?

The weather looks a little bit better maybe?

Announcer on HD channel just said if it doesn't go tonight, it'll go tommorow night, but a little earlier.

Just announced....

IF there’s no lightning activity after :21 past the hour, and not electrical problems past :28 after the hour, we’ll clear lightning and field mill restrictions. Also a possibility we’ll also clear anvil restrictions.
