If Irene delays her turn north by 12 or 18 hours there are gonna be alot of angry people from Florida on north. I think people rely too much on the models, especialy with a storm of this size and strength. If the models are within a couple hundred miles of your location, 2 days out, I would be very vigilant in my monitoring.
Very true. I’ve awakened to the sounds of hammers when the night before the storm was supposed to go “right on by”.
As Momma used to say, hurricane season begins every year on June 1st, there is no reason to not be ready.
Florida is not preparing (from my limited observation) because we are supposedly out of the cone....
..but I just have a bad feeling about this one....(not scientific I know!)
My dad's nursing home has stopped worrying....no evacuation plans....and they can only handle a level 1 hurricane.
I hope these forecasters are as sure as they seem to be.
Lives are counting on it.
Amen! Yesterday one of the Jacksonville FL stations asked the question “When you will you feel safe that irene won’t hit here?”
... when it has passed us
