Thanks for the good wishes ZDL. I am in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area and it seems to be passing us by. We are getting a lot of rain from the outer bands, but very little wind. :D Good luck to everyone else!

Thanks for the good wishes. Tampa Bay area here. Not expecting much. Probably the biggest head ache is that the kids started school today and now have tomorrow off. Plus my in-laws will be here if they have to evac out of their MH. Thank God I have plenty of ammo.

Magz and avmech, I guess you guys are getting lots of rain now. It has passed my area, just getting light showers and some sun at this point. Dodged another bullet!

we got most of the rain overnight, tornado touched down south of here. Some rain, mostly wind late morning, now mainly overcast, some wind. Had no problems my way. Good luck to those that still have to deal with it

My plan is the same every season. When the Cat 3's come over, I duck. Anything less I just ice down the beer, test the generator, and check the chain saw.

We barely got a drop in the Tampa Bay area. I flew by it a couple of times today, too bad I forgot my camera...

don't trust CNN or any other news source for hurricane info.

Go to the National Hurricane Center web site for real info. The site is nhc.noaa.gov and just scroll down for location and probability charts.

I use www.crownweather.com/tropical.html lots more info than NHC (it does have the NHC info too)
