Black Panther Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi Jeff, I'm new here. I am going to get a direct hit. Glad I just had accordian shutters installed upstairs and down last week. Looks like a CAT 1-2. And I have my Fantasy football draft Friday night! ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Panther Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 welcome black panther , hope your shutters work. 417165[/snapback] Thanks dude, Meee too! My best friend owns the company that put them in and the code inspector said they did an "overkill" so we are locked down in a fortress.... Latest update: It looks like we are seeing a slow moving storm. (bad, although it went from 8 to 9 mph) The slower it is the more powerful it gets, but right now it's not very organized. But from what I see, it's trying to get organized quickly now and it can sit there off the coast like Jeanne did, but gather strength instead of decreasing strength.... So we could see a CAT 1-2 Hurricane by Friday morning. Right now, at the 8pm advisory, it changed direction and is moving due west now right toward our coast as predicted. My prediction.... we get a strong tropical storm at the minimum up to a cat #2 Hurricane and see 70- 120 mph sustained winds. Not good... but we are hoping for a TS with 65 mph.

Fires Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Good luck to you guys... I'm up in Martin County, so I know how it's probably going to be like down there tomorrow. About the only thing I did was fill up my truck today and a couple of gas cans, and brought in my outdoor stuff. Black Panther, I had my draft lat year the night before Jeanne hit. Maybe you can pre-rank some of the guys you really want.... Hopefully you won't lose power, but then again it is FPL we're talking about Good luck.

nero47 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Your right, but for how long? Jeff 416944[/snapback] our state constitution prevents a state income tax, and can only be changed by general election vote of the citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhonix Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Great.. new charts show it hitting south florida, then taking the long way up north to hit us in the panhandle. As long as there's some football on TV, I guess I'll be ok. And as Ramius' signature always reminds us, Remember not to drown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Panther Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 http://www.wunderground.com/US/Region/US/IRSatellite.html 417700[/snapback] We are now under a Hurricane warning and state of emergency. It shouldn't be much to worry about. Cat 1 maybe. http://weather.sun-sentinel.com/global/Reg...RSatellite.html http://weather.sun-sentinel.com/tropical/t...0512_model.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it picks up speed; the Fla. water table is what, 12 or 18 inches or so below grade? As you know, it's flooding that causes the most damage and far and away the most loss of life. I hope it speeds up and gets on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
