This one is alot like Floyd - big, dangerous, could run parallel to the coast and cut in anywhere. The predicted landfall yesterday was Amelia Island, ~20 miles from my house, but it shifted a lot. Now the calcs say most likely to hit due east of Lake Okeechobee (Palm Beach) - that's a big difference. Bought ten sheets of plywood Monday night before the rush started, now I need to cut it and install the tapcon mounts. Also need to pack a bugout bag as I don't plan to stick around for a category 4 storm. I may be scarce the next few days.

If it follows it's current projected path, the paths of Frances and Charley will make a big x with the center very near my home.
Crossing my fingers. I am actually very stressed about this, as is everyone here who just got through Charley. Any prayers would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks, y'all.
Prayers and vibes to John_D and all the rocket scientists in your neck of the woods (NASAville/Space Coast). I'm hoping it is a total repeat of Floyd and that it never crashes into our coast. I just bought some skullcap root to boil into tea tonight to keep the anxiety from getting overwhelming.

Hang tough. Hope it blows over and breaks up. If not, batten down the hatches, take cover, and may you and yours be safe and sound.

Hey guys and anyone else that lives down there.....be safe and hopein everything will be ok for you all !!! Would be one scarey storm hittin the coast no doubt. Brad has a trip planned down south to SC leavein Sept 8th....Hunting Island.....got a beach house on the ocean with his mom and sisters and some family. It's onea them old style houses on stilts !!!! Wonder if it will still be there ?? Wonder if they will still be able to get in if the storm hits the coast very bad. I decided not to go....wah.....very depressed about it and missin a vacation. But my idea of a vacation for a week trapped in a cabin on the beach is NOT with my inlaws !! Everyone has to sleep on the floor or cots or couches. All they do is cook big meals and clean......and all of us packed in one truck on the way and back ? Dare I say more...........except............be safe everyone !!!!!! Hurricane-less vibes Pam

Every computer model I know of has a different path plotted for the storm. The only things they agree on is it's current location and that Florida will catch hell.
I had planned on spending the long weekend in Myrtle Beach,SC, we race there Saturday night. Right now, I'm not even making a guess concerning the race. One thing I know for sure is that I am not spending the weekend there.
If I were in Florida right now, I'd be fueling the car and getting out of the state. Frances is one big, powerful bitch.

I just checked my calendar and 'realized' Brad and his merry family of my inlaws are leaveing for SC next Tues. or Wednesday the day the storm is 'predicted' to hit SC.....comeing from Ohio they will probly even have to drive thru the storm at one point. I hope they realize roads may be washed out and power lines across roads and that cabin on the beach mite not even be there ! Or the park open to let vacationers into them without inspections and not be allowed in. There all hell bent for this family vacation......where's Chevy Chase when ya need him......this mite make a good new sequeal to his other Family Vacation movies. Who knows what will happen but I wouldn't be plannin a vacation there before dureing 'or after' next week. Where he's goin is just below Myrtle.......hopein Myrlte stays intack for biketober fest end of Sept. were headin for ! We stay at Surfside. Batten down the hatches Pam

HELP!!!
I think I prefer tornadoes......  . We got a few hours off work this afternoon to try and gets some things ready. I know Jackie's family is down here too.
I guess we'll all be bunkered down at the Residence Inn. Hope they built it to hurricane building codes.
State Farm has chartered a 747 to evacuate all it's employees.......but that doesn't include the independents.
Nothing like having a birthday hurricane bash.....YEE HAW!

Everyone stay safe and check in often if you can.
The latest storm plots and satellite imagry shows this hurrican to be as big as the state of Florida and is already a cat 4. It is also very slow moving. about 15mph. Predicted to move right up the center of the state.

Roxy is in Florida working right now. Her husband is a catastrophic insurance adjuster and is there working the claims from Charley.
Clark has been tracking Frances for several days now (he's a meteorologist) and right now the eye is 30 nm in diameter and hurricane strength winds are extending 80 miles out from center and tropical storm strength winds are extending 185 miles out from center. Sustained winds at 140 miles an hour with gusts to 185 miles an hour.
Right now Clark says for them to go to Atlanta to be safe 
I hope everyone on the east coast of Florida is heeding the evacuation notices and that everyone who doesn't have to evacuate is taking the proper precautions. Be safe Florida and all our CH family there!
