I know a hurricane isn't a laughing matter, but I was expecting this to be BOTD.

At least I don't have to stock up on too much gas for this one. Not for $2.62 a gallon.

Only a tropical storm.
I won't even bother to close the front door. When Jeanne came through last year, I slept in my own bed and listened to the house as it withstood sustained winds over 100 MPH. CJ |

Jeanne was a sissy. Andrew was major. Really major! Katrina has potential to gain strength from her 8 mph travel speed and hundreds of miles of really warm water. She'll be a bitch when she hits, but not as bad as Jeanne IMO. I'm not sure i'd like to go thru another Andrew type catastrophe, although now my SHTF prep is solid! I was completely unaware of what a hurricane could do until I got hit by and dealt with the aftermath of Andrew.  HS1 |

that really blows, i wanted to move to florida but CA is just so much nicer, i thought it would be similar to CA but really as far as weather and climate so cal is the nicest place in the USA.

Just moved here a month ago. Looks like this is going to be my first tropical-storm/hurricane since getting here. I'm a little north of West Palm Beach but I'll still get hit it looks like. Should be interesting. Storm shutters were supposed to have been installed a couple of months ago but the company has been dragging their feet. |

Meh. Unless she gets a lot stronger in a hurry, I'm not even going to think twice about this one. Just and inconvenience.

Yeah, we probably won't lose any roofs. But we probably WILL lose power for a day or two and that means no AC and you are protecting your property all the damn time. |

That's almost $500 in gas, assuming they're all close to empty.

1. 22 gallon car - 1/3 tank. 2. 34 gallon diesel truck - Front tank 1/4; Rear tank 1/2. 3. 2 5 gallon gas cans - Empty 4. 30 gallon gas caddy - Empty 5. 12 gallon skiff boat - 8 gallons 6. 28 gallon BW boat - Reading empty; probably about 1/4 tank 7. 45 gallon pontoon boat - 25 gallons. So, I probably have 120 gallons to buy today. At $2.50 that is $300! |

Reminds me of Andrew in 1991. Similiar path across Florida but Andrew was a cat. 4 when it hit Homestead.

I've got a 23'-6" center console with a 120 gal tank feeding a Yamaha 200 HP 2-stroke. I put 102 gal in it last weekend at the marina for a $330 purchase!  You big truck boys wanna talk poor fuel economy? How 'bout <3 mpg at OPTIMUM cruise speed (~28 mph). That's OK, though, 'cause boats are a BLAST!

Here's latest infrared...
 The animated version shows almost no westerly movement for now - just a rather unorganized blob boiling so far. I went out on the balcony and my guess is 10-15 MPH breeze so far up here on Cocoa Beach. Might be too far north here for much more than that. We'll see what the heat today does to this pup .

Just out of curiosity, do the big home centers jack-up the price of plywood when trouble is brewing?

twonami: They could. I bought some propane tanks at the local Home Depot store in Nov 1999 for $27 each. In Feb 2000, they had lowered the price to $24.

At least this one won't be very destructive, as far as winds. Rainfall is the big threat with this one. It may drop a deluge on the area it effects.
I'm kinda hoping the remnants track across KY. We could use the rain here. |

Cat 1 at the most. What you need to worry about is the possible 15 inches of rain if she hangs around long.
