Pensacola preparing for the worst

[dhweather]

That will probably shift west at 11pm IMHO.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the official track call for landfall somewhere from Gulfport to Pascagoula at the 11 pm advisory today.

WISH-CASTER!!@#!@#





You're probably right. They'll likely have it at Ocean Springs or so.

Nuh uh. Fearcaster.

I'm on pins and needles. Yuck.

[dhweather]

It's an uncomfortable feeling, isn't it?


We're over due for a major in the New Orleans "vicinity", and this
one might finally be "it"

[CFL]

MS/AL/FL - none of these options makes me comfortable. I don't think I'll breathe a sigh of relief until it shifts west of New Orleans. Heck - we got more bad weather here today with Cindy hitting Louisiana than we did with a direct hit from Arlene. Being in the right front quadrant of anything is bad news.

Thats disappointing news for me SkySummit. I need to restock some stuff and did not get to town today. Hope there is some stuff left

I was surprised the 5pm track wasn't closer to MS. I'm suspecting if the models don't change it'll be into SE LA in the morning.

Quite possibly the storm is going to go further west then the tracks are showing... which is good news for last years Ivan's hard hit areas. However, have you seen the size of Dennis? Alot of places are going to be affected no matter where it makes landfall..

Yeah, I know. The line is a psychological "safety blanket" type of thing for me--even though I know the cone is the important part.

Too quickly do folks forget that a hurricane is not a spot, but a swath
across a large area.

I hear ya CFL, when I got home from work today my "storm door" was laying on the ground. It had come open somehow and was ripped from the hinges.

No need to prepare so early. Stupid to prepare now. Wait until sunday to prepare I say. Why waist time and money preparing if it doesn't hit you. Again don't prepare so early and waist time and money.

You should spend that money you're saving on a dictionary and a clue. Kiss kiss.

It doesn't take long to evacuate if people who don't need to evacuate stay home.

I could have been more harsh and said that your statement is extremely foolish. So: your statement is extremely foolish.

You want this storm and you know it JK stay safe!!!

[jkt21787]

Bottom Line, Don't put up the shutters, don't go buy all the days' supplies of food and water, and don't pack up your bags in case you are evacuated, but begin preparing that plan to do those things, that way it won't be last minute and panic-induced when the storm a day away.

Have your plan in place and ready to put in action, but don't put into action yet, probably until watches are issued.

You may want to get a head start on buying a few critical supplies before the rush, that may be the smart thing to do. If Dennis misses, you'll have it for the next one.

Everyone in the North Central Gulf should be preparing now.

Yes they should.
