Well I guess us Pcola folks need to start gettin ready.

Well, it IS the only area of the Gulf Coast that hasn't been smashed to bits yet this year. I mean between Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Emily...and Stan, and Charley and Ivan...Wilma doesn't have much of a choice!

Mother nature doesn't care. Lightning does strike twice, and it often does.

You know I wondering the same thing being in Alabama. I don't like the looks of this thing and how it is tracking. I know a lot can happen and a lot can change. I guess it is wait, see, watch, and be prepare no matter where we are.

You folks in Alabama and the Panhandle are quite safe. Even if this somehow miraculously comes up that way it will come in as a TS or a Cat 1. Cold water, dry air, fall like pattern.

scorpion said were safe guys....guess we dont need to worry about it

scorpion, exactly. Too fall-like in the northern GOM. Mother nature wants to remove the heat in the Eastern GOM which she has yet to do this season. FL still in a tropical regime.

It is quite warm here for the middle of October. It feels like September during the day. I don't think fall has found her way south yet.

I'm guessing that 81 degree SSTs near the panhandle is now considered "cold"

If mother nature wants to remove heat from the hottest place in the ocean, then the storm is going to go find the hottest part (caribbean) and suck its heat out. This magnetism toward warmest water should cause this storm to go southwest according to the bocachris theory

it's starting to look more and more like a North Central
GOM'er storm

[floridahurricaneguy]

Stop saying that everyone wilma. Wilma is coming for west florida. Ok maybe I might wishcast. I dont want distruction but want a weak cat 1 or TS i can research and video type. My home in MS went through everythign, dad was there but I wasnt of course. lol No way do I want destruction but I want something gentle. lol

Still way too soon to get a handle on this system.

Anyone from MS to FL should monitor IMHO, but odds are on the elbow of FL and points south IF this storm holds together.
