DAVE440 · #1 Postby **DAVE440** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 5:34 pm

My Desktop Wx alert just went off with the following message.

Warning Description: Special Weather Statement

Warning Date: 6:25 PM EDT on September 17, 2005

Warning Summary: ...Interests In South Florida Should Closely Monitor Tropical Wave...

Warning Message:

The surface low pressure system located about 170 miles
east-northeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands has continued to
become better organized today as it moves west-northwestward at 10
mph. This system is forecast to affect South Florida Monday and
Tuesday and there is a chance that it could develop into a
tropical depression or even tropical storm before then. Interests
across South Florida should closely monitor statements issued by
the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service
office in Miami in case this system develops. Stay tuned to your
local media outlet for the latest weather information.

LOCAL METS are saying TD17 will probably move north as maps indicate
but 96L future track and intensity are still uncertain except...Our general area and could be a storm...or just bring us some rain within the next 48 hours and to monitor the news for updates.

Well, it needs to get it's butt into gear and go ahead and do it. No stalling, no lollygagging in the Carrib. I missed the one Dolphins game I had tickets to last year because of Jeanne, and I have tickets to this weekend's game - good seats, too, Row 5 lower level. At least I wised up and got reservations at two hotels - one on the beach and one inland. They cancelled our reservations last year at an oceanfront hotel.

I do not think you have anything to worry about with Tomorrows game....Late Mon/Tues is when we might have to worry.

Oh boy, am I torn. The Gator football game that I have been waiting for all week is about to begin and if I'm smart, I should go get some gas for the generator and car tonight before everyone in S Fl. hears what may be in store for us.

I'm off to the gas station but GO GATORS!!!!

I went to the 'Fins game the day after Jeanne hit here. I wasn't wasting the $70 I had paid for tickets and bus ride and so I went.

I got DRENCHED. Absolutely drenched. Tail of Jeanne gave us one last lash.

But my Steelers won.

(I live in S Florida but am from Pittsburgh originally.)

Tomorrow's game is not an issue - it's in NY

I would think whatever this wave/depression/storm is going to do will be done by next weekend though

As an aside, thank heavens the 'Canes won, and let's go Gators!

Well, you must have tix to the game in New York since that is where the Fins play tomorrow!!
Don't think that Invest 96L has a shot at being there 8-)

My grandmother and I are spending the night here in Fort Myers Beach again tonight.....and were planning to drive across the Everglades and down to Key Largo tomorrow, but the model data and satellite imagery has changed our plans. Instead I'm taking I-75 northward back to Tampa and then I-4 across the peninsula to the
Jacksonville/ St Augustine area.......then northward into SE Georgia or southern South Carolina (Hilton Head Island) on Monday.

I see this system as a potentially serious threat for the Keys and southern peninsula and won't be surprised if it's a significant hurricane at landfall. I don't care to get caught up in the middle of an evacuation......especially considering the age (92) and feeble health of my grandmother.
