I felt pretty safe in Florida once all that dry air starting penetrating Isabel. Now just hoping my family in Jacksonville, NC, and Pittsboro, NC escape the worst -- but I fear they won't, given the projected path.

Floridians are not really safe until after the 2004 election is complete :wink: Sorry I couldn't resist. This could be a CAT 5 election storm. Look at the storm track from 2000. :crazyeyes:

I see what you mean by saying Isbael's center has passed 30.0ºN, however sometimes tropical cyclones move southwesterly, so after passing a latitude line of a north/south oriented state such as Florida they can and do sometimes "lose latitude" opposed to "gaining latitude."
