Worst Case Scenario

[Downdraft]

Landfall Saturday in the Fort Pierce area and then tracking up through Florida. Intensity at landfall CAT 4 strength moving slowly up the state with winds once again in the Orlando area over 100 mph. Nothing globally now to change Frances's path which is why I believe the models are in such close agreement even out 5 days. East coast of Florida should begin preparations of a landfalling major hurricane this weekend. The rest of the state north of Fort Pierce and more to the center should also prepare for this large and very dangerous storm. This is the first ime in the years on this board I have posted a public forecast. My confidence level is high and I believe there is a growing consenus that this forecast will prove correct. Preparation time is limited and for those of us that suffered damage from Charley we have little time to mitigate before this next storm's arrival. If anyone sees something out there that would change this hurricane's path I 'd love to hear it. [/u]
