Amen.

I remember seeing the local forecast before Ivan, showing 100mph winds. You're so use to seeing the daily "SE winds at 10-15mph" and when you see a forecast for 150mph winds...it sends a chill through your body.

I've never seen it call for more then 50mph.

If I saw that, I'd be in my car before the local forecast ended.

[JonathanBelles]

I would chit myself if I saw gusts of 150 mph in my forecast.

[jasons2k]

WOW WOW WOW. Almost freaky how at the very end the voice says "The week ahead"...like it matters.....

[wzrgirl1]

holy crap is that eerie...........

[angelwing]

I got chills when I saw the wind speed, I think my eyes fell out of my head

[skysummit]

It's nuts hearing that CALM voice saying winds gusting to near 150mph.

[loro-rojo]

I know its not funny, but I found it kind of amusing how it had the morning commute forcast. Heck.. if there are gust of over 150 mph, I dont think that many people are going to be commuting.

That calm voice is computer generated.

That reminds me of the night I stayed up and watched Andrew hit Miami. I was at my girlfriends house in Boca Raton. I don't remember where it was forecast to go, but in '92 the error was sufficiently large enough to make me worry. The story was very small, so I stayed up all night and watched the radar on the weather channel. I just watched the bands and eye move over Homestead. The power flickered on and off a few times, but that was the worst of it for us. But I remember being scared watching the storm come my way. For all I knew, it could have wiggled north 50 miles and hit us. I think I went to bed that night around 3. Who knew that radar loops could be so interesting?

La. Coast---Katrina '05. People here, been around the block a time or two with these gulf storms. Don't always leave, some never do. 24 hours or so from landfall--Katrina is a Cat 5 hurricane with max sustained winds of 175 MPH according to official information. That 175 MPH wind got most people's attention. Time to get out of Dodge.

[Swimdude]

That's insane. I don't even know what I'd think if I turned on the weather channel to see that. Lordy.

[wzrgirl1]

I went through it but lived in Broward....only got about 80-90 mph gusts...........scariest night of my life except for Wilma

I use to live of 312 and US1 and really took the full brunt of andrew's 150mph winds.I now close to the NHC.

[Derek Ortt]

I think we had a few extreme numbers during Wilma in the local forecasts

[HeeBGBz]

I was living in Gulfport BK and remember seeing that before cable went out. By that time I had evacuated to Biloxi. It was a scary night and a scarier day.
