ISABEL

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:41 am

As I wake up this morning, I notice Isabel still a Cat 5, I notice her still moving west at 9-10 mph. and I also notice that the storm still looks like she has Florida in her sites..

The local mets here in Central Florida are beginning to get just a tad bit ancy again regarding Isabel and her progress.

I personally do believe she has Florida on her radar and will come and pay us a visit. As strong as she is, I hope she doesn't.. but it's getting more and more ominous over here..

Isabel is a dangerous hurricane that will come and visit somebody by next week.. The question is.. who?

I was favoring Florida early on.. but I am now starting to think a Carolina hit looks more likely right now.. Though models have Va as a target.. so many tracks. @_@

I think the coast of Georgia to northen South Carolina could be the target.

I will favor Florida till this thing gets north of Florida's latitude cause this thing still looks like it's headed straight for us..

Oh the agony of the days ahead..

If I had to guess right now, I would say South Carolina. But given how far away Isabel currently is, any place from FL up to Hatteras is a possible location for an Isabel visit.

I say after looking at the UKMET that south central Fla. is the place.

I put Florida but I think it may be close. SC-NC I think stands an almost equal chance depending on whether the ridge builds back in our not.... right now it's a flip a coin. Loser gets the storm :-(

I think Florida is JUST about out of the woods...I'm favoring a more NC-VA landfall...I'm going with NC right now! :o Watch out Hatteras!
