Yep.. Already got my tracking chart ready and my computer tracking program ready.

My computer program actually has certain cities on the map turn red when a storm gets too close.. even if it's forecast to turn away

I don't have the computer tracking software, but I did buy a cork board and put my map on it with those cool neon green straight pins to track the plot. lol

I have download several hurricane tracking programs and they are all pretty cool and easy to use, but i think I will put a map up on my wall with cork board and use little flags to plot.

Just so my wife can look at it and shake her head.

Actually she will get a chuckle out of it. She affectionately thinks I am nuts.........

Got my ;laminated map clean and ny markers bought! LOL! My hubby shakes his head at me too. Funny though he depends on me to let him know when there is trouble approaching and used to tell people at work (when we worked at the same place) that if they wanted to know whee a storm was and where it was predicted to go to ask me. How funny. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know,

As Isabel was getting closer to FL last season, My wife's boss had me creating model maps from storm trakker and emailing her with every change.
