Less threat to south Florida? Or Not?

#1 Postby Deenac813 » Fri Sep 03, 2004 6:42 am

Ok, I am a little confused here. It seems to me that there is a less of a threat to south florida now. Is that correct? What are the chances of this thing going due west towards us? (by all means this does not mean that I am not prepared, it is just a question)

There is a little less threat to extreme southern Florida. It looks like it will strike somewhere between WPB and Melbourne.

Frances is drifting west or west northwest. Miami is still in the cone of error.

This is somewhat off-topic, but I have to say it. Every time I see "cone of error," my eyes seem to make the 'f' in "of" into a 't' on "error." I always read it as "cone of terror" before I catch myself.

Sorry... carry on.

You are so right. For all of us in the "cone of terror" that could not be more true!

South Florida is starting to look a little better. The Hurricane is on an even plane same as the upper keys, somewhere between Marathon and Largo. The more northerly component, the better you should feel in south Fl. It would take a hard west bend to hit Miami area. It could still happen so keep your guard up. But it does look like more up the coast is the bigger threat now.

I live in WPB, and I consider that South Florida. I don't think I'll breathe easily unless I see 28N before 80W. But I know what you mean.
