Let's Kick This Freakin' Pig!! Sheez!!

I feel like there is a 10,000 lb wrecking ball on a 40-lb-test line hanging above my head. I've felt this way since around last Monday. I am very worried about my already-Charley-damaged home. I am SICK TO DEATH of Freakin' Frances! As Mills Lane said so many times: "Let's get it on!"

At the rate this dadgum thing is moving (or not moving) I can't see it out in the GOM at 2:00am Sunday. It'll still be just inside the east coast of FL by then. What has them thinking that it will traverse the state in 24 hours? Is it somehow going to speed up once it hits land?

Just get it over with already!!!!!!!!

I'm kinda interested to know what atmospheric conditions are keeping it at this pace?????

I thought they said landfall was 2:20 am Sunday. How could it possibly be in the gulf and have east coast landfall at the same time? maybe they meant 2:20 am Monday.

I mean, at least Charley came in, hit us hard, and quickly kissed us goodbye. This thing is like a 13 year old boy waiting til the end of the dance to make a move on a 13 year old girl.

but this will last much longer than that.....

I'm a newbie but the local met said there is nothing to drive it so its just going to meander. nflnut I'm sorry about your home. I feel the anxiety also. I think tomorrow morning I will watch my Superbowl tape of the Bucs, it always makes me feel good.

A stalled low cat hurricane can be just as worse as a cat 4 or 5.

Actually... it's into the Gulf at 2am Monday. The 2pm Sunday position is a little east of Tampa over Polk County, so they move it out into the GOM sometime around Sunset. Only 16 hours over land(assuming she doesn't stall again off the coast).

That was a typo. I meant to say 200am MONDAY. That was another WISHcast.

I hope to God that this hurricane does not stall over land.

Because if it does, it'll drop flooding rain like Mitch in 1998 over Central America.

I'm sitting here in central Texas (visiting relatives) and it's scaring the bejesus outa me! My grandmother lives over in North Fort Myers! I don't want her to have to deal with FEET of torrential rain!!

It appears to be picking up speed to the west, and maybe even a little south of west.
