Kevin you think we'll see 50 MPH winds here in the Cape? Also, what do you think the chances are of it getting into the GOM?

Cape, I would expect that you will see 50 mph winds there. If you mean sustained, maybe. Gusts... easily a YES. The chance of Jeanne going into the gulf are unlikely... but it could happen.

Kevin, I'm in Charlotte County border Desoto. We've been getting some pretty good wind gusts for the past hour here.

I wish I had not read your last post - just kidding. My house got lots of damage from Charley. Hope it survives the night :(

Kevin:

It appears that you have become the board "darling" of those of us from SW FL but watch the cracks about the "old people getting headaches"!!!!
:D

PS You are doing an amazing job of analyzing this storm. Naples Daily News headlines after the storm: Home town Boy Makes Us Proud!

Here's what we've been experiencing along the N.Naples coast:

9/25/04
10:08:19 PM CURRENT MIN/MAX RATE
Temperature (ºF) 77.5 73.7 / 84.6 0.2
Humidity (%) 84.2 62.8 / 90.5 0.4
Wind (mph) NW 36.8 NW 43.0
Daily Rain (") 0.06 0.16 "/h at 16:05 0.00
Pressure ("Hg) 29.56 29.56 / 29.87 0.02

Pressure has done a huge drop in the last couple of hours after Wunderground reported it was rising! No wonder we old folks have a headache. :wink:

Good job Kevin; I like seeing a 15 year old with a lot of sense (y'all are the future) and keeping your area informed. I think you'll be fine- we have yet to even have our power flicker in SW Dade- less wind than with Frances which surprised me a lot since I thought Jeanne would be worse based on how she looked on satelitte. You just never can tell with these storms...

The gusts are kicking here, but this isn't really a SW Florida-centered event. Maybe Port Charlotte.


Looks like Tampa could get more of a shake from this one...

Latest baro reading is 29.42 and still falling
Winds are now between 20-25 MPH sustained with gusts to 40 MPH...
Jeanne appears to still be tracking due west... staying up until I know for sure where she's going.
