After watching the Models and especially the latest runs of the "spaghetti Models" . I am ready to make my call. I think the peninsula will continue to look better and better in the coming hours if this trend continues. I also think if this trend continues the panhandle will be spared as well. I hope so for their sakes. My call for landfall is SW LA to SE Texas possibly as a Cat4 Hurricane.


That would do a lot of damage :cry:

Between Morgan City and Grand Isle, I am afraid, at this point. But, my gut feeling may change.

If I had to make a call now, it's in Ivan territory unfortunately :( AL-FL panhandle. I think there is a weakness left by Cindy that's currently nudging the storm northwest. But it is still early and things could change. Unfortunately it looks like someone is in for a world of hurt.

why cant these damn things hit during the day or at least at sun rise. Makes for clean up and damage assessment sooooooooo much eaiser.

Living in GB I will be going chain saw hunting this afternoon after work. No trees around my house this time (thanks Ivan) but will need it to get out of the neighborhood....

Pace, FL here(just NE of Pensacola)
I was hoping to not have to post here for at least 20 years after Ivan the Terrible created havoc in the Pensacola area. The Beach area is still in shambles, the I-10 bridge is now a temporary expanded metal thing that I cringe to cross and Blue is still the roof color of many homes and businesses. Now we have Dennis the Mennis to bring the nightmare back in less than 9 months.

At least the trees are thinned out for this one. On second thought that may be worse as they did scrub off some wind speed at ground level.

This one will probably be a direct hit on Pensacola Beach so from Pensacola to Destin will bet hammered with storm surge and major flooding.

Pray for us and the people in London.

Still feeling pretty stongly that it is coming right this way. Ivan was the worse storm Ive ever slept though (sound sleeper sorry lol) But 2 weeks with no pwr sucks!

Well as long as Santa Rosa County doesnt drop the ball to bad again this time. HOPEFULLY they learned from Ivan. (I doubt it though its only been 9 months)

Being in GB my only way off sorta island or into GB after Ivan was hwy 87 and thats a long drive from milton....

wait and see wait and see. This is the part that sucks...... my job is still debating on whether or not to close Sat or not. Not that the people here really need permission not to go to work. But most have to drive across the 3 mile bridge from pcola or the garson point bridge from milton/pace area. Garson point was closed for what ? 2 weeks after Ivan and 3 mile was at least a week.

waiting sucks!

Unofficial - please see NHC for official forecasts:

I am shifting east from my prediction yesterday. My new window is from Grand Isle to Pascagoula. So far, I like what the UKMET is doing with this system.

Still too early to have much confidence in this system. Yes the models are clustered together but there are 2 distinct possibilities with the upper air pattern and I think what the models may be doing now is finding a middle ground.
