berrywoman Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 from what im hearing and seeing i dont think it'll go above a category 2, its starting to move fast now. and Camille sorry about my last comment. not trying to sound smug, but my family got lucky, were only gonna get tropical storm force winds if it follows the path. im thinking of taking a walk during it, its quite fun Camille, sorry about it hitting by your family, i'll pray for them. thanks Nick.. :embarrased: latest reports show the storm is now moving at 15mph and wind speeds have picked up 10 110mph. 111mph is a cat.3 storm.. so I don't really see what the difference is.. whats 1 mph.!! I think it may go up to a 3.. but all we can do is pray. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrywoman Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I don't know if many of you can see this.. you may need a Java Applet to view... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-ir4-loop.html quite scary..... the eye of the storm, according to my calculations.. looks like it may miss Key West by what appears on the map, as inches.. possible landfall in the westwern Everglades.. which means Kendall, South Miami, Cutler Ridge could be hit with the eye. My family and friends live in Kendall, its my second home. :embarrased: the good news (if there is any) is that it has picked up movement speed.. so that means it'll be quick.. but, the damage.. that remains to be seen.

colduser Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Camille, I am glad that your family down in Kendall came out allright. The storm down there was amazingly intense. I live in Saint Pete and we still had Tropical Storm Force winds but the damage down in South Florida is so large in its scope. I am glad that most people came through the storm ok. It is time for this hurricane season to end. Zu and Andrea I hope your friends are ok down in the Yucatan. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some homes aren't expected to get power for another 2 weeks :( yes they did... actually I think they got it back on Thursday.... ;) I'm surprised! During Andrew, it took us about the same amount of time... 2-3 days I believe... the phone came back later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
