Hi Alan, I'm in Leesburg, a bit northwest of Orlando. If the projected storm track turns out to be correct, we'll get some pretty high winds, but escape the worst of the storm. Only problem is that the thing is weakening, and as it weakens it spreads out, so with its spreading we're liable to get even more wind and rain. The other problem is that there's a high pressure cell in the Atlantic that, hopefully, will move south and squeeze the storm so that it goes north in the ocean instead of making landfall. At some point farther north it'll catch the jet stream that should help move it out into the ocean again. All of this is guessing -- just like the guessing the global warming people are doing. Only difference is that the weather bureau admits they're guessing. We'll find out over the next two days or so how accurate the guesses are.
