The Doctor Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 For all of us with loved ones in the hot zone... This is hotlinked from NOAA, so it should be the latest data available. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
hurricane Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 At 11 a.m. ET, a hurricane watch was issued for all of the Florida Keys and Florida Bay. In addition, a tropical storm watch was issued for all of the southern Florida Peninsula from Golden Beach southward on the east coast and south of Bonita Beach on the west coast. To prepare for the hurricane's arrival in the United States, a mandatory evacuation was ordered Thursday for all nonresidents in the Florida Keys, said Monroe County, Florida, Senior Emergency Manager Billy Wagner. Deja vu! Sounds like last year... a shame for anyone heading to Key West for the weekend or for their vacation. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Bilgemunky Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Yup, we got gyped out of our trip along the panhandle last year for exactly this reason. And there this very weekend we were going to try again, this time starting in the panhandle and toodling down along the gulf coast to the keys. Grumble. Last year we ended up veering west to hit New Orleans and then Galveston instead to get our beach fix. Looks like we might need to do that again. Here's to last minute changes in plans I AM BILGEMUNKY
capnwilliam Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 That's mighty aggravatin', Bilgemunkey. Very upsetting to set your sights on something and the weather wrecks it all, just when yer planning on doing it. This Dennis looks to be a bugger, fer sure. It's goin' to hit some of the folks on our list; let's hope it weakens considerably before it makes U.S. landfall. :) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

TortugaWench Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 wow... that map predicts for it to hit my state 3 hours west o' here. We could use the rain- hopefully it will weaken by the time it hits land enough to be just strong winds and rain and nothing too malicious.
capnwilliam Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 The weather forecasters keep shifting predictions as to whether it's going to hit (hardest) closer to Pensacola, FL, or Biloxi, MS. Being here in New Orleans, I am usually annoyed with weather forecasting of incoming hurricanes, and this time is no exception: but for opposite reasons. Usually they're panicking people with an end-of-the-world scenario about a Category 5 heading straight up the Mississippi River and dumping 5 feet of water throughout the metro area. They end up scaring people into leaving their relatively secure homes, and sitting out the hurricane in their cars on the interstate because they can't all depart the city in time. This time, they've got the danger already passed, without any damage being done in New Orleans. Only problem is: the hurricane hasn't even made landfall! "Weathermen is all swabs" Capt.

Jonathan Hawks Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 The Bloody Bugger e'n played havoc wit us up er'e in Wisconsin wit buckets o rain t'other night. Shoots anything that moves!!
capnwilliam Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Well, for once the weather swabs were correct here in New Orleans: we escaped unscathed. Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Captain Jacob Badger Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Symp's fer ye all.......just a gale o' two we gets here.......hardly worth prayin' over............chin up peeps Yes, it be pointy…..and ye be at the wrong side o’ it.
