Yeah, its too early to reliably predict when it turns north. But, they all turn north. A Cat5 would effect the whole state no matter where it comes ashore.

Yep Most of them don't look good for FL though.

I dunno man...do you have the option of working remotely? If it was me I might just pack up the laptop and take a mini vacation now to be safe and avoid the mass exodus.

Your in a better spot than me. You wont be affected by the storm surge water. I've got 8.5 feet and then its at my door. But, if it goes through Miami there wont be any significant storm/water surge.

Be safe BRC & DaKC

This is one hell of a tool to track what this thing is doing. Some of those waves are 35+ right now, damn!

There's A LOT more energy to be gained. Suck up more of those feeding NWerly winds and look out.

Looks like another one is queuing up right behind it.

Stay safe Florida guys.

After that last mess, I would be pretty quick to pull the trigger on getting the **** out.

there is also something building right off the coast of mexico

I hope you guys are safe, considering recent event... Sure would be nice if it didn't come in the gulf..........

Praying it just hooks back out to sea.
