How many hurricanes / tropical storms etc have there been in and around the Florida area this year ?
PS - If it does come near land I hope everyone stays safe
only Dennis has affected us, and now Katrina. Dennis made landfall in the panhandle, so the rest of the state fared well with it.

Those predictions are all over the place on this one. Our local station's weather said the steering currents are so unpredictable at this time of year that they really have no idea what will happen between now and Sunday. They also said there are a couple of others forming behind this one. :hammer:

Looks like Deerfield Beach is getting the direct hit. I'm in Deerfield and right now its looking bad, but not too bad. Went out surfing earlier but they closed the beach a little while ago. We haven't had the worst part of the hit yet and already two of my trees are down and the power is blinking like crazy.

Btw, didn't they say this would be a wet storm and not so windy? Here its been all wind and very little rain.

I also live in Deerfield Beach. Just thought I would post while I still have power (It has already went out twice for a few minutes). Be safe.

PS. I sent you a PM.

Thankfully we haven't lost power yet, however the lights have flickered a few times over the past couple of hours.

The Palm Beach Post said:
Two people died in Broward County from the storm, said county spokeswoman Alinda Montsort. One man in his 20s was killed when a tree fell on his car shortly before 6 p.m. at Stranahan High School, 1800 S.W. Fifth Place.

Minutes later, a pedestrian was struck by a falling tree at Peters Road and 42nd Place in Plantation.

More than 220,600 Broward County homes were without power about 7 p.m. Thursday, Montsort said. Statewide, 412,400 homes lost power.

They are really beginning to think that this is going to be a bad one. It seems to be getting stronger while over land. I really feel for the people in the Keys. Some are thinking this may be a Cat. 4 at the next landfall (where ever that may be). The GOM water is very warm. :eek:

Everyone in the path of the storm are in my thoughts and prayers.
