Your assumption is incorrect, sir. We all know what happens when one assumes. Myself and my fellow cms are paying VERY close attention to this storm. We all feel that is is something worth paying attention to. We are all afraid. Pardon us for having a thirst for information. If you aren't interested, please move along. There is nothing for you to see here. Thank you.

ok this hurricane can and will cost some people their jobs, their homes, their lives! its not something to play with. you shouldn't panic over it but you should be informed. I'd rather be informed about it 2 weeks or so before hand and updated constantly then find out about it when its right over my head. I don't live in Florida but my favorite place is there and I don't want to see it destroyed. if you don't like the posts or the threads about the hurricane, then don't read them. If they tick you off that bad, why read them and post on them? Don't complain about something that could save other peoples lives. you may not care about anything but others do. don't like it then get out. I don't know if the fact that you are 19 and male makes you think that you are greater than others and shouldn't care about anything (which you obviously don't show, except your love for whoevers pizza in Georgia), but others do care about disney and florida and other peoples lives so if you don't like it stay out of the hurricane threads. just my opinion.

I don't know if anyone posted this because I don't have time to read through 5 pages, but Ivan is back at caregory 4 and is showing signs of more weakening. It may be downgraded to a 3 by the time it comes to my neck of the woods. Right now the projected path shows after hitting the Keys, Ivan is going to come up in the Gulf and just barely skim by the west coastline (but th eye would still be in the water) before hitting the panhandle. Remember that path is NOT set in stone and can change at any time between now and zero hour. The next advisory from the hurrican center comes out at 11pm Eastern so we'll see what that says. Alot of what this storm will do depends ont he front that's pushing through the Gulf right now. I just hope it'll go more west and for the most part leave Florida alone. Alot of hurricanes that come into the Gulf though end up hitting the panhandle or Missippi/Louisana/Texas.
I'm about as prepared as I'm going to be. I'm just gonna hope for the best and expect the worst. One way or another this thing is going to blow by and I want it done and over with as quickly and safely as possible.

Yeah I just saw it strenghtned again after weakening a bit earlier today. Hope it weakens againt hough. 155mph winds scare the bejebus out of me. But luckily it still looks like it's going to skirt by most of the west coast of FL before hitting the panhandle. We'll get some wind/rain but not as bad as what will be closer to the eye, which should still be in the Gulf if current track path holds. Just keeping wishing it'll maybe go more west. Luckily I'm far enough inland I'm not in a flood zone so I should be okay. Just worried about my friend in Dunedin. He's not in a flood zone but he's a hell of alot closer to the water than I am!
