    I just changed insurance Co. effective yesterday! I wasn't happy with the previous carriers named storm coverage. Hopefully none of us will have to test the quality of our coverage.

    Margin of error at 5 days is 300 NM or more..

    from the 5am NHC package: "THERE IS CONSIDERABLE
    UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHERE EMILY WILL BE AND HOW STRONG IT WILL BE IN
    3 TO 5 DAYS."

    not loosing sleep over this one, at least for another 2 days.

    Vero Beach seems to be a hurricane magnet since Ive been here we've had direct hits from David,Erin, Irene,Frances,Jeene,and Wilma. I dont take any chances any more. 8AM track shows it as a TS running up the coast.

    Still too early to tell where she'll go and at what intensity. Definitely not too early to make some preliminary preparations. I just called the guys who look after mine when I'm not there to make sure they can take care of her if things get serious. I'd rather be ready and end up with no storm than say "didn't think she would turn this way and pick up strength." I'm not as seasoned at this as you Fl guys but we do prepare for some nasty storms up here too. A Nor'easter can really pack a punch.

    from the 11am NHC advisory:

    A DEEP MID-LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO
    DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHIFTS
    EASTWARD. THIS PATTERN SHOULD FORCE EMILY ON A MORE WEST-NORTHWEST
    TO NORTHWESTERLY TRACK OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS WITH A TURN TO THE
    NORTH THEREAFTER. MOST OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE AGREES WITH THIS
    GENERAL SCENARIO. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE
    PREVIOUS ONE AND CLOSE TO THE MODEL CONSENSUS.

    good chances it will recurve

    If anything its going to be a east coast event the 11am track shows it going over GBI Sat as a TS. Actualy we could use the rain. These close calls are good motivators to "get your act together" for the "big one"

    Hopefully Fl will get a nice steady soaking. The entire state could use it. Could end up getting nothing like TX did with Don.
