Hi Everyone-

Pete mentioned a few online resources for monitoring hurricanes and I wanted to post a few links. I've lived in South Florida and currently in Orlando, so I've gone through my share of storms. Pete was right about WFTV (the ABC affiliate) providing good coverage. I listed the link the for the National Hurricane Center (i.e. NOAA) which is pretty much the authority and the source of info for media outlets. A great feature of the site is the wind speed probability tracker. Remember, don't just follow the projected path. The outer bands of the storm can bring about some terrible and dangerous weather.
