The latest tropical storm (Erika) is on its way and the current heading is towards Florida
If you read the various reports and check the weather forecast there is no inidcation that this will hit Orlando so I really wouldn't get worried.
If you mean by effect trhat it will hit Orlando full on, no, the majority do not. But look at the width of the track and that will be enough to disrupt flights and give quite a bit of rain to orlando.
Also, weather forecasters can get teh track completly wrong as it can move quite a bit from the predicted track
Well, some good news.
As you can see the map updates itself as and when and now its downgrading to a Tropical depression around Monday (the "D" instead of an "S")
So thats better
What are the implications of a depression? Is it just a less severe version of a storm/cyclone?
Still a lot of rain, but winds below 39 MPH, making landings bumpy but doable
Hurricanes don't usually 'die down' unless they hit land, pass through, or the currents take them east back out to sea.

Ok so we go to Florida next September 21st, what happens if our flights were cancelled due to a storm, my travel insurance is provided free with my HSBC plus account, I just wondered if we would lose out on everything?
If we are going to be pedantic, its not a Hurricane, rather a Tropical Storm, which by the forecasters opinion will "die down" to a tropical depression, or downgrade just to be correct.
