That is exactly what I was afraid of.

And it also shows Kissimmee as being in the upper right-hand quadrant of the storm - a bad place to be.

I sure with this thing would speed up. They just said on the local news that it was going to take 24 hours to cross the state.

but then again , either are the experts!i mean really, if i screwed up on my job as much as they did i'd be looking for work!anyway,one thing i do remember is that when it hits land, they say it(hurricanes in general) vere(sp?) north which puts it more than just on the perimeter for orlando.yikes!!!!the way i see it , orlando looks to be smack-dab in the path.please be careful down there!somewhere, somone , said it would take 24 hrs to pass over fla.to me that seems like a long time-maybe it'll be weaker than they initially said.good luck, people.

Watching the 11 O Clock news they said this one is 2 times larger than Charley was and will make landfall tomorrow night or Saturday morning. The other thing that stuck out in my mind was when they said it was going to cause damage it was going to inflict serious damage across much of the state now that to me says very bad. Hope everyone can weather this one and stays safe good luck to those that are there and those that live there.

Last report I heard was that the winds are slowing and were 115mph. While I wouldn't want to be anywhere near 115mph winds, it has got to be better than 155mph winds. Let's hope it continues to weaken.

 

[rocketriter]

Chuck is right. They're currently predicting 115 mph winds through Vero, and then 65-85 mph winds through Orlando. I don't know how Vero will hold up (my guess is that the DVC buildings will stand up perfectly well), but WDW shouldn't experience anything worse than Charlie, and probably less.

 

[kathleena]

I think that 115 is still a Cat 3. Isn't Orlando closer to the east coast than the West? And Charley had gone from a 4 down to a 1 by the time it reached Orlando. And it was smaller in size than Frances.

So who knows what Frances will be when it gets all in there.

I saw on the weather last night that there was a trough of a low pressure something-or-other around the FL coast and they said if it stayed there then Frances would weaken today. Looks like that is exactly what happened.

Although weather predictions are imperfect, they are still all we have and I give great kudos to all of them in the industry for doing what they can do. I certainly can't fault them for a hurricane the force for Charley not doing exactly what they thought it would do. THis is far better than not having any warning at all like it was 60 years ago!

Sorry about Vero MG - I posted this right before I saw your thread about Vero. Was it you I remember posting about getting a GV there some time ago and being so excited about it..............
