You are right on the size, and every thing else you said. it seems to me some people would like to only hear the happy news of the storm... which is, we don't know yet. it's not an exact science. the NAt Hurricaine center, all the weather nit wits on the Tv weatherentertainment channel, whatever... Issac is not making things easy, and very few of these storms are predicable, few are this nuts however... the storm is huge! that 600 miles is just the main body, the feeder bands will go out,, listen, do this . go to one of the sits with a map, and use your pen or fingers and get a good measure of the storm, now, keep that measuement and move it up onto the mainland... it covers from like boston to Jacksonville... it's a big guy...
the planes that went in to night will feed the new and better info into the computers and the give the models more accurate info to work with, 5am advisory should reflect that if you go to a weather underground, or maybe foxnews... I think weather channel's JIm Cantorre is getting better at going his own way and they are letting him more and more... but don't bet on that. Its
a good place to get the general FYI...
keep checking your airlines , they will start changing flights into Orlando soon I'd think. maybe Friday early.
