Ophelia Is Now A Hurricane

[Feralpeg]

Here is the latest from the NOAA. Ophelia is expected to move away from land, but then loop back toward Florida. Bring your umbrellas, folks!

Oh no. Everyone pray that this does not turn into another Katrina. I'm worried because I have family and friends in Florida.

Thanks for the update. I am keeping a close eye on the storms since we will be leaving on Sunday.

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

We leave tomorrow ...

 

[Msslaydbug]

Oh no !! It looks like we might be affected - we leave nevxt Thursday !! Crud !

We leave next SAturday. WEather guy on Greta tonight said he thinks it will defiintely spin back and hit the US, but he thinks it'll hit more north....his guess was Savannah, Georgia and Cape Hatteras area. He said the pressure system and conditions are similar to Jean last year, which this is what Jean did.

I'm praying that we will be safe since we leave Friday afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

I will say a prayer for you!!

Have a blast on your first ever trip!!!

at least the showers will keep you cooler and maybe not as much burning sunlight

oh well, at least you will be there!!

VossJemi I hope your right , we are coming to DW on Wednesday morning if the weather is ok ... Maybe it will just go out and miss the land fool them all that would be even better...

one of my sisters is in orlando florida. It isn't expected to really hit them but I wouldn't want it to hit anyone. I'm very nervous.

We're going next Friday and I'm very nervous. We're driving down and I have been planning this trip for almost a year!!! I'm also hoping that it just turns NE and doesn't come back!!! Maybe, it won't even hit land!!!

I'm going to get there somehow!

That's quite a "cone of uncertainty" as to where it might go--
At least the Greta weather guy took a guess--most of 'em look at all the conflicting "models" and shrug their shoulders

Tropical Storm Ophelia is weakening and moving away from the coast of Florida.
