Why do you want them? You must not have experienced the one in 1992 bc only a moron would want a hurricane

Last night Euro hits Florida.
Latest GFS hits florida but weak.

Check out the water temps where the path is.

GFS has landfall in Palm Beach. Not as strong as Euro.

Hot and beautiful here today, I'll take pictures tomorrow and upload when I can. Guessing electricity gets knocked out but we'll see. Should I be the internet guy who knows nothing about meteorology but posts like I know what's going on?

Well Bob, it's clear and sunny here today, great beach day! Watch out though, Bob, we have a hurricane coming this way! Back to you, Bob.

Thanks, I am hoping it is strong enough that they(the county) issues a Mandatory evacuation for zone A and B so that we can try out our evacuation pro decals with this weaker system rather than getting caught with our pants down. That's the same reason I want it to be strong enough to cause at least 25% damage to the Pre Andrew code buildings so they get replaced with building built to code. My house is Pre Andrew but they people who built it actually built it OVER code.

Awesome link! Using the current discussion from Hurricane Hunters and Erika's position. LOCATION...16.3N 58.2W Here's a link that shows all historical Tropical systems that were in that area...

Only 1 hit Florida from a System in Erika's current position. Donna, a Cat 5 Hurricane.. Aug - Sept 1960 which affected New England as well.

My home was built in 1951 :P. The thing's a tank though, it made it through Andrew with hardly a scratch.
