A Tropical Storm (Chris) Warning for Florida!
 

Tropical storm watch for Florida.

Tropical Storm Chris may hit Florida late Sunday.

Are there any people living in Florida who can give more accurate details than what we can read at this site?

AS TAKEN FROM THE LINK BELOW "A Tropical Storm Warning Remains In Effect For Puerto Rico And The U.S. And British Virgin Islands"

There is no warning for Florida. Warnings are made when there will be hurricane force winds with in 24 hours. If it hits florida a warning would not go out till Sat. depending on when they anticipate the landfall, which is looking like Sunday after noon right now.

storm alert

Ok thanks mate. I have been through 2 Cyclones in Northern Australia So I will still go to the Internext show. It looks like it may fizzle out anyway and only be a big storm. :thumbsup

I hope it dies out but i kinda want to get them done with already. Some news stations say it might die and some say it will be a catagory 1. I think this is mother earth just warming up.

Then again... they said Katrina was not going to do shit yet it killed about 10 people in miami as a catagory 1 and it killed new orleans

Bump for the early morning crew

Tropical storm Chris Projected Path

OH Shit and why live in a state that gets destroyed every year? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I see hurrican warnings on tv, from they who love to monger fear...

But when you read the alerts, print or web, and go to the stormwatch and other types of sites, they're considerably less panicked about it.

It'll hit cuba and either spin into a Category one in the Gulf.

According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, "it could become a hurricane later on Wednesday as it traveled on a path that could take it into the Gulf of Mexico, where it could damage U.S. oil and gas facilities."

We might get some rain...

Fucking kill joy:( If The plane takes off I'm on it:pimp

Tropical Storm Chris threatens Florida Keys
By KEN KAYE
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
8/2/2006

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It must be August, because South Florida is in the cone of uncertainty.
Bulking up quickly, Tropical Storm Chris emerged in the western Atlantic on Tuesday, threatening to intensify into a minimal hurricane and take aim for the Florida Straits by Sunday.

For now, Cuba and the Florida Keys appear to be under the gun, as the forecast track takes the system just north of Havana. Several models point the storm across Cuba or south of it.

However, even on its projected path, it could graze South Florida and bring stormy conditions. There also is the possibility it could veer in the direction of South Florida. If so, the region could start feeling it on Saturday, forecasters said.

"We have shifted the track farther to the south, but we can't rule out South Florida this early in the game," said meteorologist Jennifer Pralgo of the National Hurricane Center. "So people really need to monitor this thing."

But hey I'm still going :thumbsup

Florida is a big state.. the entire state doesn't get hit with every hurricane.. Hell when Andrew hit and took out Miami/ Homestead.. It was a nice sunny day in central Florida and you would have never had a clue anything was hitting the state.

I've lived here all my life and I can count the number of hurricanes that have caused my power to go out on 1 hand ok maybe a finger or two of the other hand. But for the amount of time I've lived here I haven't had to deal with very many bad ones.

Now it just so happens 3 were in the last two years the last one before that that was bad enough to turn off my power was Hurricane David in 1979. So we don't get destroyed every year however they do seem to be more active now.

oh BTW just for the fear mongers here are some hurricane pics.. I think this thread needs a few.. :winkwink:

yeah it looks more and more now as it will be a close call

too soon to tell but they are now saying on the radio here to prepare for a weekend landfall

where that exact landfall will be is debatable

If your comming to internext bring canned food and water

:1orglaugh

Im going hurricane shopping tonight just to be on the safe side

Wilma hit us last year and we were fucked for almost a week down herew with no gas power food water ect ect

was a nightmare

HERES A FUCKING HINT, people in florida no longer care about hurricanes... Dont ask us, honestly people in Michigan know more about the Florida storms then accual floridians do.

We know their coming we have gotten so used to them.

Its just going to be a nice rainstorm to sleep thru and recover from Internext... :pimp

A little rain never hurt nobody...

Wow big deal..You know where I am going to be on Saturday??

This image is going to update day by day. This is the page its from.

The Hurricane won't be a hurricane for a while yet, its still a tropical storm. And its looking like its going to veer into the Gulf and just give us a little rain... Keep track of it via the image (if they allow the hotlink long enough) or just check that page.

So far it's looking like a pretty fairweather tradeshow to me - even the yacht cruise on Saturday isn't threatened by this projection ...

(knockin' wood, chanting Damballah)...

Damn, I didn't thing about that - the storm/hurricane being so close by Sat ... we could have a wavy ride, so be warned those who get sea-sick easily!

:repuke

the current track has it owning cuba and then curving into the gulf which is typical for this time of year. lots of storms start out in that vicinity and end up bashing the keys and going into the gulf side of florida like a nasty curveball.
