And we're hoping TD10(I think that's the number) won't intensify enough to be renamed Hermine. There's a Howard in the pacific just now, too, but I guess they must have a whole 'nother namelist for that area.

Things really get complex with the Pacific names, don't they? Thanks for the info.

The northbound highways are clogged. Expected landfall is Sunday (the 5th.). Then they went on to say that the wind force has decreased slightly. THEN they said that since it will be passing over warmer water, the wind speed might increase. Sheesh--whatever happens (or hopefully, doesn't!), all you folks in FL take care, please. We love you all. Current wind speed is 115 mph and the storm is a hundred miles across.

Lots of folks on the east coast of FL are already without power and here in SW FL we don't really know what to expect--some say it's all missed us, others that it's so big we'll probably get hurricane force winds way over here--I just expect that however hard it blows it'll keep blowing and raining for a day or two. We'll just have to hang in!
