August 10, 200421 yr Author is this a bad thing? 504663[/snapback] They think it could become a Hurricane by the time it reaches Cuba and hit or skim the Western Coast of Florida and dump lots of rain and winds onto South Florida and Tampa Bay as well as Central Florida.
August 10, 200421 yr Sucks to be in Jamaica now, but anyways hopefully the storm won't be all that bad

August 10, 200421 yr http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ 504662[/snapback] The latest forecast track took a big jump to the right. Good chance the next advisory will move it further to the right. All of the Florida peninsula should keep an eye on it.

August 11, 200421 yr Looks like the projected forecast is moving towards to east. Hopefully if it plans on hitting us it does it sometime during the week so I can at least miss some school out of it...
August 11, 200421 yr ^^^ Gay if it hits on Friday the last weekend before school starts. 505556[/snapback] School starts tomarrow in palm beach county. If the forecast holds up it looks like we will get 2 days off. Sucks for you...
August 12, 200421 yr Charley should've been named Clyde instead so it would be Bonnie & Clyde. 505560[/snapback] XD!!! Seriously though, looks like Florida is about to get PWNED.
August 12, 200421 yr Author *Gets ready for storm* I hope it doesn't become a Cat 2, if it does I have to leave home. Probably end up in Miami for the weekend if it grows.
August 12, 200421 yr they said IF the storm slows down faster than expected it will make a hard turn towards SE florida. but its a big IF. the 11pm advisroy will be very important.
August 12, 200421 yr Isn't 24 mph movement pretty fast for a tropical system? 505522[/snapback] yeah it is VERY fast for a tropical system in the caribbean. that's why the keys only have until thursdy night before they get some bad squalls. a usual system goes probably about half as fast as it is going.
August 12, 200421 yr I don't believe it will hit SO. Florida directly, but by hitting Central Florida, South will be drenched. There is the possibility that by passing through Cuba, it weakens tremendously and will not have the time from Cuba to Florida to strengthen enough to be a big Hurricanes when it reaches. Stay tuned.....
August 12, 200421 yr Seriously though, looks like Florida is about to get PWNED. 506596[/snapback] i think PWNED is a gross overstatement considering it'll be cuba's sloppy seconds with relatively low-speed winds if it hits miami. the only thing that might get PWNED are my mom's little pepper plants.

August 12, 200421 yr La patria is gonna take one for the good guys and blast this storm back to where it came from, I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped back to a Tropical Storm when it finished crossing through the mountains. And this is a p***y storm anyways.
