They love to stand where the water breaks over the seawall ...makes it seem dangerous. She is HOT though....latest update shows it getting further West arty:

My guess...
This thing fizzles.
Only getting attention because of the RNC in Tampa. Create drama for the news.

Our local Red Cross is sending people to help the victims in the Tampa area. They are driving a truck filled with water, food, and dry socks for sandals.

Tell them to just send Crocs!

They moved it back to the east a bit now, going between Marathon and Key West. I heard the Keys can expect 15" of rain minimum from this system, starting already....

Dam that's funny. It went through my mind when I heard "Isaac."

As of right now, bullseye for Marathon as cat 1
KW mayor just had a news conference on Duval........one item.........please, no wake in the streets

 

[Bobcat]

Still headed to Marathon...long way to go. Just finished shuttering up a few houses. Just drizzle so far. Smathers beach is calm....most of the bums are still here....that's usually a sign it will miss KW

 

[Ratickle]

Maybe you could wash a few of them away? Would they come ashore in Marathon????

THE PEAK SURGE OCCURS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE...

* SOUTHWEST FLORIDA COAST WITHIN HURRICANE WARNING AREA...5 TO 7 FT

I'm on the bottom........we lost a lot during wilma in 2005 because marathon was 3 ft. under water from the gulf to the atlantic But I'm not going to worry........just thinking of those people in Haiti
And re: the bums in kw........they are on a bus on their way to michigan

 

[Pat D]

too funny....I just noticed the guy on weather channel in Cuba and saw that it's STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE....sucks to be shuttered up

Bums to Michigan is a great Idea....they could be trained as Dentists....what is that....like 6 months of school?:biggrinjester::biggrinjester:
