You got that right! By the way. Since hurricanealley decided to turn the screws and make people subscribe just as Frances was coming ashore I went looking for another place to give me advanced maps. In particular I am looking to see the models that the US Weather Service is using to make their forecasts. I found this site and find it useful:

Michael - I sure hope you're planning on leaving for this one. I heard they're already beginning to evac. the Keys.

This one scares me............

everytime they update the track it shifts either left or right...

I'n going to wait a little bit before I start to panic.

Alot of people are already panicing though. Afriend of mine called me from Home Depot and said it was a MADHOUSE!

Carlene,
I am not sure I see any point in leaving. Our fall-back plan is to head to my Sister-in-law's home in Polk County. She has had two hurricane eyes pass over her home in the past month. With the manner Ivan is acting moving north seems pretty futile for me.

I have to say that I have been thinking about leaving Florida for some time as the threat of hurricanes has just been too much for me to deal with on a yearly basis. I finally made the move to start the employment process in Georgia for my teaching certificate this summer. Hurricanes are just one small piece of the reason I am working to leave Florida but I have to say they are a big piece of the pie. After Andrew hit Homestead I always said if I left I wanted to leave for the right reasons...not like white flight. Well, the right reasons have stacked up so much that the things keeping me here are much less than those drawing me away. Still, the task of obtaining a High School Social Studies job is a difficult one and thus I expect to be here for at least the next year or so.
