woo hoo... http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Here we go again...a real beast of a storm looks likely...TD'24 is now building near Jamaica. One of the main models (GFDL) suggest it'll bomb to 898mb - a cat'5, and whack Florida. Yes, a cat'5 slamming Florida from the south. Its gonna be a very busy week for those along the gulf coast. --- *Wilma - yet to be named, is the last name available this season. If anything else forms, they will use Greek alphabet names - Alpha, Beta, Gamma etc Calrissian: eyes sharp |

Hmm...Wilma be a'spinning up nicely now. Even the official hurricane people are predicting Cat'3. Personally, I - along with a fair few other weather-heads are all touting Cat'5 - at some stage, with a Tampa Bay, Florida landfall. It gonna be one nasty little beast of a storm. T-6 or 7 days until US landfall. Yes, there is a long way to go yet. Calrissian: eyes on Wild Wilma |

4pm UK, Wilma now a cane'. Tampa Bay appears the most likely hit, being a bay..could be a lot of water into the city. *in any case, by this weekend the online TV stations in Florida will be Grade'A must-see viewing. more on that later. Cal: lurking |

Are they any better prepared than they were for New Orleans? Or is it not of the same magnitude? |

ahhh. finally after looking around, found the link which sums up 'worse case'.... http://tbo.com/hurricane2005/worstcase/worstcase.html --- A great link, all 3 parts are worth watching. Tampa Bay is the most important place in West Florida, and is also the most vulnerable. Currently, many of the predicted tracks take the storm at/near Tampa. This gonna be nasty. Calrissian: Cat'6 |

now the strongest Atlantic storm EVER recorded. --- In just 7 hours the Hurricane collapsed/bombed from cat'1 to 5...and now has a lower air pressure than Katrina or Rita ever did. For non weather-heads, maybe it might seem like just another storm. No. Its not just a storm, its off the scale...and is making Katrina look relatively weak (at least in terms of historic record breaking) Its historic, and is looking like the biggest beast of a storm EVER. Floridians should GET OUT NOW ! Cal: cat'6 |

wooooooooooo hooo ! Live hurricane coverage has finally begun* *they sadly don't have live TV stations on all year around, since it cost so much money to stream online. primary link for feeds... http://www.weatherserver.net/hurricanecenter/ http://www.cbs4.com remains the best station. 'Brian Norcross' is a real dude of a forecaster, and this guy you'll see so much of this next 5 days or so. Meanwhile, Wilma is heading for Cancun, and then is forecast to make a hard right and then hit southern Florida sometime on Sunday. Calrissian: live storm streaming...its almost as good as chocolate ** this is working best right now... 200k stream - CBS4 http://dayport.wm.llnwd.net/dayport_0025_live |

Thanks Cal, looks like Wilma may decrease a bit but it will still give the tourists a few memories to bring back

*please note... http://dayport.wm.llnwd.net/dayport_0025_live is the best feed right now, and looks to be 24/7 too...but... picture goes blank during commercial breaks, and stream may need to be restarted periodically. Its a good channel though. **also, because its a raw feed, sometimes you get to hear weird stuff from the TV crew during the breaks - stuff they'd rather you didn't, although they are usually very polite

Coverage isn't too bad on Fox News. Regular updates and reports. Will check the CBS NY News feeds on 16E Satellite just in case. |
