NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ISSUES HURRICANE WARNING FOR THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA

winn peeples · 06-12-2006, 12:02 PM

Me, my boat, and my families beach house are right in the bullseye. Not too waorried about wind as much as I am about high tide. Where my boat is (St Marks, Florida) is only three feet above sea level.

I hope you all (and your homes and boats) fair well!

Thanks for the good news...I'm about 20 miles south of Crystal River watching the river flow out (for now). The next two high tides should be a little testy.
After the last two years thinking about trading the boat for a tractor and moving inland.

I'm glad I moved outta there long ago. '96 to '00 I lived in Naples.

just bought in cape coral back in feb- any reason for concern there ?

Cape Coral should be well south of the storm...you might have a slightly higher than normal high tide, but should be nothing of concern.

the cone keeps creeping north... not good news for my wife's relatives who have a house on ochlockonee bay that they just finished repairing after last year. aargh.

I love how yesterday I was listening to them saying how there was little chance this would become a hurricane because conditions in the gulf were "unfavorable". Said to myself now its a lock this turns into a hurricane.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, where does it say that this is a hurricane? Still a tropical storm with predicted 50 mile an hour winds.

It's 70MPH now

Well that is not good. Still a tropical strom (category 1 is 74mph-95mph), but your right, it is picking up.

Hopefully those in its path took the necessary precautions.

I agree with MI Ben. They can't predict their next bowel movement, much less the storm's power.
