They first announced it was postponed. If they were so concerned about playing it, why didn't they play it today?




Are the steelers even IN Florida? That could be why they didn't play the game today...




The Steelers came in yesterday, they figured they would play the game when it made sense. Obviously, the weather is worse in Miami today than it will be tomorrow. Should be beautiful weather by kickoff, actually.




Oh, so it's all good then...gee, I guess I shouldn't worry so much...beautiful clear skies at game time...no one will have a care in the world by 8:30. Yay!!!

Landfall in north Indian River County vs south Indian River County is a difference of less than 30 miles. Big deal if they end up being a little off. This is a hurricane with a 40 mile-wide eye! C'mon folks... Let's watch the nit-picking!




That may be true in the bigger picture but for me it could possibly be the difference between hurricane force or tropical force winds.

Not to be disagree-able, but I really don't come to this board to view NFL schedules. I think we here in Central Florida have a bit more important stuff on our minds right now. Please don't think I'm slamming anyone, it's just that I came online after several hours at work to find out the latest and have just read page after page of discussions on whether football teams are in town and why games are delayed.

As it was getting dark in the back yard, all the trees are still up, we are thinking the canal birm is acting as a windbreak, we'll see what's still there in the morning. Looking out front, where the security light across the street is still on, our Frances debris pile has not moved yet, I expect that to change with the back end of Jeanne. Winds are really kicked up, the wind whistling is giving me David flashbacks. He was a little hurricane then, but I rode him out in a trailer in Sebastian when I was 9. Travelled to a shelter during the eye. This probably colors my opinon on evacuations.

Powers about to go.

recmod : Your right, but some of these folks have been through 3-4 of these storms now and should be able to relax for a moment and that shouldn't cause you any distress. These folks are all professionals and dedicated and will get back to giving you your updates.

Good Point. 30 miles can make a big difference in how the winds hit you!

2000 SitRep Cocoa Beach 1/2 miles from the beach: 40 MPH top winds (for last 3 hours - was 30/35 top speed for 5 hours before). Wind due north. Glass at 997 mb. No rain.

Am collecting date on wireless Davis wx station that I remounted this PM, it having snapped off during Frances. Luv solid-state electronics - 30' fall to ground broke the rain bucket, but otherwise still works.

Power is stable here so far. The trees have hardly any leaves on them, courtesy of Frances, so they're starting out with an aerodynamic advantage this time. The wind hasn't picked up to the "vibrate the house" level yet. Give it a few hours ...

Thank you for the info! House in Satellite Beach just down the road from you. Channel 2 mentioned a possible tornado in Cocoa Beach an hour or so ago. Any sign or news of that?

Imagine what it's like having to read 300 posts in the morning before and sometime during work to make sure something that shouldn't be posted wasn't...I can empathize, especially now.

Things tend to snowball during the stressful times...I couldn't edit them fast enough anyway.

I've tried to throw up as much relevant info as I can, sat & wv loops, if someone needs a storm surge map, or something, I do my best.

When there are 600 people on line or more at one time, stuff that is not relevant is going to get through...

I agree with you about relevance and I hope we all try to keep it strictly on the weather from now on.

Thanks for your understanding.

Angie,
Thanks for the reply. My folks live off of Chickasaw, south of Curry Ford. Would have been interesting to hear from you what is going in that area.

Our big old oaks in the back yard were just starting to get new leaf buds. Will see if they are there in the morning.
