did anyone see the fox weather guy talking about the low off LA that was building south but not east and might push the storm harder or faster to shore some time tomorrow? didn't pinpoint a location just said it could really cause more surge.

weather channel, but they didn't say it was going west now but that the convection when it swings back around could pull it a little west.

Jim Cantore just brought up a really good point.
As many found out during the 2004 season.
They stayed behind, and when it got really bad they called 911.
Most, if not all, Emergency Service Agencies-Fire, Police, Ambulance, Sherriff; Will Not come out after the winds reach 45 mph.
It is far too dangerous for them to come out and try and rescue you.
If someone has asked you to leave. Be it family, friends or authorities.
Please get out now while there is still time.
Actually my brother who is with the Sheriff's Dept was out in until the winds got around 60mph. Things got pretty hairy before they told everyone to come in. But yes there was a point beyond which they could not go out to rescue anyone.

Checking the WV loop, is pushing that back westward. 's outflow is now the dominate feature in the gulf.

According to CNN they said the 11pm track puts landfall somewhere near Gulf Shores, Alabama. They had Gov Riley on earlier and he said that the window of evacuation is gonna close in a couple of hours and that 70-80mph sustained winds will go as far north tomorrow as Birmingham

We had several strong bands come through Miami over the last 36 hours. Although there were strong winds and heavy rain, I never heard any thunder. We had 100,000+ without power and lots of trees down, still no lightening that I saw.
In fact with comments made earlier today about how the weather wasn't any different than the average afternoon thunderstorm and travelers should have no problems. I didn't want to get into that negative discussion, but that is totally NOT the case. The weather we have been seeing is NOTHING like the regular thunderstorms we get. The winds are much higher and more variable, the rain more intense, and NO lightening. This is NOT normal weather as some stated earlier.

No. The outflow from is simply stronger than the trough.

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

wow........
tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 230
miles. Hurricane force winds associated with may occur as
far as 150 to 175 miles inland along the track of the hurricane.

Thanks, Frank...I guess much of the bad weather is to our west...although I know there are still more feeder bands to go., althought according to local mets, won't be all that bad since it's so far off the coast. I guess tonight into tomorrow will tell the tale.
I hope that you all are safe and secure...and I can't believe it will be almost a Cat4...may God bless anyone in it's path.
