Hurricane Warnings Posted

We are currently under a Hurricane Warning. Means we are expecting hurricane force winds in the Miami area.. Broward County.

Storm is really intensifying.. you'd never know it from National Hurricane Center's advisory but it is. Maybe the areas further out aren't so red but the center that is forming is anchoring itself big time. Why is this BIG... this is BIG because once it gets anchored in the center strong... it will intensify in strength over very warm water in the Gulf Stream. It is also I might add as the high kicks in and the steering currents take over... speed up a drop.

I have something odd to say here.. a pet peeve. My blog and I can do that..

Am sick to death of hearing about this area being called the TRI-County Area.

The hell it is.

It is Miami-Dade... or even maybe Miami-Dade/Broward but we are NOT connected to Palm Beach and I notice that it is usually Palm Beach businesses that use the Tri-County Crap which sort of means.. "come on up and visit us.. we aren't that far"

Me and WPB are miles and miles apart in so many ways and we are in different counties...different worlds. Miami/Broward...yeah will buy it because all the Miamians ran north to retire and grow old or raise families up there but West Palm Beach.. you are on your own.

So...

Miamians know how to prepare for a storm..

We go on automatic. We are living in Hurricane Country. Our school is called the University of Miami Canes. I grew up with them..I know what to do.. Either way its a crap shoot if you get the bad part or you get spared.

Beautiful sunset tonight.. sky was pink, purple.. the eastern sky and it's big tall clouds turned multi-colored. It was beautiful.

So... 26.0 Hollywood or near CountyLine... with an error of margin that it might drop a drop south. Well... my kids will be thrilled, after we clean up the yard and hunker down they can get a real hurricane and not just a tropical storm like we had by Frances.

Will see...

Keep watching.. see what the big guys say in the big bunker out at my old college.. FIU... let's see what the NHC do with it later... if the dot in the middle intensifies and the storm does in fact become a hurricane.

Night..from Miami
