Miami EOC Goes Live ON Air Press Conference - No Upgrade Yet Tho



Well when the models look like this than it is prudent going into the weekend to try and get the emergency people together and address the public. Miami and Hurricanes over the Weekend go together and if this storm "could" hit Monday or late Monday it means people need to re-think what they will be doing this weekend.

And, with the NHC silent on this whole issue of being the center of what could be the possible cone if we ever get one then... I am pretty impressed.

This was not hype.

They asked people not panic but to remain vigilant, to check their supplies and go over plans for a possible close call or direct hit from a storm later in the week.

Fox said they found a center. NHC probably wanted to know where. Fox News said they didn't actually find a center. NHC is still in the Air with Recon.

Max Mayfield will be on the news with ABC at 6pm to talk to the viewers.

EMT people in South Florida met this afternoon.

The stores are putting out water as I speak. Publix was in North Miami Beach.

I put on TWC for the tropical update and nothing.. they were doing a special on GET THIS... a WHAT IF Miami got hit by a Major Hurricane. You know.. they have been showing it for weeks but today when I needed info on a possible Miami hit and they are doing a WHAT IF. No words. Put those infomercials on during the middle of the night please.

New models are going west suddenly and taking it into the Gulf after going through th Keys. Models will change a lot. I think it's an adjustment for the GFS as the last run was up the Bahamas and officially the model that most people felt showed it would re-curve out to sea. So.. I imagine the next run or two will move back to the left a bit. GFS and GFDL are in the same family and walk the same walk all the time.

Stay tuned... the planes are out there and word should be forthcoming.

But.. I think it's interesting that the models have suddenly started moving wildly back and forth because until now they have been consistent.

That worries me.

Making Shabbos here, bought a few small diet like healthy snacks that don't need to be kept cold and told the kids not to throw out any bottles. Will make a list later.

My gardener cut the grass :)

Will be back later with more info as it develops..

Such drama.. my gosh...
