They say she is veering away from Florida now and that people from the Carolinas up through New England should start preparing for the worst. She looks ugly!

Damn. I dont know how you guys in the southeast deal with that. Killer picture though.
We have our hurricane survival kits all prepared. Lots of canned protein, peanutbutter, jugs of water and juice. I used to live in a flood zone right by the water...after a voluntary evacuation one year on our wedding anniversary I decided our next house would not be near the water.

Yes there is a warm pocket along the east coast, extending out into the Atlantic that is basically keeping it from straying off course.Originally posted by Keiser
I doubt it, the waters are still too warm... She'll probably remain a cat 5 until landfall, probably one of the most well developed hurricanes i've seen...

Thats a beautiful storm, there hasnt been one so defined since 2000 and it was in the pacific. This is moving slowly on a NW pace, so its going to brush the bahamas one way or another. All tropical storms need a constant water temp of at least 80 degrees to survive, if it were to strike the new england area, it wouldnt start to down grade till about the NC, Virginia border...but as long its in the water it is, it will intensify...Im guessing 175mph winds at its peak, that is as long as it doesnt come in contact with any easterly wind shear
