The Official Hurricane Jeanne Grab Your Ass and Hold On Tight Thread

[Cleo]

It is looking very bad for Palm Beach. I live half way between Palm Beach and Miami so if it turns just a few miles south we could get a direct hit which would be a first as Fort Lauderdale has never had a direct hit from a hurricane.

In any case it is a category 3 now and they say it may become a category 4 before tonight when it hits.

I'm safe in my house with all my windows covered with storm shutters so I'll be fine but dreading losing utilities again. My house is built out of cement block with a low pitched roof and is basically built like a bunker to withstand even a direct hit from a category 5 hurricane. I'm also on high ground so it is very unlikely that a storm surge would have any effect on my location.
