They weren't joking when they said it would be an active hurricane year. Usually when they've said that- there have been some small ones or maybe a 3 with the rare 4.

i thought it was called jeane...the one in the carribean or wherever. (supposedly NC coast) highly doubt that.

So far here in orlando its just been very windy and rainy. Im suprised people are taking this so lightly down here compared to other hurricanes.

I traveled to Pensacola this weekend to play in a football game and the recovery efforts there are coming along. It is amazing that two months after the hurricane, trees, signs, and roof damage were still visible. The school I played at had no press box, the baseball scoreboard was shredded, and the fence was down. It is amazing at the power of these storms.

I was also in pensacola last week as well. That's a long drive in from miami. Anyway, the storm surge is what suprised me the most. I saw some places along the bay where it look to be 20-30 foot rise. Some houses were complety gutted.

That being said, the wind damage that I saw did not seem as bad as I thought it would be. Charley was much much worse in terms of inland wind damage.

If it doesn't reach strength by midnight, it'll go unnamed. The storm that the film the Perfect Storm was made about was such a storm. Hurricane Grace was downgraded at the end of the season, then regained hurricane strength after the end of the season. Since the season was over she didn't get her name back, and up here in New England it was known as the "No-name Storm."
