You're In Direct Range.
Ever since 'cane season opened, I've been jumping up and down and waving my arms and yelling "HEY! Over here! Over here!"
Guess it's working. Hi, Alberto!

About Me
- Name: Kathy
Be then thine own home, and in thyself dwell; Inn anywhere; continuance maketh hell. And seeing the snail, which everywhere doth roam, Carrying his own house still, still is at home; Follow—for he is easy paced—this snail, Be thine own palace, or the world's thy gaol. ~John Donne

It must an odd combination of being apprehensive/mentally prepared/scared and 'oh well, here we go again.'
I know all the years we lived in Fort Worth and we got tornado warnings fairly frequently, I would usually put up a brave front (as an adult, anyway) but I knew if I ever saw one coming, I would completely freak out.
Actually, having seen Katrina seems to have shocked all the fear out of me. Which is weird because a Cat 5 could in fact slam through here and do a terrific amount of damage even this far inland. I'd really have to run for it because the Village is in a flood zone. Ah well. Nothing to do but get ready, sit tight, and keep an eye on the bastids.
Now he's projected to hit south from me, high up on the west coast, Tuesday about midnight.
Projection as at Monday 8 a.m. has Al running through the state midway between me and my Orlando family -- with both of us getting rain (which we need).
"For the 2006 north Atlantic hurricane season, NOAA is predicting 13 to 16 named storms, with eight to 10 becoming hurricanes, of which four to six could become 'major' hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher."
It is like some awful lottery that you don't want to win but you don't want anyone else to, either.
Al is not amenable to the suggestion, but I feel your pain about the electric bill. I've had some doozies during my Florida home-owning decades.
Wind and rain at 9 a.m. Tuesday but nothing I'd call bad. They've evacuated low-lying areas in the county just south of mine.
Al could blow right across the state and get much nastier in the Atlantic. Hope not.
