And it looks like it is heading due east for South Florida.

Friday, Sept. 12th I'm scheduled to fly out for my buddy's wedding in Maryland where I'm going to be a groomsman. I've been looking forward to this trip for months, and I can't afford to miss it. I am just worried come that day we'll be hit by some storm and the airport will be closed.

I just hope first and foremost that this storm makes a turn out to sea and no one is affected. If not that, at least have it gone and done with by next Friday.

6. I'd just feel for my buddy in that case.

Plans are for an outdoor wedding.

3. Maybe I'm misreading the map, but

If they expect it in to be near the Bahamas Saturday, it wouldn't take six more days to get to Florida, would it?

Which Jeanne did back in 2004.

Hopefully, fingers crossed, the coast will be clear (literally) by next Friday. But now I'm looking at Josephine. :mad:

As a Floridian, hurricane season doesn't bother really, except when I have something planned that cannot be changed. Then I get frustrated.
