Everblades are the next ECHL target for Hurricanes this year. Their opener is set for Friday (after having a whole new sched done with the temp suspensions of the Texas and Biloxi teams). Germain arena is typically used as a shelter and their home opener is Friday night. Surely will be postponed.

They're calibrating their instruments to make sure..but according to the latest Hurricane Hunter flight, the storm has a central presure of 882 millibars, which would make it the most powerful storm ever in the Atlantic Basin, since they started taking records.
Scary.

Forcasting now has it moving through the pass between the Yucatan and Cuba and weakening, perhaps hitting Florida as a Category 3 storm.
Better than a 5...

The article tommy posted suggest that they think it will go down to a Cat 3 before any landfall. Let's hope!

yeah, I saw a few reports that showed it dropping cats pretty quickly. but still looking like a cat 3 for the keys, and 3/2 for southern florida.
I definitely have my fingers crossed. 3 is manageable. compared to the strongest recorded storm in history anyway.

Remember, though, even a slight deviation in its path and we could see the Yucatan peninsula or Cuba get absolutely hammered by the storm in its current state or something close to it.
I'm looking forward to winter and the end of hurricane season, although at this rate we'll see Hurricane Beta (they go to Greek letters after all the human names are exhausted) hit us on New Year's Eve or something like that...

well, once we're out of hurricane season the storms will switch to ice storms.
I'm planning on dropping several bills for a genny quite soon. I've been putting it off for too long.

Tropical Storm Zeta Forms In Atlantic
POSTED: 12:53 pm EST December 30, 2005
UPDATED: 12:53 pm EST December 30, 2005
MIAMI -- Tropical Storm Zeta formed Friday in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, another installment in a record-breaking hurricane season that officially ended last month.
Zeta, the 27th storm of the season, formed Friday about 1,000 miles south-southwest of the Azores islands, according to an advisory posted on the National Hurricane Center's Web site. It posed no immediate threat to land.
The center said it would send out a full advisory later Friday. Tropical storms have winds of at least 39 mph.
It was not immediately known if Dec. 30 was the latest date for the formation of a tropical storm in the Atlantic. But earlier this month, Hurricane Epsilon became only the fifth hurricane to form in December in 154 years of record-keeping. Hurricanes form when their winds exceed 74 mph.
Zeta is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet, which forecasters turned to after they used up _ for the first time _ their list of 21 proper names for storms. The record for tropical storms and hurricanes in a season had been 21, set in 1933 before such storms were regularly named.
The 2005 Atlantic storm season, which officially ended Nov. 30, included 14 hurricanes, including Epsilon.
One of the hurricanes, Katrina, destroyed large portions of Louisiana and Mississippi last August in the most costly disaster in U.S. history. Hurricanes Dennis, Rita and Wilma also caused significant damage in the U.S.
Forecasters have said that hurricane seasons are going to be more active than usual for at least another decade _ and possibly as long as 50 years.
