North. This is a worstcase scenario for haiti. They will get the feet of rain and Hurricane Force winds at category 4. Here is the latest track moving to the north an extra 24 to 36 hours then begins the northwest jog. We talked about that. However the problem is now the northwest jog is more of a movement. Now we are talking about many of our counties in the county of uncertainty here. The exact track of the storm remains to be seen. With that current track, they are going to have hurricane watches for the eastern side of the peninsula. I expect that do come down in the next couple of hours if not sooner as the storm makes its closest path thursday and then into friday making the turn up to the north and east. As far as our effects, if it pans out this way, we will be on the drier side of the storm but now the wind will be more of an issue. Instead of 25 to 30, we are dealing with 45 to 50 miles per the center passes. We are on the drier side of the storm. We are not expecting rain wi
Western side of haiti there. Storm surge will be significant. The winds will be destructive and the amount of rain on hilly terrain will lead to mudslides and life threatening conditions the next couple of days. The track has shifted. We are moving it further to the northwest. That was the case yesterday but now its more of a turn to florida.

When we get pictures back, i think they will be just astonishing. This is 145 Miles Per Hour storm that has made landfall often the Southern Coast of haiti with incredible amounts of rain and the winds, category 4 winds which by the way continue it made landfall over the end of the peninsula here, small strip. North. Continue to head to the one thegest hricanes ever to hit haiti. This is a big deal. It may make a second landfall later on this afternoon and evening across eastern cuba. There is the storm heading to and west not just the bahamas but now as well for us as we are in the cone. I will go closer here. We are now in the game here as far as this storm potentially affecting us with Hurricane Force winds, not in tampa but along the east coast. That is the biggest change in the last 4 hours.
