even the middle keys could be 2 to 3 feet. you will certainly get some very fast water flowing through the cuts there, especially in the lower and the middle keys. but where it goes from there is the size of this cone getting bigger and bigger and it is because this is the average error times a little bit. so two-thirds of the storm should fall into this cone. this is a completely different storm if this side of the cone is involved. this is a different storm for tampa if this side of the cone is involved. i think everybody is kind of looking down the middle because the computer models are trying to figure it out. the gfs, the american model, was way out west, started charging to the east. the european model is way over here, started charging to the west and now they re literally only 50 to 75 miles apart. so that kind of gives you a good runway. it also gives us a good runway if that actually occurs what the storm surge threat might be. from tampa to inglewood, bonita spring
suarez live in tampa. chad myers is tracking the storm. chad, we re talking about all of the computer models, the various paths. what are they telling us right now? they re getting more organized even though there are five or so different models that we look at. the ones that the american model was really way out in the middle of the gulf of mexico. that was last week. the european model was in the atlantic ocean, 700 miles away. now all of that has calmed down and narrowed down to about a 100 wide strip where not that much air, what a pretty picture as long as you doan have to deal with this. this is the hurricane. the visible picture from the sky. this is what it looks like when you talk about the hot towers. the big thunderstorms around what could be and likely later today an eye. the storm is now breathing. it is sucking air into it from the surface and it is blowing it up to those towers and out of the top and that is what we call a breathing, living, growing hurricane
