Not sure who Jeff Masters is, but considering his comment on "vulnerable places", it seems he doesn't spend much time here on S2K. In our umpteen discussions on the same topic here, we surely came up with many other equally (if not more so) vulnerable places other than N.O and the Keys.

Next to New Orleans, the Keys are the number one most vulnerable place in the U.S., and a storm that causes major loss of life there is probably only a matter of time.

That sounds alot like the stuff we wrote on this site.

in the keys?

hmm maybe, but those people down there, especially the natives, are more storm savvy then a lot of people give them credit for.

[Dr. Jonah Rainwater]

Not really. Those people have had alot of experiences with the fringes of hurricanes and with massive false alarm evacuations.

If memory serves me, something like 50% of all Key West residents didn't evacuate for Wilma...

[terstorm1012]

they may not have left for Wilma, but the old Conch families that inhabit the Keys know a thing or two.

It's the others who have moved in who don't.

I think, however, the others outnumber the Conchs...

Well Jeff Masters joined the hurricane hunters in the late 1980's.. He was the flight meteorologist in 1988 into Hurricane Gilbert and 1989 into Hurricane Hugo just to name two biggies... He also helped to co-found the weatherundergound.... He has also been on the Talking Tropics Show with Watkins several times in the past few years...
