It will drop a little more, but come back up as an EWRC starts early this afternoon.

I think it'll be higher at 5pm, isn't it hard for a hurricane to sustain this kind of pressure/intensity? This year though, a grain of crow is often needed with predictions. (yes I know it's normally called a grain of salt)

I voted 900s at 5 PM, probably 906-908. This is assuming that an EWRC begins, though. If one doesn't, then, well... *ducks*

I'm expecting the pressure to be lower at 11 AM, though, if they send out any recon before then. Sub-880 wouldn't surprise me.

Forgive me for saying this but I really don't see the purpose of these polls.

If I lived in middle America away from the coast perhaps it would be interesting to toy with what if this, what if that, etc.

For those of us in the target area, this ceases to be a game and becomes a matter of planning for not only our own safety but the safety of our loved ones and in my case, the citizens of the city I live in.

As we've already seen this year, hurricanes are deadly, costly and change lives forever.

Again, please forgive me for my negativity but those of us in Florida are starting to get edgy and understandably so.
