Could this system be the 2000's Debby that never was?

Maybe it could. If I remember correctly, Debbie was supposed to strike South Florida butwas killed by Hispanola. There is always a chance that it will follow a Debbie but I guess we gotta wait a while longer to know for sure.

yes your facts are correct. it was going to stay a bit north of hispanola and than wnw into sofla...instead it dipped alittle south and vaporized in a few hours. local media had already went to non-stop coverage.

Yeah I remember that day very well. The media was pretty much all over Debbie. Ah how quickly things change in the tropics right, jlauderdal?

exactly, the look on their faces at 6pm when the thing was totally busted apart. of course we knew at 304 it wasnt happening by being on storm2k and at the time the other board in PB. well looking like a florida system to me...just dont see anything to drive it out of florida but still a week away i guess. we have seen this acenarion more than a few times the last few years.

The Media Frenzy I bet will start here in S. Florida on Sunday/Monday if that track verifies. It still amazes me that people are so unaware of possible Hurricanes. I spoke to a sifes friend last night about Frances and she said 'Oh, I heard it was going out to sea like they all do' Oh Boy

thats the difference between people that will panic and have to stand in line for hours next week and the people like yours truly that will be sitting back having drinks monitoring the progress. I prefer option 2. i do beleive all florida residents are uneasy after charley so IF this is a florida thing i suspect preperations will be smoother than usual but of course there will always be a solid 20% that get exactly what they deserve.
