MIAMI (AP) - Tropical Storm Ophelia strengthened Wednesday off Florida's Atlantic coast, following an erratic path that threatened parts of the state with heavy rain.
Less than two weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit South Florida, tropical storm warnings were posted along a 100-mile stretch from Sebastian Inlet to Flagler Beach. The storm's sustained wind increased to 50 mph from 40 mph earlier in the day, and forecasters said it could reach hurricane strength.
Forecasters warned that the slow-moving Ophelia's path remained uncertain. Some computer models have the storm moving to the east and away from the coast, others have it going west, closer to shore, and some show it heading east and then looping back toward the state
Up to 5 inches of rain are expected over the next few days from central Florida to southeastern Georgia, with some isolated areas possibly getting 8 inches.
DO you think East coasters are gonna do anything different then the ppl of NO did?
I personally am keeping an eye on the storms coming this way. Anything major seems to happen and i am outta here. There is too much "swamp" on Ft Stewart to just let it flood around me.
