In fact it looks like it's barely going to touch Florida anymore and make a beeline for the Carolinas

That is really neat, Rosey! Thanks...I'll keep watching it.
Katie -- I'm so far inland that I don't think it could be more than a 1 if it reaches us. I'll take care -- and you still be careful!!!
I just don't want it to hit Charleston full-force ... that's one of my favorite cities in the world.
Looking at Windy, the very southern part of the oceans is really stormy!! South of South America & Africa. Is that normal? Or are there a lot of really big storms down there!

Wind 240/9KT
What does that mean?

There's always very high pressure at the poles because it is so cold. The air sinks and squashes down on the ice. The cold air is sort of pushed across the globe. There is a front near the poles where a low pressure belt and a high pressure belt meet, which creates a lot of cloud cover and wind in those areas. It should also happen in the north.

You're so smart. That's why I like you  That and muffins. |

Wind 240/9KT What does that mean? Nine knots, I think. |

9 knots is nothing, lol.
I was afraid of the 240 -- but I think that's the direction it's coming from?

It looks like it. A bearing of 240 is more or less ESE, I think.

I also live in Florida as well.
I kinda feel concerned as I do not want to go without electricity. I hate hurricanes after I went through three hurricanes in 2004.
