Ophelia anyone??


Recommended Posts

I am flying to Orlando from Los Angeles Friday morning, to cruise on the Mariner on Sunday 9/11-anyone out there with any insight into Ophelia and how she will affect the trip?? Particularly anyone already in the Orlando/PC area, how bad is it out there?? Thanks!!

 

 

I really think things should be cleared up by then, it looked like it should make landfall soon and I would not think it would gain any more strength at this point.

Thanks-I will not allow Ophelia to poop on my party-I hate party poopers....

 

Just checked the weather channel site-she (ophelia) is trying to go north, but slowly-I may get a lot of rain and wind in Orlando this weeked-just as long as I go, thats all I care about-rain, snow, hail, I don't really care-pigs can fall from the sky as long as I go!!

 

Keeping all 10 fingers and toes crossed-

Hi Elvis & Tracey

 

Latest on the storm: Will hit Jacksonville, Fl. on Saturday. Orlando area is having rain & wind today & tomorrow, (Thursday) storm is predicted to go on a Northwesterly route. Disney ship due to arrive at the Cape tomorrow will be docking in Ft. Lauderdale instead, however, the same ship will be back @ the Cape for Sunday, 9/11 sailing. I am sure Disney has private forecasters they use.

 

Have a great cruise.

Watching Ophelia like a hawk-supposed to fly to Orlando in less than 24 hours-I just called the Radisson and they said its pretty much business as usual so far-just rain and wind-so I guess its still a go-

 

RCI claims on their sit that the Sunday crusies from PC will not be changed-I just hope that I don't fly to Orlando only to be put on abus to Tampa or Miami or somewhere else-

Check out the latest 5 day model, you'll be ok. We are flying into Miami on Saturday so I am relieved as well.

Interesting, that 5 day model looks good for me, but other sources are saying that it is too unpredictable to forecast because it isn't moving at all-I like your model much better!!

 

RCI isn't too worried either, so I am keeping hte faith so far-

 

Don't ya just love September??

Weather Guy on Greta tonight said he thinks it'll go east a little, but be hit by warm air pressure from the north east and will spin around and come back to US somewhere in Savannah, Georgia / Cape Hatteras area. He admits its a guess, but said that is what Jean did last year and the pressure systems and conditions are similar.
