You guys did see that the official NHC forecasts are moving the cone of opportunity further out to sea as of last night and the 5am, right? And after Katrina etc.. they are probably super cautious anyways, right?
This has a 1996 feel to it, warm, hot and storms passing offshore, making lots of good surf!

Anybody remember the name of the near-miss locally in the mid to late '90's...end of September I think it was...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I'll tell ya, yesterday's weather sure had that pre-hurricane feel that I remember - real humid and still with virtually no breeze... 
If you start to notice very few birds of any kind around, it's time to start paying attention big time... 
Maybe time to go to DefCon 1 - I'll have to run it by the Chief of Naval Operations as soon as she wakes up |

This is why I said I won't start worrying about this until tomorrow.
I remember the 90s near miss--it veered unexpectedly out to sea at the last minute. When we were still in its bullseye, the air had a heavy, metallic feel to it that you could almost taste. |
