Hurricane Wilma? - Page 3

**Donger** · 10-17-2005, 03:28 PM

Here we go again, perhaps. Of course, every time I say "Hurricane Wilma!" in my head, it sounds like Fred Flintstone.

Anyway, here's the latest track:

I think windy, wet conditions would probably favor the Chiefs. Our running attack is potent, and our O-Line should be able to open holes for our running game. Especially if Taylor can't go.

On the flip side, I think the Dolphin's strength is the running attack. However, the Chiefs are much improved against the run, while our pass D is more suspect.

I think a pound the ball running matchup definitely favors the Chiefs...

If Taylor can't go, Matt Roth will play on obvious running downs. I think I'd rather face Taylor...

I like the thought of Wille Roaf taking on a rookie.......

Roaf will handle any of them. The statement made was that we should be able to run against them, especially if Taylor CAN'T go.

My refutation was that we may actually be able to run better WITH Taylor, as Roth is bigger, stronger, and meaner than Taylor.

This storm could roll across south Florida on Saturday and keep raining until Sunday night. This could screw up the Chiefs game potentially. One of the guys I work with has tickets to the game, and is flying out Thursday AM. If the keys are evacuated, he could be screwed. No hotels, no rental cars. He's worried his vacation will be ruined. Poor guy...

I love how this hurricane discussion turned quickly into a football thread. That is more like it.

**Donger** · 10-18-2005, 04:44 PM

Latest track. When is the game?

Hammock Parties · 10-18-2005, 04:44 PM

From the reports I've seen, this hurricane will be well out into the atlantic by Sunday gametime.

However, if it isn't, and they have to move the game up to Friday or Saturday, all us NFL Sunday Ticket users are going to get SCREWED.

Noon Sunday. I guess Miami is east coast so 1 pm in Miami.

Thanks. From the track, it would seem that the weather weenies are predicting that she's going to vastly increase her momentum. I don't remember the last time I saw a hurricane travel the distance they are showing on the latest track so quickly. It looks like she'll be moving at close to 40 mph.

I doubt that she'll make it beyond a weak Category 3, but throw in that forward movement, and that's some strong wind.

FloridaMan88 · 10-18-2005, 07:38 PM

Latest track looks similar to the track Hurricane Charlie, which had no impact on the Miami area, except for some minor rain.

RINGLEADER · 10-18-2005, 08:08 PM

It will probably be rainy but nothing else. If it's worse then we'll probably see the game moved to Monday night.

Isn't the weakness of the Dolphins their secondary? This could be the great equalizer for them - not that our passing attack has been much to write home about (unless you count screens

)

It's now a Cateogry 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds, central pressure is down to 892 mb. It's the strongest hurricane in the Gulf/Atlantic this season, if you can believe that. Katrina and Rita were never this strong. I believe that 892 is the 2nd strongest hurricane pressure ever in the Atlantic... it's up there anyway. Amazing how this will probably just be looked at as "Oh, another Cat 5."

tk13 · 10-19-2005, 04:03 AM

This thing has exploded. It was 110 mph last night. It's now still at 175 mph winds. According to the Weather Channel, the pressure has now dropped to an incredible 884 mb. This is now the most intense hurricane in recorded history in the Atlantic.

My buddy may not be happy but I sure as hell am that I canceled my trip to Miami this weekend.

He fuggin hates Miami now that he lives there. He say it takes atleast 2hrs drive anywhere, english is a 2nd language and housing prices are terrible. Says 500,000 for a 2br/1ba home is the norm. But, they do have those neat little 25K dollhouses in the frontyards.

I told him before he moved that visiting is fantastic, living there is horrible. Did he listen? Nope. Now he wants to move back after 2yrs there. Whattapuss.
