Ernesto....
Now even named yet, but it's Tropical Depression #5 at this point. Projected to come into the Gulf by sliding underneath Cuba. Still a long ways away, but just giving everyone a heads up...

Yep, and it's already caused oil prices to jump a buck.

Long way to go yet, not even guessing where it's heading for around 36 hours. Kinda low around Cuba so should head away from Florida unless it makes a heck of a turn north then east......but they have done that before.

Well, it's a named tropical storm now (Ernesto). Once it gets into the Gulf, it is a done deal about making landfall somewhere....... The only two questions are, (1) how strong is it going to get before landfall takes place? and (2) who exactly is going to get smacked by it.
I believe around September 10th is the peak of hurricane season activity, and that is coming up pretty shortly. Man, wouldn't it be nice to have a year where Florida escaped ALL the paths? One can only hope...... We've had our share of the fun and games, I think.

Yeah, if Louisanna gets tagged again the New Orleans racist mayor will say that the Bush Admin generated the hurricane and pointed it at New Orleans again!
Hopefully, like others have said FL will escape the wrath of any major hurricanes. Maybe it will take out the hospital that Castro is in!

Have you seen this story? Nagin is an moron. Never should have been reelected.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1933092.shtml
Two of the quotes that really stand out.
From Nagin in response to being asked why the area hasn't been completely cleaned up yet.
"That’s alright. You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed and it’s five years later. So let’s be fair."
From Leonard Moore, a professor of African-American history at LSU.
"I think you are looking at basically a town that will be a playground for the rich for the next 40 years," Leonard Moore, a professor of African-American history at Louisiana State University, tells Pitts. "I look at the post-Katrina piece as a game of musical chairs….Once the music gets turned off, the white folks have a place to sit down, a place to sleep, a place for their children to go to school. We’re going back to a trailer."

Generally speaking, people as a species, are insane. Who was that guy in Washington D.C. (Marion Barry?) who got re-elected as mayor (or something) even after caught red handed on tape taking part in a dope deal?
Hell, even after all the shenanigans, Bill Clinton got re-elected.
Either we are all just insane voting for the people we do, or are selections are so manipulated that we simply can only try to choose the least worst of the offerings......

I vote that they're all garbage and we only pick the least of the worst.
. I get heartburn listening to the idiot New Orleans mayor Nagin.
