Mogal Eric, So far: It is still small AND not likely to provide us with more than a bit of rain and some breeze. I also believe that the Republican Convention is unlikely to be seriously disturbed, unless a major change occurs. This storm is projected to go over the mountains of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and then Cuba ...before crossing over to the Florida Keys. It is likely to lose a lot of steam before it does that .....and then pick up steam about the time it leaves the area west of Tampa. Then ....it is anyone's guess - as the Gulf of Mexico has warm and deep waters. So, Texas and Louisiana? We are at 25N and 77W (please see maps and track on the URLs infra). Isaac is going West of us and Joyce east of us. The URLs: ISAAC http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at201209_5day.html JOYCE http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at201210_5day.html And so ....the season goes ...until Nov end best jc ps: I have found the the "wunderground" site quite reliable. Of course, if something big is coming directly at us .... we will head out; Wonder if the site is of use for major storms in the Indian ocean
