From what I was just looking at, it's predicted to head into the Gulf over the next couple of days. It's already at Cat 3.

New Orleans again or what?

ETA: Ike

Pensacola/Mobile

Nope. East of Mobile bay. Probably Panama City or east.

Looks like it will go thru the Keys at a minimum.

I bet Ike treats NOLA like Tina Turner

roy d....keepin' his pimp hand strong

Several years ago I saw one storm after another form.

NOLA got hammered.
Then NOLA residents went to Houston and got nailed.

NOLA seems to be the Bullseye God himself aims for...

I really hope the storms peter out, and no one gets hurt, and someone wakes up, and moves the folks in NOLA to the dessert.

Just saying.

Somewhere in south Florida. To me, that means Miami

Ike is my favorite South Park character.

Well, I hate to see anyone get hit, but after the shit they gave us, it sure would be ironic if Pensacola got hit

Pensacola here (Milton actually). It's the last thing we need... still getting over the Ivan hit in '04.

Just yesterday it was aimed right at me (Miami).

I have always believed it would go right thru the center of Cuba and continue (just the edge touching the Keys).

And the graph continues moving that way

Folks, it's still too far out to tell.

If it goes overland anywhere it can affect it's strength and path dramatically.

I have enough nervous tension without spending another week looking at those damn models.

The blue and the red both would indicate another rape of New Orleans.

God forgive me, but as long as it skips South Florida, I don't give a rip where it goes.

There are some mountains in Cuba that would do a lot towards pulling the bottom out of this thing.

If it hits us again, I'm going to be fucking pissed! We just got power back today!

Oddly enough, my generator to power my whole house arrived about 10 minutes after we got power back.

Well I had a handle of Jack, a handle of vodka, a bottle of rum, 6 bottles of wine, and 6 sixers of turbo dog before gustav, I am down to 3 beers and half a handle of vodka, so I need to restock that before Ike.

The 5-day cone at the moment looks like it's got NO dead-centered. Cuba could take the hit for us.
