With two of them coming near us, we all know that anything could happen, even a turn at the last moment. Don't be caught unprepared. Dan, stock up on that single malt.

Gustav is expected to make at least CAT 4

Godspeed to everyone.

I'm off to Costa Rica in 4 hours to celebrate my 1 year Anniversary with my wonderful wife.

I'll be keeping a watchful eye on the conditions here and keep everyone in my prayers.

WHOA.
Around 2:30 I just saw this spirally whisps heading up to a low black cloud right next to westbound I4 near Disney It didnt develop into a twister but it was freaking me out. Godspeed everyone in the path of this angry storm.

I have seen reports that they have called it cat 5 now. Nasty storm. I hope Havana has battened down the hatches.

The rain bands hit central Florida today and killed a beautiful 175 mile motorcycle ride. Goddamn hurricanes...

Watching this from Costa Rica right now. ~~I have absolutely no faith in these projected path models. Mark my words (rhetorically speaking of course), this hurricane will surprise us somehow.~~

OK, fine. Even the forecasters can get lucky once in a while.

Rainy and Crappy from the feeder bands here all day. Had a funnel cloud reported in Naranja heading out into the Redlands (agricultural area) today. No word on if it touched down.

Wife is keeping me updated hourly.

Damned hurricane ruined a day's fishing trip. I hope the sumbitch gets wrapped around an abandoned oil rig and stalls out.

I for damn sure don't want it to hit New Orleans- I couldn't take another 6 months or more of hearing about that place (plus I don't want a lot of people getting killed).
