I am looking at Intellicast.com and saw the big patch of blue over Louisiana and Mississippi, so I thought I would mosey on over here and see what was happening.

Holy crap!  It's wierd to see all that blue and pink that far south.  It is right in the middle of a big blob of green.

Someone alert Algore!
