"What a difference an hour (...Well, poopee doopee! "What a difference an hour (a day) makes!"<BR/><BR/>Hanna (What a fickle storm!), instead of continuing to curl on back into herself -- and possibly even going into the Gulf of Mexico -- now appears as tho she will possibly 'kiss' the eastern side of Florida and then continue on up the southeastern US coastal states. Actually, unless she continues veering not just north but east, the Carolinas are going to take a real pounding. SO, not only was I wrong there, but so was Matthew. What can I tell ya? These storms have their own agendas!<BR/><BR/>And dagnab it, anyway!! Gustav looks like he's headed directly for New Orleans ... it's a really good thing that a mandatory evacuation was ordered for them a few hours back.<BR/><BR/>Listen up, guys! I'm going to give you the URL site for one of the main trackers I use. It's updated every few minutes, OK?<BR/><BR/>BTW, we are by NO means out of the picture here! This is one dangerous storm!!<BR/><BR/>OK.

Just checked in with the current infrared satellite picture of Gustav, and when I put it in motion, it appears as tho he's moving almost directly north at the present time. I'm going to check one more source, and then I'll report back. If what I thought I just saw on infrared is correct and holds true, then he won't be coming anywhere near us ... perhaps not even Louisiana ... 140mph now, a VERY dangerous storm.<BR/><BR/>Well, I checked with two other sites, and it would appear that I was incorrect. New Orleans is under a mandatory evacuation as of last night. Will check again in a few hours, and see if I can get some better intel for you.Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-73572669664185890302008-08-30T16:19:00.000-05:002008-08-30T16:19:00.000-05:00Starting to look like a very scary storm, actually...Starting to look like a very scary storm, actually.

(And there was a small period of time in the last day or two when I thought Gustav and Hanna might join forces, but I think Gustav is far enough ahead of Hanna -- altho not by much -- that that event is not very likely to occur.)<BR/><BR/>And then, there will still be a tremendous cone of uncertainty while he traverses the wide expanse of the Gulf of Mexico and grows to gigantic proportions. Finally, as he nears land, there will be even more questions as he will most certainly 'wobble'.<BR/><BR/>I'm 'set'. Not to worry. What will be will be. <BR/><BR/>Whale, what are you doing commenting on my blog? Thought you and Chuck were setting out this morning on your 10-day 'adventure in the wet'?!?Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-20323946964098097802008-08-30T07:31:00.000-05:002008-08-30T07:31:00.000-05:00Saying a prayer that this one is not a destructive...Saying a prayer that this one is not a destructive one.
