Another day, another tropical depression...
Diego
maybe it will die out over the Yucatan....
D'oh!
Wish you had worded it this way:
"Looks like Just a Mexico concern..."
The makes it GWB's #1 priority.
Have heard that before. Wife said no more hurricanes, it is unacceptable.
Good, looks like Bush and Rove are finally using their weather modification machine to attack Mexico. There's one going after Baja California as well.

Tropical storm Stan hits Mexico

Miami, Oct. 2 (UPI) — Tropical storm Stan washed over the Mexican Yucatan peninsula Sunday with winds of 45 mph as another tropical depression developed over the Atlantic Ocean.
At 8 a.m. EDT, the center of Stan was 75 miles south-southwest of Cozumel, moving west-northwest at 6 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami reported. Rainfall ranging from 5 to 10 inches was predicted.
The system was expected to weaken to a tropical depression while over land, but could "re-strengthen to a tropical storm after emerging over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico early Monday," forecasters said.
Meanwhile, tropical depression 19 was described as "poorly organized" over the Atlantic, about 715 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. The storm front was moving north-northwest at 8 mph with sustained winds of 35 mph, although strengthening was expected.
It's gusty here today. Must just be nice Gulf breezes.
