All interests in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico and Florida need to closely monitor the path of this very dangerous storm.

FABIAN NOW A DANGER



you folks in Miami stay safe!!

(which is another way to say ... BUMP!)

[John H K]

Eh, exceedingly unlikely it strikes anwhere in the Carib given current motion and location.

Probably 70% chance of missing the US mainland, 30% chance of hitting.

[John H K]

Also, were it to hit the US, it wouldn't do so for another 8-10 days.

He's headed North to Alaska!

[lilylangtree]

Besides the actor, once knew a Morell Fabian. Wonder if he's still alive and does he feel honored sharing the same name with such a powerful ingredient from Mother Nature?

Crumb. We just finished a lounge and exercise room....under massive trees.

Time to crate up the paintings and drag out the cat carriers.
