Before the game, the Orioles announced that Thursday's series finale has been moved up from 7:05 p.m. to 12:35 p.m. in hopes of getting the game in and allowing the Yankees to catch their flight to Tampa Bay afterward. The announcement came only 12 hours after a team spokesman insisted there was no chance it would be changed. No doubt the decision also had to do with the bottom line: If the game is played Thursday, the Orioles get to keep the gate, but if the game is postponed, it will be made up next weekend at Yankee Stadium, with...

Miramar-based Maritime Telecommunications Network, which earlier this year built for NBC the satellite-based mobile communications platform widely known as the "Bloommobile," today announced the special-purpose truck is helping the NBC network in its live coverage of Hurricane Isabel.

Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- More than 200 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean, a floating data platform directly in the path of Hurricane Isabel is secured to the seabed by a 4-ton anchor. The unmanned station, known as Buoy 41002, gathers weather information for forecasters, mariners and scientists. It also has its own unique Internet address. The National Data Buoy Center operates 79 data buoys scattered in the oceans, gulfs and seas that ring the U.S., and all of them send hourly updates to the Internet. During hurricane season, they collect information, direct and unfiltered, that draws hundreds of thousands...

For the hurricane/weather geeks out there. The closest data buoy to Isabel is #41002, which is 250nm east of Charleston, SC. Right now, the hurricane is 297nm to the SSE of the buoy. As far as I can tell, the Isabel will pass to the east of this buoy. Still, you should be able to get a very good idea of the actual strength of Isabel for the next 12 hrs.

<p>NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - It should be no surprise that big storms, including hurricanes and tropical storms, can cause big damage. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused $16 billion in insured losses.</p>
<p>But as Isabel, a category 2 hurricane, bears down on the Eastern seaboard, homeowners in the storm's path should brace themselves for an even bigger financial hit than they might have expected in prior years from a similar storm.</p>

Hurricane Isabel is falling apart and fast. Re-Con planes have been flying in the storm since midnight and the entire west quad of the storm has disappeared. The eastern portion of the storm has a wind around 110KTS. There is discussion that re-strengthening will occour within 24 hours though so this still remains a threat. Pressure has dramatically risen as well. Discussion currently is Isabel making landfall in either Northern South Carolina or Southern North Carolina and a due north move after landfall. Thinking is a landfalling Category 2 minimal 3 storm.
