Thanks for the link!

The last few times I have checked it remained very hard to track. Don't know it's any different now or not.
The spaghetti's were pointing every where you could go and then some.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

How are you doing down there Rod? Hope you are spared damage.

Outer feeder bands have been coming into central Florida off and on since this morning from Gustav. Thunder and light rain.

[redgolum]

Self ping.

Prayers for those in the path.

[rodguy911]

I just checked WU and the five dayer goes from Cape Canaveral to Jamaica,not lending to a give track yet I would surmise.

[rodguy911]

Thanks worker! We are good,lots of rain maybe 3-4 inches,some wind but nothing spectacular.

[rodguy911]

Wow Central Fla. that’s a long,long way!

[DrewsMum]

Somewhere on FR is a post that says Gustav is now a Cat 5— can anyone verify?

[tj21807]

Question:

Democrats will blame:

1. George Bush
2. John McCain
3. Sarah Palin
4. All of the above with a global warming thrown in.

and moving up to NE FL as well

Yes, three cheers for NautiNurse!

[TornadoAlley3]

Hi RG! I am guessing this takes up a lot of Sunday talk shows-—and Palin:)

[SAJ]

Nauti -- you might want to start a separate thread based on the info at a specific page on :

The OilDrum

FWIW, I know a lot of the OilDrum people. Mostly long-time pros in the 'awl bidness' (with, naturally, a few ding-dongs).

I should advise FReepers to pay particular attention to the eponymous 'Chuck' on that site. His stats and graphics, particularly regarding production areas, are excellent.

Prayers up and fingers crossed!

I went through Alicia in Kingwood, and while the winds didn’t blow down houses, a lot of the “Liveable Forest” wound up blown down, and crushed a lot of homes. Alecia was a 3, and estimated at 1 when it hit us. not a lot of fun.

[redgolum]

Guessing all of the above.

And maybe Mike Moore’s burping.

[eastforker]

No, thats Sarah Palin cat 5 thread. But Gus is getting close.

[DrewsMum]

that must have been where they got their info...or should i say misinfo

MIDI - YELLOW SUBMARINE

In the town of New Orleans
Was a mayor who possessed the means
He said to evacuate
It's too bad it was very late

Then he got on the TV
He looked like a clown to you and me
He had buses that were parked
Still today he is in the dark

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

He knew he must dodge the blame
Buses now are out of the game
They had floated like Ted's car

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

(brief musical break)

So the Dems play politics
Normal people they are making sick
That is always what they do
Like the Whigs, may they soon be through

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
