Hanna is a terrible storm to track the spaghetti's have always been all over the place.

Well, sort of. Seasonality in NG, which, btw, you can learn all about at my website:

Time & Timing

becomes a non-existent concept when GOM hurricanes show up in Sep-Oct.

Oh, we'll see a demand drop this year, not a doubt in my mind. It will be due to demand destruction from higher prices, esp. if Hanna or another later storm does another dance right on GOM production facilities.

Remains to be seen,last I heard McCain wanted to turn the convention into a telethon for Gustave victims.Tough call. No matter what he does it will be wrong for some.

LOL! you are bad!

Where’s the spaghetti? I haven’t been able to find it.

Thanks!

Listening to Jindal give instructions to citizens, saying he has been told by hurricane center this will be worse than Katrina. he has planes leaving NO with hospital patients.

[rodguy911]

Look at the five day for Hannah and you will see the problem. The bubble at five days, goes from Guantanamo to Jacksonville Fla. all that means is that they don’t have a clue.
Probably weak steering currents they are tough to forecast.

My sister and bro in law are in League City, their son and his wife are in Friendswood, so I’m keeping an eye your way from the Alabama coast.

Jindal’s management will save the state but the DBM coverage will “forget” to cover it.

Hey TOL how are you gal!What do you think of Palin?

hi Roddy! What I think??........ Enough to have sent my $100 to McCain/Palin today, and I put Gov. Palin's name in the "who referred me" section!

Now, lets hope the hubby doesn't notce it on the bill when it comes in....... ;0)

Jindal: Hurricane Center says Gustav could be 'As Bad As It Gets'

[TornadoAlley3]

Palin is giving same speech today as yesterday, still great but I was hoping for something more.

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for the link. Will definitely check out the info.

[rodguy911]

I just heard the weather channel and they said that you had gusts to 54 mph and there is a tornado warning in effect.How bad is it? When is high tide? The next two high tides will tell the story for us if we are to get any water.

[rodguy911]

Two and a half glasses of wine will inspire all that.

[NautiNurse]

I noticed same. Maybe he’s taken a Labor Day holdiay?
