Okay, so what is her projected path? Don't tell me that Florida is going to be hit again!

Right now they have the southern tip of Florida in the projected path. But I think what I have heard is they are expecting this one to go a little further north. Carolina's again. And it isn't like they haven't had enough this year.
How funny these paths are, weather.com has it turning slightly north.
I have seen the storm in a couple of places referred to as "Javier". Jeanne makes more sense (if they switch from male to female names in order). Anybody know who sets the official name?
I believe 'Javier' is/was a Pacific storm. Different set of names.
"Javier" is out in the Pacific currently threatening the Mexican coast.
The Raleigh guy is using the latest path from the NHC. I think they are to be believed.
Dang, another hurricane...
I think this is God's way of telling Florida... "If you try to steal this election for Kerry, I've got locusts..."
Hurricane Jean strikes the Dominican Republic before the hurricane warning being issued

Looks like Jeanne is headed due west. She may be history on that course with the mountains ahead.
Joe Bastardi from one of the weather prediction centers, said that Jeanne would most likely strike the U.S. mainland. He predicted it would hit the Florida peninsula and cross over into the Gulf Of Mexico, sending it towards New Orleans.
Doncha think that if power is out in FL during the election, they will have to revert to the dreaded "butterfly ballots."
"Javier" is an East Pacific Hurricane ... the EPac hurricanes get names from a separate list, and the masculine/feminine is opposite to the Atlantic Hurricanes. Furthermore, the masculine/feminine is reversed every year. IOW, next year's EPac "J" hurricane will be a feminine name and next year's Atlantic "J" hurricane will be a masculine name. The name lists come out of some official body in the sever storms forecasting community, and are prepared years in advance.
Wait a minute. . . Are you telling me BUSH KNEW!?!
