The cone of uncertainty spans from the western tip of Louisiana into the Florida Panhandle. All eyes in the Northern Gulf of Mexico should be watching the path of this storm very closely.

This storm gives me a bad feeling..

Many thanks to you NN for the terrific job you've done with all the hurricane threads ... I always know where to come to get the best info, gossip, speculation and hard facts..it's wonderful!!

"The hurricane hindered the Coast Guard's search early Friday for a family of five who went out on their 24-foot pleasure boat. A Coast Guard helicopter finally found Edward and Tina Larsen and their three children. Their conditions were not immediately known."

I can never understand why some people aren't clued in to get the heck out of harms way, especially with kids in tow!! These boating imbecils had no business being out in a boat thus putting coast guardsmen in harms way too. Needless.

Got both my eyes on it.
