Your daughter, her children, and you are in my prayers to safely weather this storm.

It's all Bush's fault - if he had signed the Kyoto treaty, we would not have to worry about these ole storms LOL.

Just a side note. The computer models on the weather underground have this storm as a minimal hurricane near the Yucatan peninsula (not the west coast of Florida) by the end of the week.

Thanks. I've been following NOAA's National Hurricane Center, the advisories, discussions and experimental landfall models yet would just as soon read something more positive. :-)

Thank you my dear, sweet FRiend.
Let's hope this storm dissipates.

FOTFL! There are those who actually believe that.
They ignore the fact that 1933 was the busy year of record.

It's still considered a slow moving (bad news) Tropical Depression (good news), and is expected to possibly become a Tropical Storm on Monday in the latest National Hurricane Center's Advisory.
