This MIGHT be GOOD NEWS for Florida. You Hurricane Junkies can probably interpret this better than me but it looks like a SIGNIFICANT change in Wilma's projected track is coming soon.

Must have used a big nail for fuse in the hurricane generator

[nralife]

Yea, I'm waiting for the short-hand version, too.

...straight to New Orleans...

[Sub-Driver]

reminds me of the Kerry campaign. all over the place.

Anybody have this translated in English??

[PJ-Comix]

It took me a while to find this. When I heard the National Hurricane Service news conference at about 4:45 PM today they were talking about this change in their forecast models. I haven't been able to find anything on the Web about this until just now. I'm sure we will hear much more about this by tomorrow morning.

[PJ-Comix]

Could you translate this, Nautinurse?

"Wilma Forecast Track Models Collapse...?"


I dunno. Those Flintstones didn't know much more about the weather than our contemporary meteorologists....

[Dan Nunn]

Haha, beautiful. Bush better fix it quick or Farrakhan might get suspicious. Then again, he probably already knows what's going to happen as the 'UFOs' told him so.

"Anybody have this translated in English??"

Yep, it means "we ain't got a clue!"

[dirtboy]

Anybody have this translated in English??

Yeah. The models had been trending in the same general direction, like a flock of geese.

Now, they're like a covey of quail.

Translation - they're really not sure where this is going to go, or even if it is going to go anywhere - it might just drift about without any solid steering currents. And if that takes it over any land mass, you're talking catastrophic flooding.

But that would be over Cuba or the Yucatan.

Damn, it seems like Karl Rove can't do anything right these days!!!

[johnmecainrino]

Wilma will not hit Florida because it will not be picked up by the low coming down from the great lakes.

Wilma was to be picked up by the low because the models had Wilma further north at this point.

Wilma now is in no man's land and will probably hit Mexico then go inland and then meander back to Cuba in about 5 days.

It's strangely comforting to see professional meteorologists come up with completely erroneous forecasts.

[gondramB]

Yep.

Here is a page that shows the different models.

One shows it hitting southern Mexico a few for norther Florida some for middle Florida and a few for southern Florida.

Its gonna make preparation tougher.

Here you go

This sounds like a repeat of Hurrican Mitch in 1998. The meteorologists were off in their forecast track back then too.

[Tarpon]

We ain't got a clue, but someone is going to get a whooping, we think.

[PJ-Comix]

I LIKE the two forecast tracks (BAMS and BAMM) that show it doing a sharp U-Turn and moving East well to the South of Cuba.
