The latest projected path of newly formed Tropical Storm Gamma has the system hitting the Southwest Florida coast sometime Monday.Gamma formed off the coast of Central America and tropical storm warnings were issued for the entire coast of Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras. Mexico issued a tropical storm watch for the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, which was hit hard in October by Hurricane Wilma.
The long-term track from the National Hurricane Center indicated that Gamma may take a track similar to Wilma's and head northeast toward the Florida Peninsula. Wilma tore across the southern portion of the state on Oct. 24, causing widespread damage and power outages.
At 4 p.m. EST, Gamma's maximum sustained winds were 40 mph and it was located about 40 miles north of Limon, Honduras, and moving erratically toward the west-northwest at about 5 mph.
Gamma is the 24th named storm of the busiest Atlantic hurricane season on record. There have been 13 hurricanes this year, another record.

It figures. I JUST bought some meat to put in the freezer (empty since Wilma). Better stock back up on hurricane food!

I know you folks are sick of this! Let's hope and pray that this one just fizzles out.
This is our second year in S. FL. I know the neighbors are blaming this on us!

I'm with you on that.

What kind of food do hurricanes eat?
;-)
Cajun.
(If it were a tornado you should feed it mobile homes.)
I just bought two half gallons of ice cream.....
It it fast!

Well, wouldn't you know?
Mother Nature just had to stick her booty up in the air and fart out another one.
What fun.
Stupid me...it was supposed to say EAT it fast! Of course, that would give you a headache (then again, hurricanes give me a headache anyway!)
