"Off topic--FOX News reporting Centani and Olaf have been released."
Wonderful news! Hooraaaaaaaaaaay!!!
On that note, I have some busy work to do.
Requires flash player to view the animated swell map.
Thank you for the ping!
We need to keep an eye on this rascal.
LOL--not even close! My mother also uses dial-up. I have to downscale photos to very low resolution when I send them to her.
Oops, didn't realize there was a new thread already -- just left you a post on the old one, sorry!
Dialup... yeesh.
I'd go crazy if I had to return to it. Broadband for 7 years, woo!
The weather channel model that I saw just a little while ago was showing Ernesto could spread out clear to the La. coast as it gets closer to shore on Thursday. Did I read it wrong?
Our children live in the area and we are watching with baited breath.
"I was the only one one the planet that still used dial=up."
Don't feel alone -- I've been dialup my whole internet life, since the good ol' 2400bps days.
(okay - poverty keeps me here.. better 'n nuttin...)
You really need to upgrade. Once you go high speed you will never look back.
Broadban is not available to some parts of the country, even though they are a just outside large cities.
Thats my thoughts as well.
Good luck, our children live in your area. I worry, but so far so good.
First of all, any more, the Weather Channel is in the hurricane hype business. I would not be surprised if they were warning people in Seattle to keep tuning in to keep an eye on Ernesto.
Second, the latest NHC 5-day forecast puts the westernmost boundary of uncertainty at the FL-AL border, so Louisiana is west of that.
I would not worry about Ernesto impacting your children for now. That could change - 24 hours ago the 5-day had Ernesto's track as Katrina II, it could shift back. But the trend has been for the track to keep shifting eastward - recall that Rita's forecast track kept shifting north and east - it was at one point forecast to go into Matagorda Bay along the central Texas coast and ended up hitting the TX-LA border. It is my experience that once the forecast track starts to shift in a direction, it tends to keep shifting in that general direction, so the weather factors that are making the track shift eastward would have to reverse themselves to make it shift back towards Louisiana.
If anything, it looks like a trough will pull the system to the NE once it reaches 25N, wherever it happens to be at the time.
G'Nite, AM.
Wasn't that a song? The Admin Sleeps Tonight?
" The Admin Sleeps Tonight? "
'a-weem-a-wep, a-weem-a-wep'
That one??
And a bit more of a jog puts it north of Cuba. Very slight track movements now will have big impacts on the future track and intensity. I am holding onto hopes that this sucker never makes it into the Gulf.
