Please use common sense when posting graphics--keeping in mind there are FReepers who use dial-up access to the internet, and many have java limitations (e.g. satellite loops). In other words--links are better than posting the graphics.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mods have to change the title to TS/Hurricane/TS/TD Ernesto by 5pm, if not sooner.

[tiredoflaundry]

Good morning everyone!

Has the presser with Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and friends occurred yet,if so, give some info on what was said.....if not, give the EDT time of the presser

[100-Fold_Return]

That ol' cripple Ff-150 sure had some crazy notions, like rebuking storms and other nonsense, now didn't he.

And...prayer is a tool...

[clintonh8r]

Thanks for the fresh thread. Still hoping to make my 19:25 flight out of MIA Wednesday night.....

The Monday morning 5 day projection looks just like 2005 Opheilla in NC.

Have the tolls been suspended yet?

or is that automatic when ever the state goes on hurricane alert?

[standingfirm]

Watching and waiting here in Sarasota. Don't think we'll be affected by this much, but of course, as we have learned, you never know.

Cool, I get to make my first "checking in from Ft Lauderdale" post of the season.

My gut tells me this will continue to shift East and not make landfall anywhere. Of course I will prepare like a direct hit is guaranteed. My only concern is I have a lot of friends/family out of town and I'll need to do what I can to protect their property/boats/cars.

If this hits close I'll have a very interesting perspective this time. I just moved into a brand new two story townhouse with very thick hurricane windows. From the second story I can see for miles. I look out across a park and I can see all of Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood airport.

I didn't take any "during" pictures last year, this time I will. I'll also try to post some so ya'll can see developments in real time :)

Checking in ... half the models have it coming to casa NVA, the other half to my evac location. If I split the difference and visit the Mouse House, it will probably go there like Charlie. Sigh. Time to do the 72 hour drill.

This Ernesto just keeps getting weaker and could be a big disappointment to the MSM/Weather Channel/global warming freaks.

[leilani]

Hey, you've got a convert! I tried your "Buffet strategy" for hurricane prayers that you posted to me on the old thread last night & whaddya know it worked - nobody I know is in it's path now! Thanks! ;-)

[Orange1998]

Have you notice the number of East Pacific Storms this year. I don't hear the talking heads referencing it. It's got to be a record number.

HURRICANE ERNESTO - a.k.a. Sparrow Fart of a Nothing Storm

[rock_lobsta]

Those poor mooooozelimb insurgent detainees at gitmo. That eeeeeeeevil George Bush sent this storm to torture them further. /s

Smelly terrorist bastards finally got a bath.

[Jaded]

Ernesto has approached the eastern portion of Cuba, where the government issued a hurricane warning for six provinces, tourists were evacuated, and baseball games were played earlier Sunday than originally scheduled.

Gotta keep our priorities straight!
