My dad calls such buildings Third Pig Houses - because the wolf couldn' blow down the third pig's home.

I like that. There are quite a few of those in Florida -- mostly from the days before FEMA and flood insurance, when folks who survived one hurricane took it upon themselves to damn well be prepared for the next.

"Ernesto doesn't even look like a tropical depression on the infrared imagery this afternoon. Gitmo, Cuba never even had TS gusts through this morning and now the pressures throughout Cuba are quite high.

I have NO IDEA how this storm could reach hurricane strength by landfall with Florida, if in fact it does reach Florida.

The cyclonic flow is more or less destroyed, it would take at least 24 hours for this system under THE BEST conditions to make it to 64 knots."
