I am hoping he shoots the Gap and gets into the GOM.
Hoping? HOPING? To see what? Another friggin' Cat 5 that kills people and causes billions of dollars in damage and jacks the price of gas up again? You didn't get enough of that morbid entertainment last year?
Woof. Sane people hope Ernesto is dead and stays that way.
Those people have never been through a Hurricane/Typhoon !!!
It's pretty weird on those forums. You get some good information, but it's populated with people who want mayhem. The last thing they want is a storm to die.
The weirdest thing are the people who try to make every move of the storm mean that they're personally going to get nailed. There's a term for that, "wishcasting." It was before the internet, but I hoped to experience a hurricane, so I would have been a wishcaster if I'd had the opportunity.
I got Andrew, and my wishcasting days are over. I saw Rita last year where dozens of people died on the sweltering freeway just trying to run.
I hope these storms never form and the ones that do all head to Iceland. There is nothing the least bit fun about them.
