Heads up in western La., northeastern Tx. This one could be much more serious than Isidore.

Bottom line is that we should have a major hurricane nearing the Gulf coastline in three days time.

Doesn't sound too good.

Didn't we do this again a week and a half ago?

Here's the latest strike probability map on Lili from www.wunderground.com

This thing has me NERVOUS. I'm flying to FLA on Wednesday for 4 days of fishing off the Florida keys. I was under the mistaken impression that if I scheduled in October I would get around hurricane season.

I wish I knew what he meant by MAJOR hurricane. A Category 1 isn't a major hurricane, in my opinion. It will ruin your day if it's a direct hit on your home, but it's not a killer.

If they expect it to get bigger than that, I'm going to get mighty nervous.

Well, Dennis 1x, here we go again! Lucked out on Isidore. We were in Claremont, Ca watching the flames of the Angeles National Forest fire's flames danced in a huge torch line. While Isidore marched toward our house in Lake Jackson on the Tex Gulf coast, the forest fire marched toward our LA apartment. I could see the flames from my back door at night, it is smaller now, but it was scary thinking I could lose both homes - one to fire and one to water. We also had at least 4 earthquakes in S. Calif during this time. Now I am headed back to LA tomorrow, after a few days here in LJ, and HOPING that this Hurricane Lili spares me! My 21 year old son lives at the house while I am gone, and he would have to evacuate with three cats and drive inland. Life is never dull .......

Take care,
Barb

Let me put these within the first 50 posts so that folks can see them without having to search later. These maps should automatically update.

It's way more organized than it had been. It'll have several days to strengthen and'll probably be pretty strong when it hits. You guys down there on the Gulf had better take care.

Oooooooh, No. Say it ain't so. Deja vu.

[DoctorMichael]

Due the stupidity of the DemoRATS that run Charlottesville, VA we are currently under water restrictions because our reservoir is getting near empty.

WE NEED THE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEND THE STORM UP HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricane a comin. Hurricane a comin.

I hate to wish this thing upon anyone else, but dear God I hope this thing bypasses the Houston area. I was a little kid when Alicia struck and it was horrible.

Looks like Lili is "threading the needle" between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba. We were lucky with Isadore (not so the people of the Yucatan, of course) when it spent much of its energy interacting with that larger land mass. Lili, just clipping the low and narrow tip of Cuba and moving relatively rapidly, won't be weakened appreciably. As it moves over the warm gulf, it figures to strengthen.

I'm sure ya'll on the Texas and Louisiana coasts are taking this one seriously.
