Last I heard, Dennis impacted 17 states with weather problems. I am sure you will have a wonderful visit with your family.
That is priceless!
I registered there as Leapfrog a while back but haven't visited often.
Thanks for the reminder.
The past 20 sequences on the satellite loop look like it has switched from 290 to 295/300. Straight line from the past 20 loops puts landfall at Cancun. It will be interesting to see the 11pm discussion.
>>My kids haven't seen their Mee-maw & Pee-paw in over a year, and they miss them.<<
Who came up with those names? :)
Priceless is right. That's why I had to steal it.
I believe Mom & Dad did. The nieces call them "Maco & Paco", and they wanted OUR kids to call them something different.
FOX just did a proper forecast predicting landfall in Mexico Wednesday morning.
I don't know what that earlier BS was all about.
lol we're under a flash flood watch till 10 PM here in PA now.
LOL--I'll never complain about being called Nana......I called my grandparents Momo and Bompo.
That's a relief! No need for silly projections with this storm.
ROFL!! Cute!! I love it!
lol--even with broadband, I just got that loop to load. That image is almost true to scale the size of the storm!
Nice link. It almost looks like she is thinking about shooting the gap!
very cool.... never seen overlays like that before
Rut ro rorge! Our dog's name is Nana lol
;o) strike and awe, hurricane style...
I have friends on a plane from Houston to Roatan, Honduras right now for a SCUBA trip/second honeymoon. Not sure how this will affect them, but at least they aren't going to Cozumel.
