Tropical Storm Isaac located ~205 miles ESE Key West, FL
Moving NW at 18mph
Max sustained winds 65mph, 995mb
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles
from the center.
and Isaac is expected to be at or near hurricane strength when it reaches
the Florida Keys.
I predict that the idiots in NOLA will wait for The One to shower them with gifts and attention after the storm.
