or some such. Sundae Girl, you got passed over 'cause there's no sun in a 'cane. :) Everyone else, you got missed 'cause I hate you. :D

Is there any significance to the fact that I'm at the top of the list...other than my name starts with A?

Why no Y in 2009?

Did you skip yourself because you hate yourself, monster?

So how is the crotch itch going?
:D

I'm a perfect 10 doll.

:p

I was really disappointed that, of all the Hurricane Dolly coverage I saw, not one outlet had the headline "Hello, Dolly!"

We're going to get flooding rains tonight courtesy of remnants of Dolly, so they say.

All our weatherish news atm is about our Southland quake -- felt it, rolled with it -- and miscellaneous fires; did you get your buckets of rain?

We finally have a 'cane worthy of attention. Gustav is tracking south of Haiti and Cuba. Predicted track directs it for just east of New Orleans (where Katrina made landfall). Currently Gustav is not a hurricane. But its track puts it constatly across 84 degree (29 degree) water all the way to landfall as demonstrated by a below NOAA ocean temperature map.

This one could be category three during the weekend.

What is that? Plots derived from all the various models?

Yes. It is all the models on one page.

I find this site to be the most informative. Since I live about 5 miles from open water we pay pretty close attention to this stuff.

If you look at this storm track it tells you a lot of info. Current position, highest wind speed, current and predicted. Expected location by date. And it is updated about every six hours. Click on the current storm Atlantic Track.
