2. The track seems to be updated this morning -- 2 changes

1) The eye looks a little closer to the west coast

2) Seems to be moving slower

Mobile floods easily. Even in a Cat 1 there will be a lot of rain.

9. Joyce petered out into a depression

Maybe Isaac will lighten up too - I like checking these out on the National Hurricane center page.

5. Just curious. Is there anybody on the podium for the GOP planning to deny climate change?

While Isaac isn't necessarily a function of climate change, that certainly would be awkward to rail against climate change in the middle of a hurricane.
