1. Look at that hard right turn.

Aimed for Ala/Fla Panhandle.

Where I am.

3. Not a promising track . . .

2. Damn It! I've been waiting about 30 year to have a storm with my name and this is all I get?

I was at least hoping for an Atlantic Storm.

5. Wait about 5 days. It may do ya proud yet.

7. Late season Caribbean storms are often the nastiest.

Mitch, Wilma...

9. I know, but being from the Atlantic coast, I wanted an Atlantic storm.

4. That sharp turn worries me!

That thing will go right up the center of the gulf if not keep going right and scrape all the way up the Florida coast.

:scared:

8. I think it will follow Wilma's path

It will re-curve into an upper-level low developing in the southeastern US.

6. It's been trending consistantly north of the models so far.

Not a good sign. The water temps in the Caribbean are insanely hot, remember Wilma in 2005? Strongest Atlantic hurricane ever. Watch out, this thing could strengthen rapidly.

10. Crap

This has the potential, should it make it back into to the Gulf, to hit the coast just as I've got my most important job interview in 5 years.
