#1 Hunker down, and good luck. Let's hope it doesn't get any stronger and blows past quickly.

Oh, and it's Bush's fault for not signing Kyoto.

#2 Maybe the Sierra Oriente or Sierra Madres will kill it. Pray it stays out of the Windward Passage.

#5 Keep safe, all who are in the path of this one. Food, water, duct tape ... be sure to stock the essentials.

#7 Got the hurricane kit all good to go, just have to decide where to ride it out (apartment we're stuck with until end of Sep or new house we're in the process of moving to....). For now, will watch it and make the final decision later.

(Thanks, Sea!)

#10 Swamps when's your due date? Olde wives say low pressure causes early babies.

#12 Well, Joey's due 1 Oct. He's still got a ways to go. My doctor told me that low pressure thing is a myth (I asked him at the first appointment). I'm still going to double check with his office tomorrow, though, to see if he wants me to do anything other than stay in the house with all of the rest of the sensible people. ;)

#13 The latest forecasts have moved Ernesto's projected path far to the right...

Sorry, Captain America, this is obviously Karl Rove's handiwork...

#14 Latest update.....Gov Bush just ordered all the tourists, RV's and travel trailers to git the hell outta the Keys. Key West International is expected to stay open until Monday night and some residents will be moved to shelters early Monday morning. He already declared a state of emergency, and partially activated the emergency management center in Tallahassee.

At 2pm EST, it was about 165 miles SSe of Gitmo, and 105 miles SSW of Port-au-Prince.

#15 at 5pm EDT it was downgraded to a tropical storm

#18 Go Haiti!

APPARENTLY...THE HIGHLY MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHWESTERN
PENINSULA OF HAITI HAS DISRUPTED THE CIRCULATION OF ERNESTO. THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER HAS BECOME BROAD AND ILL-DEFINED...THE MINIMUM
PRESSURE HAS RISEN TO ABOUT 1004 MB...AND THE HIGHEST OBSERVED
FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS WERE 42 KT.
