5. The closest Ernesto is going to get to the Gulf of Mexico

is crawling up the coast of Western Florida.

And fortunately (although not for Haiti & Cuba) this one is petering out. Worst that will happen is alot of rain

2. None of the models show that

3. I'm just looking at real time radar and it's already west of Miami.

It's looking to me like it will hit the west side of Florida rather than the east.

6. Yes but the path of the hurricane shows it going >>>>>>

which means Florida will be hit much more than any of the gulf states west of Florida

4. Spaghetti models are converging

?553761100

If they are correct, it won't be over the gulf long enough to get to be a catastrophic storm and I certainly hope it doesn't

7. It's heading for Pittsburgh

Hope it's nicer than Ivan.

8. If it follows those western most tracks it could be over water ...

for another 24 hours. That's plenty of time for it to get rev'ed up before it hits Tampa.

9. Usually, if the whole system is over open water

they develope more.

If part of the system is over land, they don't develope well.

I certainly hope that is the case.

10. I'm sure something is going on. CNN now has graphics

and BIG DRAMATIC MUSIC..with drums! Shameless whores! "Fear, fear, FEAR! Vote for Bush or we're all going to DIE!":scared:
