If the current track is close to the final track, it will do a lot of good in the Mississippi Valley, and might get barge traffic moving again. It is too late for a lot of farmers, but some may make it through with the new rain.

On the plus side, a major reason it hasn’t become a hurricane yet is its size. It has a lot of atmosphere to push.

if isaac ends up dumping cold water on half the gulf of mexico that won’t be all bad.

This sucker is over 400 miles across, so the Northern Gulf Coast is going to be impacted, unless it listens to the WND and heads for the Mittster. They aren’t kidding about the Tropical Storm Warning along the Atlantic Coast because it’s pulling moisture from the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Gulf at the moment. On the plus side, a major reason it hasn’t become a hurricane yet is its size. It has a lot of atmosphere to push.

Guys, there’s no uncertainty in the track of Hurricane Isaac. It has been deliberately steered by President Obama to strike Tampa and ruin the Republican convention. I heard this fact from two reliable sources: Rush Limbaugh and World Net Daily. 😈

Yes, the word “gobsmacked” was invented for exactly this moment :).

i see you’re on the very eastern edge of the hurricane warning, which gives me hope that maybe i’ll be on the very eastern edge of the hurricane.

then again the all caps IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE IS GREATER THAN USUAL UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK FORECAST shouting is probably warranted for this particular storm, teletype holdover or no.

also, the newest track has it headed for poor waveland – i’ll bet they’re hoping the storm makes an eastward turn.

Think back to the ASR 33 – “we don’t need no stinkin’ commas …” They use three periods for any other punctuation.

You might want to start paying attention, Steve. They have been shifting West with this storm.

Hang in there, my friend! I see what you mean about uncertainty in the forecast.

“doesn’t use lower case.”

OR…TRUTH BE TOLD…COMMAS. 🙂
