Now We Watch "Hanna"

with gustav now onshore and louisiana being battered, we now need to start thinking about the end of the week and hanna.

right now it looks like it will track like many hurricanes in our histlry and stay just offshore scraping us with tropical storm force winds wednesday night into friday midday.

this storm will bring beach erosion, rough surf and isolated tornadoes from orlando to the east coast during this time.

if the high pressure ridge builds back to the south then there is a chance "hanna" could cross central florida. so while the track is to go to savannah, georgia we need to monitor this storm and be prepared for it to shift....just in case it does.

in the meantime only a 30% coverage of thunderstorms today and partly cloudy skies. some high clouds are sticking around and those are the high cloud bands from gustav.

...well don't get caught saying “its over” in LA just yet , we still have a lot of water heading down stream. But yes we need to watch Hanna and that next storm as well, I am still worried about how much water Hanna is going to dump and where ! ...hopefully it will fall south of us here, sorry to those in south Florida but we just can't handle any more rain yet!

Nah, Hanna won't make a hit but you can say good by to the beach. It will be terrible for beach erosion.

...FNC is now predicting a 1-2 “Punch” for Florida...I am still worried about how much rain we will see in the next two weeks.

Now candy don't go setting a bad example for the kids ! Time off work is not worth the mess a hurricane makes.
Hey Jim I have noticed that FNC is running links to the Fox 13 (Tampa) web site , darned good ones! Could you start putting up the “maps” that they have on their site or a link to them

Well yes/no a bit of levity is a good thing when facing adversity, just wanted to say time off work for a hurricane really is a 1-2 punch ! Less money in my pocket and more busted stuff around the house I need money to pay for....I am glad NO got off easy but I hope they get off their butts and make some “plans” to take care of themselves in the future because the rest of America will tire of “helping them “ really quickly and no matter who is in the big chair in a year or two another Katrina will come and No One will be there to “help” LA ! This mass evacuation paid for and lead by the Federal government is not a practical solution....IF it was then where is my BUS the next time a storm comes this way ? LOL
