Just When We Thought It Was Safe To Take Down The Shutters

I'll bet you think it's all Clinton's fault, right?

Will you be asking for government funds to rebuild your trailer, or will you put your money where your mouth is and live up to the 'every man for himself/the free market is great/f**k the Democrats' image?

She's still just a Tropical storm, though... Not that it would make a difference, it's still a lot of wind and rain.

I would think that Ivan's path would or could greatly affect Jeanne's path, as the winds off the south end of Ivan would actually push Jeanne on a more northerly track. I haven't taken any looks at the jet streams, nor am I a meteorologist to be able to make any sort of educated guesses.

Weather Channel shows a more northerly track, or at least doesn't show as much of the southerly track as Accuweather.

I don't envy Floridians one bit at this point, and just hope everyone stays safe. It also looks like there's another wave coming off of Africa that could become Karl next week...

Capt, did your parents have any children?

Posted by Rand Simberg at September 15, 2004 02:01 PM

Now, be nice, maybe his parents were siblings or circus folk or something.

Hmmm. Bad week for the lefties, followed by increased moonbat activity. I'm sure it's totally unrelated, and the fact there's a 99.99999% correlation is purely coincidence.

In order to stop the laundering, bankers should ask new account holders if they are high government fish.

After the hurricane passes Cayman, a big problem will be mold. They will have to declare war on rugs!

It's a good thing Ivan wasn't Stalin, Putin on more power.

The sugar crop was mostly spoiled, but they quickly saved some of it before the storm. The farmer's market is having a hurry cane sale.

Ivan did one good deed: scattering flowers all over florid.

Charlie, Frances and Ivan may have come from Africa due to the Butterfly effect. Who knows what the wingbeat of 20,000 butterflies hanging in Chad can do?

Some water got into the shuttle electronics at the Cape. They tried to change their name to KFC to help get money from Congress, but they changed it back so they would not have to pay royalties.

There are those who say jobs are flooding offshore. Well, I say that onshoring is turning into a flood in Florida!

Since hurricanes are formed by warm salt water, I would call it fluid A.

The current five day track for Jeanne has it recurving back toward Florida, just north of KSC.

This will change, of course.

Posted by Paul Dietz at September 17, 2004 07:03 AM

Which "current five-day track"? Every weather service has a different one. Accuweather's looks the worst to me, from a southeast Florida standpoint.

Posted by Rand Simberg at September 17, 2004 07:15 AM

The one from the National Hurricane Center.

Specifically, the one for Advisory 16.

She's a Tropical Depression now, sustained winds of 35 MPH. Just a big slow thunderstorm. She hung out over the mountains of the Dom. Republic too long, and lost most of her strength.

Of course, once she gets back over open water, that could all change, again.

Looks like my post above about that wave off of Africa was fairly prescient. It's getting more organized, will probably be T.D. Karl by Monday...

Posted by John Breen III at September 17, 2004 03:08 PM

Karl was a tropical storm for a couple of days, and is now a hurricane. It doesn't appear to be any threat to the Americas, though.
