Ernesto

[CubanMustGo]

WHY??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_caps

Because the use of all capital letters are supposed to be used for shouting , posting a forum message entirely in caps is a sign that the poster is a newbie or a troll. Since the beginning of America Online, ALL CAPS has commonly been associated with AOL users. More experienced users will sometimes jocularly use all-caps and misspelled phrases to make fun of newbies or use the saying "caps lock is cruise control for cool."

Netiquette prohibits the use of all caps as a form of shouting however this does not hold true as in technical writing when single word caps is common to emphisize a point or to gain the readers attention also common is the use of bold or italicized words in the same context. This form of emphasis is also used in posts, blogs and email.

Centeral to Eastern Gulf bound. Watch this one closely, it's going to go over the infamous Loop current eddies in the Gulf.

Here comes the finishing blow to NO.

The Kori Ellis effect?

I started a blog with that name, but I never blogged in it.

That sounds like the name of a band.

Last time, if I'm not mistaken, this early, Katrina was forcasted to go towards FL. It's still far off, and with the effect we're talking about there's no telling. Weather is strange.

[spurs=bling]

last year on the 25th Katrina hit FL and was making her way into the gulfcoast.

[MannyIsGod]

This storm is going east. It looks more and more like the FL panhandle.

[Das Texan]

guess that means i wont have to worry about ernesto next weekend at the coast.


bummer in a way.

First one of the season and supposedly it's going t be a CAT 2 before it hits Cuba.

Well, it was a hurricane earlier but it isn't right now. The islands seem to be kicking its ass at the moment, and it has weakend quite a bit. This is good and bad news. Obviously a weaker storm is better, but a weaker storm also won't travel the way the models predicted so the forcast track changes the longer Ernesto stays this weak.

Kind of like breaking somebody's fist with your face.
