Sucks to live in Florida right now.
Y'all can laugh at me when the tornado season rolls around.

Damn, and they all thought this one was going to stay away from the USA. Of course, nobody expected Ivan to do what he did either. Weird weather...

Now there's "Son of Ivan" out there, and he's threatening Louisiana. So, Ivan's spawn is going to hit either us or Texas.
We'll see what happens. He's refusing to die.

Better yet... 'Ivan the Terrible' is now 'Ivan The Resurrected'! 
Looks like Houston and San Antonio are gonna get pissed on this weekend...

I swear Jeanne is like a hurricane on drugs! Who ever heard of the crazy path she's been following. NE to SW, back NE again, to a loop-de-loop. How nuts. I am glad to not live in Florida right now.

Looks like we're gonna start a pool at work to see how much more of the VAB comes off.

None of this hurricane stuff is helping me make my case against my husband that we should move back to FL.

AXiD670, how can you think of leaving NC????  
BetaRose, why would you want to leave sunny Florida to move to dreary, depressing Seattle?

Lol, I know, I know. I think I'll eventually own a summer home here, but NC is just too conservative for me to live here full time! 
In all seriousness, I'm just not ready to live in the place where I'm going to live for the rest of my life. And besides, I really miss the beach.

 Let me understand. You are using the hurricanes to talk your husband into moving to a place that has more rainy days than anywhere? You must be a really good negotiator! I'm impressed!
(Don't get me wrong. I haven't been there, but I am looking forward to getting out that way and seeing it. I hear it is lovely, even if a bit wet)

It's not unusual for that to happen, since hurricanes rely on upper-level winds to provide their steering. Once in a while you get just the right combination of weather that's giving Jeanne the loop-de-loop and Ivan a new lease on life.

And that's if Jeanne doesn't whack pads 39 (Shuttle), 41 (Atlas V and Titan IV), 37 (Delta IV), 36 (Atlas IV) 17 (Delta II and III) in the process! That would REALLY throw a monkeywrench into the works for America's space programs.
