Hurricane season '08

TS Hanna is starting to worry me. The last thing Florida's East Coast needs right now is MORE RAIN.

I'm in Raleigh...and we're worried that it could come up here! We just got all of the remnants of Fay and we're soaked up here (not as much as in Florida though).

We haven't gotten a hurricane in a while...and I believe that we're due for one unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm in Greensboro and I am sooooo tired of leftover hurricane rain. I haven't seen the sun in 4 days!

This site is pretty good for tracking too:

I especially like the spaghetti model!

Gustav is up to a Cat 4, highest winds in the eye wall were measured by the hurricane hunters as 163 mph! I truly hope he loses some steam before he hits the US. Cuba is really in for it. It's down to 935 mb of pressure too. Yikes, what a monster.

I really hope the people of New Orleans leave. I spent the summer of 2007, for 8 weeks, as an AmeriCorps VISTA working with youth organizations in the city of New Orleans. Words can't even describe my fear for the still recovering area if they get a direct hit there. Just continuing to hope and pray for the safety of any area it may hit.

It's looking less and less like NOLA will be hit directly, but I think they'll still feel some pretty severe effects. They are really having a hard time predicting where this thing is going to make landfall.
