Pretty cool visualizations with decent analysis tools. I liked being able to steer Tropical Storm Hanna.

Just steer her away from us! I'll be on pins and needles till Sunday Morning. Don't want to end up like those guys in Chocolate Hole.

Ja, Hanna's coming by NoVa tonight to play. We have plenty of Gosling Black Seal Rum and Ginger Beer for the Dark & Stormies.

I wonder if we should cancel the Girl Scouts canoe trip tomorrow? Nah.

Cheers, RickG

Very cool Rick G.
I'm glad to see we aren't in any danger here in VT. :D
Still waiting to return to St. John!

Thank you Cat. My suitcases are still packed from our evacuation a week and a half ago for Gustav-- what, do we have a target on us?! I'd SO much rather be packing my bathing suit and flip flops for a trip to the island! 8)

Paula - funny that your suitcases are still packed as ours are too. We took them out of the car when we got home Friday night (got power back Thursday and sewer Friday - weren't going home till we could flush the toilets) and put everything by the front door in case we have to leave again for Ike. I am starting to feel like a vagabond :lol:

We had to empty our refrigerator out cuz of not having power for so long and I refuse to put anything back in it other than beer, water and ice till we know if we are leaving again.

Good luck to everyone possibly in his path!
