1. Do you have anything that compares it to Dennis' path?

[SteppingRazor]

4. Dennis was more northward than westward...

It hit Jamaica, western Cuba, then went up the Gulf west of Florida and hit the Florida panhandle.

This looks as if it might hit the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, where I live... Luckily, by sheer coincidence, I'll be in New York City this Friday through Wednesday oof next week. Woo!

2. Looks like it is headed straight for Gitmo.

Lots of islands in a direct path. :scared:

[Zorbuddha]

3. It's too far out

for that path to mean much. But it is surely ominous.
Buckle up, buckaroos, this season is going to be a rodeo.

5. One each week

Look off the horn of Africa right now, there's a small disturbance behind Emily.

8. Minor correction:

the "horn" of Africa is on the other side-- Somalia, Ethiopia, etc.

12. D'OH!

14. I said the same such to my hubbie this weekend. Watch out and away

we go, here comes Emily! It's go to be a heck of a "hurricane season" this year!

Most interesting of all was to see how "CNN" was so "on top of it". "Hurricane HQ", my dearest even made a pretty good joke at one point, "there is another hurricane". I looked at him, said what and he said a hurricane of CNN journalists and coverage. I had to laugh. He got me.

7. Only after you mentioned it

I bow before your superior knowledge

10. Colin Powell reference?

I don't get it.

[Bethany Rockafella]

13. This is what Colin Powell told his assistant on "Meet The Press"

Here is a part of the transcript:

Russert: Finally, Mr. Secretary, in February of 2003, you placed your enormous personal credibility before the United Nations and laid out a case against Saddam Hussein citing...

Powell: Not off.

Emily: No. They can't use it. They're editing it. They (unintelligible).

Powell: He's still asking me questions. Tim.

Emily: He was not...

Powell: Tim, I'm sorry, I lost you.

Russert: I'm right here, Mr. Secretary. I would hope they would put you back on camera. I don't know who did that.

Powell: We really...

Russert: I think that was one of your staff, Mr. Secretary. I don't think that's appropriate.

Powell: Emily, get out of the way.

Emily: OK.

Powell: Bring the camera back, please. I think we're back on, Tim. Go ahead with your last question.
