Pay attention this time, Bush: "It's time to make those preparations."

If NOTHING happens, GREAT. We don't NEED any more suffering.

But save the cake and guitar strumming for another time. DO YOUR JOB.

FLAGLER BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Tropical Storm Ophelia strengthened into a hurricane again Saturday as forecasters said that a landfall somewhere along the southeast Atlantic coast appeared more likely.

Forecasters have urged residents from the Georgia-Florida border to the Carolinas to a keep close watch on Ophelia's path. A hurricane watch was issued from north of the Savannah River in South Carolina to Cape Lookout in North Carolina, meaning hurricane-force winds of at least 74 mph were possible by Sunday evening.

A hurricane hunter flying through Ophelia measured top sustained winds of 80 mph. It could strengthen a bit before an expected Monday landfall, said Eric Blake, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center.

"Almost every (computer) model indicates a United States landfall," he said. "It's time to make those preparations."

1. It's the fault of the STATE and LOCAL officials, NOT Bush!

Oh, wait a minute.

The thing hasn't made landfall yet, has it?

Never mind.

4. I thought about Zero when I did that...

...but the guitar sort of dictated "Nero."

He's both, however...Nero AND a Zero...so nothing's really changed.

3. So if you're on the Georgia side

of the Savannah River you don't have to worry? Woo hoo!

5. Hmmm.... between the two of them, who should BE president?

This is not a trick question.
