I talked to Fred ( plthijinx ) about 11am this morning , he is fine ( though slightly hung over ) , he has power , and water , but no Net connection .

maybe this
has something to do with the birth of hurricanes...
or else, Key West is the obvious epicenter of gay sex. :p

Don't look then at what may be Hurricane Stan sitting due south of Guantanamo Bay and just about to hit a long stretch of the warmest water left in the Gulf - all on the south side of Cuba.

Gay sex, nothing -- check out <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/wp200519.html">what is about to slam into China!</a>

I heard this storm has serious growth potential.

longwang?! they actually named a storm longwang?? :lol2:

I was hoping for one named after me but this will do. :male:

Guys, this isn't funny! This thing is so big, it has the ability to soak the entire coast! This one-eyed monster may not weaken much once it has penetrated the mainland.

Not to worry. We'll bail them out. Have to keep fodder for Wal-imports.

Might be a cool place to go for disaster relief.

I like the food, but I'm not at all good with the language.

They have had a shit load of flooding in S.E. Asia this summer.This can't help any, with the ground saturated. :(

The ninteenth tropical depression has just formed in the Carribbean Sea south of Cuba. Oh Stan - there art' thou?

My partner at work is leaving for a Carribean Cruise this weekend.

I think he is about to find out why the rates were so low.

My mistake. While busy watching this potential tropical storm south of Cuba at longitude 80 W, I failed to realize the National Hurricane Center was declaring a storm at 35 W as the new tropical depression. The potential tropical storm south of Cuba has not yet condensed into a tropical depression and may not when it strikes the Yucatan Pennisula.

I had a dream, months ago, that we would make it to "V" and we would see a hurricane that shares my name. I even dreamt that I would get to meet this storm, personally, and see the damage it would cause to my hometown.

It was just a dream.

And, yet, <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=167&tstamp=200510">there it nearly is</a>.

Dammit.

Isn't that something of a unique trajectory for a TS/hurricane?
