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.

I heard this storm has serious growth potential.

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

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.

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?
