Gustav makes landfall in Haiti

Another hurricane on the Horizon, oh joy.

I wouldn't mind Florida getting stomped again, then again it is pretty nice that it isn't raining anymore...

Hurricane warnings remain in effect from Barahona in the Dominican Republic west to Le Mole St. Nicholas in Haiti, and for the Cuban provinces of Guantanamo, Santiago de Cuba and Granma. Hurricane watches are posted for Haiti from Le Mole St. Nicholas to the northern border with the Dominican Republic; the Cuban provinces of Las Tunas and Holguin; and Jamaica. Elsewhere, Tropical Depression Fay continues to inundate much of the Southeast and southern Appalachians. The low that was formerly Fay is near the Alabama-Tennessee border and tracking northward.

It's ironic. That Hurricane hit the Cayman Islands (where I went on vacation last week) just after I left.

I wouldn't mind some more destruction, but in all seriousness I would rather it not, being stuck at home during the horrible storm is pitiful, and if anything around a category 2 storm or up comes through we would evacuate. 60 MPH winds are disgusting, anything in the 80-120 range (or whatever it goes through 2-3 category) is seriously dangerous, I'd rather not have to go hang out in GA, or wherever would be advised.

you should come all the way over the the good state of arizona, you'll see so little rain you'll of forgotten what it is.

Heh, no thanks! I like humidity and beaches.
