I've just been playing meteorologist

Currently, Tropical Storm Hurricane Tropical Pain-in-the-Tuchus Ernesto is lurking about immediately south of Hispanola (Haiti/Dominican Republic, for the geographically disadvantaged). He's currently predicted to round the islands, bop up into the Gulf (following the nice warm water) then perversely cut across Tampa to go visit Jacksonville -- I think at about Cat 2.

I pulled out all my good weather links, looked at highs and lows and the jet stream and can't see anything myself that'll particularly divert or mitigate Ernesto doing whatever he feels like, short of pushing too far straight north -- the front which apparently parallels the jet stream looks like it'll foil that.

The real forecasters are being twitchy, though. Argh. One way or another though, we're getting wet this week.

Man, y'all don't get much respite from the buggers, do you?

And you lot do? I still flinch over the state of your (collective) bananas, as funny as that sounds.

However, yes - there is indeedy a reason the National Hurricane Center's bunker lives here.

Glad you like it. It begged to be made, because she really is made of cute.

Don't worry, I flinch over the state of our bananas as well. At $12AU a kilo, no bananas for me. :-(

OW. [does hasty conversion and lookup]

That's currently around... US$9 (eek), compared to us paying... ummm... on sale for US$0.39/lb.? (or $1/lb for organic)

[embarrassed look]

I'd ship you a case green if it weren't for the horrific price involved. I live right near the produce market.

If they tell you to get out, call me and head on up. At the rate you drive, I might have the house clean by the time you get here, and we haven't been smoking in the house since Seester called about her troubles.

Oh, they won't - this house was built before Lennar/Arvida. Andrew wasn't a problem ('course, he was also compact and over a dozen miles south).

But thanks much! :D You'll have to wait until the end of September. ^_^
